Title: How to Teach Relativity to Your Dog Author: Chad Orzel Narrator: Will Collyer, Cassandra Morris Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 55 minutes Release date: February 11, 2020 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 5 Genres: Astronomy & Physics Publisher's Summary: They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks. But what about relativity? Physics professor Chad Orzel and his inquisitive canine companion, Emmy, tackle the concepts of general relativity in this irresistible introduction to Einstein's physics. Through armchair- and sometimes passenger-seat-conversations with Emmy about the relative speeds of dog and cat motion or the logistics of squirrel-chasing, Orzel translates complex Einsteinian ideas -- the slowing of time for a moving observer, the shrinking of moving objects, the effects of gravity on light and time, black holes, the Big Bang, and of course, E=mc2 -- into examples simple enough for a dog to understand. A lively romp through one of the great theories of modern physics, How to Teach Relativity to Your Dog will teach you everything you ever wanted to know about space, time, and anything else you might have slept through in high school physics class.
