本书是对科学创造之美和人类本性的持久恐惧的引人入胜的探索。很少有人认识到一战，也就是1914年到1918年使欧洲血流成河的工业化屠杀，是如何影响了爱因斯坦的生活和工作的。尽管爱因斯坦从未拿过来福枪，但他在柏林创立了广义相对论，简直是在挨饿。由于无法与最重要的同事交流，他在三个月内瘦了50磅。一些同事反对狂热的民族主义;其他人忙于发明化学战——成为一名科学家将你困在帝国的权力游戏中。与此同时，爱因斯坦努力创造相对论并说服世界相信它是正确的。毕竟，这是自艾萨克·牛顿(Isaac Newton)以来，我们对宇宙概念的第一次彻底修正，它的胜利还远不能确定。试图证实爱因斯坦想法的科学家被当作间谍逮捕。技术期刊被视为敌人而被禁止。与此同时，爱因斯坦努力创造相对论并说服世界相信它是正确的。毕竟，这是自艾萨克·牛顿(Isaac Newton)以来，我们对宇宙概念的第一次彻底修正，它的胜利还远不能确定。试图证实爱因斯坦想法的科学家被当作间谍逮捕。技术期刊被作为敌人的宣传工具而被禁止。同事们死在战壕里。爱因斯坦和他最重要的盟友之间隔着铁丝网和潜艇。这位同盟者是贵格会的天文学家和剑桥的艾丁顿先生，他将继续说服世界相信相对论的真实性。这位同盟者是贵格会的天文学家和剑桥大学的艾丁顿先生，他继续说服世界相信相对论的真实性和爱因斯坦的伟大。1919年5月，欧洲还处于战争的混乱之中，爱丁顿率领了一次全球考察，捕捉了一次短暂的日食，这是一次难得的机会，以证实爱因斯坦的大胆预测：光是有重量的。正是这次探险的结果——相对论的证明，正如许多人看到的那样——让爱因斯坦登上了世界各地的头版。马修·斯坦利的这部史诗故事是对偏见和民族主义的颂扬。
Einstein"s War is a riveting exploration of both the beauty of scientific creativity and enduring horrors of human nature. These two great forces battle in a story that culminates with a victory now a century old, the mind bending theory of general relativity. Few recognize how the Great War, the industrialized slaughter that bled Europe from 1914 to 1918, shaped Einstein"s life and work. While Einstein never held a rifle, he formulated general relativity blockaded in Berlin, literally starving. He lost 50 pounds in three months, unable to communicate with his most important colleagues. Some of those colleagues fought against rabid nationalism; others were busy inventing chemical warfare--being a scientist trapped you in the power plays of empire. Meanwhile, Einstein struggled to craft relativity and persuade the world that it was correct. This was, after all, the first complete revision of our conception of the universe since Isaac Newton, and its victory was far from sure. Scientists seeking to confirm Einstein"s ideas were arrested as spies. Technical journals were banned as enemy propaganda. Colleagues died in the trenches. Einstein was separated from his most crucial ally by barbed wire and U-boats. This ally was the Quaker astronomer and Cambridge don A.S. Eddington who would go on to convince the world of the truth of relativity and the greatness of Einstein. In May of 1919, when Europe was still in chaos from the war, Eddington led a globe-spanning expedition to catch a fleeting solar eclipse for a rare opportunity to confirm Einstein"s bold prediction that light has weight. It was the result of this expedition--the proof of relativity, as many saw it--that put Einstein on front pages around the world. Matthew Stanley"s epic tale is a celebration of how bigotry and nationalism can be defeated, and of what science can offer when they are.
