Special Theory of Relativity made simple!
Review first published on jenasbookreviews.blogspot.com
Gedanken has a science project due for school so she goes to her Uncle Albert for help. He informs her of an experiment he has been working on and this new thing he has discovered, a thought bubble, where experiments can be conducted that can't be done on Earth. She agrees to go into the thought bubble to chase a light beam and try to catch one. She can't but they do learn a few things from her first attempt and several more attempts are made as they discover strange things with each experiment. She is finally able to complete her project which earns her a good grade.
In reality, Uncle Albert is Albert Einstein and this book is exploring his Special Theory of Relativity in an easier to understand way. I'm definitely a fan of the way it was presented and have gotten the other books in the series for my youngest although I look forward to reading them as well. A nice, gentle introduction to relativity for the young or old.
A good night relaxing story
Bought this book for my grandkids. Really great read at nap time or a good night relaxing story. The flow of the story is quite good. A good read for the adult who does not know much about black holes. It's not your standard super hero comic book, but if you read it they hear. It is surprising how much they observe and understand.
Fantastic!
My 9 year old loves quantum physics and found this series very funny and engaging.
Review of The Time and Space of Uncle Albert
I read with a fourth grader. There were a few good science concepts but some seemed to go above his head. I think it is a wonderful idea but was also confused by some parts of the book.
Spark kids imaginations
I heard about this book on NPR and thoroughly enjoyed reading it at breakfast this morning. A 10 year old child and on up would thoroughly enjoy the story and tackling the concepts presented. The author was a Professor of Physics who felt kids could understand the concepts of physics if they were introduced to them in story form. Kids love a challenge and lots of them could handle this one.
