Expand description
"Fritzsch could not give the modern reader a more memorable introduction to the personalities and science of Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein unless somehow he could find the keys to H. G. Wells' time machine. ... Many readers will applaud Fritzsch for this lively but profoundly insightful book". -- Booklist, starred review
"(Fritzsch) has dreamed up a dialogue between the two great physicists, helped along by a fictional modern physicist....The conversation builds up to an explanation of E=mc2, and on the way illuminates the important points where Newtonian and Einsteinian theory diverge". -- David Lindley, New York Times Book Review
