How would Einstein have thought through a subject in order to ascertain the hidden secrets which he will turn into a theory, and that into a technical paper? This seems to be the contents of this book. An attempt to draw the reader into the mind of Einstein.
This book is small in size and short in chapter and length. And yet, I found it much too long. After a few chapters comparing various worlds and how time might behave in them I had to skip to the end. The conclusion is worse than the process.
Overall, I fail to enjoy the academic nature of this book. I understand that the author is (was) an MIT instructor in Physics, but in my opinion the extended study of so many possible variances showed them all to be implausible, and cheated the reader out of having his/her own thoughts on the subject.
In short, the actual time consumed in the character's life is about 2 hours. I must say that 2 hours is a generous portion of my life to devote to this book.
