About this listen

In one of the most exciting and accessible explanations of The Theory of Relativity in recent years, Professors Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw go on a journey to the frontier of 21st century science to consider the real meaning behind the iconic sequence of symbols that make up Einstein's most famous equation, exploring the principles of physics through everyday life.

Overall I liked it, they do their best to explain the things which are generally out of the everyman's grasp but unfortunately for me, I'm still not quite tall enough! There were some "aha!" moments but the bit I found hardest was listening to the equations. If there's one thing harder than looking at equations, it's hearing them! With a couple more listens though, I might get there, I'll try again once my fried brain has recovered, which should be in 1 year of space time. Or should that be one minute of space-time? You see I still don't get it.....

Still confused!

Really enjoyed it but I need to go through it again so I can pause it at the maths sections and work the maths on paper.

Good book but needs a visual medium

This is an excellent starter for delving into the non intuitive aspects of special and general relativity. Jeff Forshaw and Brian Cox have produced a beginners guide that is both entertaining and enlightening, I have been rewarded with a deeper level of comprehension that similar books have failed to deliver. Excellent!

Highly recommended!

This is such an interesting listen, completed about 5 times now! Great narration and easy to follow.

Awesome

As you'd expect from these two, an engaging and fascinating listen throughout. The science, although complex at times is contextualised and explained in laymans terms, and the narrative is easy to follow. A good listen.
