Review: This book explores the universe that has been uncovered through the eyes of Einstein. It begins by setting the stage by following the timeline of some of the key discoveries of the last century, showing how many can only be properly interpreted in the light of relativity. It looks at: relativistic matter; shifting stars multiple quasars; the gravitational telescope; the stars themselves; extreme spacetime bending black holes; and the shape of Einstein’s universe.
