Einstein’ın En Büyük Hatası

Back Cover Text (From the Promotional Bulletin)

“In this book, Bodanis examines the most famous genius of the 20th century; It sheds light on the mistakes of this genius. This provocative biography exposes the human flaws that operate so elegantly in the shadow of scientific endeavors..."

— Publishers Weekly-

“What Bodanis brilliantly offers us is to understand and sympathize with Einstein's suffering as a human being.”

— Popular Science-

“Bodanis has an extraordinary ability to masterfully explain the complex science of physics. Bodanis is just like Einstein: They both enjoy physics; They love simplicity and brevity. In this book, the theory of the universe turns into the theory of life.”

—The Times (London)

Albert Einstein, considered the greatest genius of all time, revolutionized our understanding of the universe with his theory of general relativity and helped us transition to the atomic age. But for almost the last three decades of his life, he was ignored by most scientists and his ideas were challenged even by his closest friends. So how did this happen? Imagination and self-confidence had always served him well in his youth, but when he encountered the new field of quantum mechanics, those same qualities weakened him. In David Bodanis' words, despite the brilliant genius he devoted to researching the structure of the universe, Einstein could not move away from the determinist understanding of the 19th century.

In this book, David Bodanis traces Einstein's entire life, from a skeptical, strange student to the world's most brilliant physicist and then to becoming a lonely person who lost his fame. Einstein's Biggest Mistake is a work that touches upon the famous physicist's scientific achievements as well as his private life and the conflicts brought about by competition... This book explains Einstein's genius and his effects on today's science in an absorbing language, despite all his human flaws...
