Features: This series of books allows today's readers to experience the grand era and the epic journey of creation by the great figures. The series strives to capture the rich spiritual world of each scientist through concise text and abundant images, covering various aspects such as their careers, achievements, moral values, love, families, political views, and more. The content is authentic, objective, and engaging, with many viewpoints referenced from extensive domestic and international literature. When reflecting on the arduous explorations they undertook in their scientific journey, we can't help but feel infinite reverence and gratitude toward them! Nor can we help but gain new insights and perceptions from these great ideas! Even today, many people still believe that the universe is flat, with light traveling straight through it; the vast majority have never questioned the concept of time, assuming it has always existed—it is only natural that we can measure the time it takes for objects to move with an accurate clock, and that time is constant. When it comes to various phenomena in the universe, such as the nine planets in the solar system orbiting the sun in elliptical paths, we generally assume that because the sun is massive, its gravitational pull is strong, pulling the family of celestial bodies together in motion. In reality, this is not the case. First, our common sense about time and space deceives us, and then our minds fall into the trap of assuming the obvious is true. So, what is the true nature of time, space, and the universe, which unites them as a whole? In the early 20th century, a physicist made brilliant arguments in his works Special Relativity and General Relativity, and his General Relativity was validated in its laboratory—the universe. Today, General Relativity is the foundational theory for studying the universe. This great figure who changed our cosmic perspective is Albert Einstein, one of the greatest physicists of the 20th century.
