Title: A good intellectual exercise
Review: This book was particularly good because of its simplicity and elegant style of writing. The concepts are explained fluently, and they are in a layman's terms. Sometimes the author repeats his views again and agian and it becomes boring. However, I have to admit that your view about the universe can be influenced by this book. You are forced to challenge some simple and basic concepts. Is space a void? is it flat? It is hard to beleive that "space itself can curl due to gravity". But it was even hard to beleive that earth was not flat.You can appreciate Einstein's work in this context. However, I do not agree that time is 4th dimension as stressed repeatedly in this book.This book is good for you if you have learnt basic high school physics. Enjoy!
