<b>They say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. But what about relativity?</b>
</p><div>Physics professor Chad Orzel and his inquisitive canine companion, Emmy, tackle the concepts of general relativity in this irresistible introduction to Einstein’s physics. Through armchair ”and sometimes passenger-seat” conversations with Emmy about the relative speeds of dog and cat motion or the logistics of squirrel-chasing, Orzel translates complex Einsteinian ideas, i.e., ”the slowing of time for a moving observer, the shrinking of moving objects, the effects of gravity on light and time, black holes, the Big Bang, and of course, E=mc2” into examples simple enough for a dog to understand.</div><div>A lively romp through one of the great theories of modern physics, <i>How to Teach Relativity to Your Dog</i> will teach you everything you ever wanted to know about space, time, and anything else you might have slept through in high school physics class.</div>
