#Things to consider
- Einstein wrote three major articles at the age of twenty-five.
- The universe is a large space where bodies attract one another by means of forces; and there is a universal force, gravity: every body attracts every other body.
- The entire technology of the nineteenth century and of our own modern world rests largely upon Newton’s formulas.

2023-10-25: A wonderful trip through the history of physics. It’s easy to follow along in this book. The concepts are intriguing and fun to learn about. I liked the simplicity of the writing and how easy it was to grasp. It all started in Miletus around 500 BCE. Then it was Copernicus, followed by Johannes Kepler. Then came Galileo Galilei. But it was with Newton that the revolution took off. Then Faraday built on top of him and realized the invisible fields that are between objects. Finally Einstein came along and refined the previous theories. Basically he simplified that everything consists of particles and fields.
