On 7th November 1919, the results of that experiment were announced in London, proving Einsteins theory of relativity. A Theory of Everything (that Matters) has been written in celebration of this 100th anniversary. With the confirmation of Einsteins theories at the beginning of the twentieth century, our understanding of the universe became much more complex.

This groundbreaking book is for anyone intrigued by Einstein as one of the twentieth centurys most iconic figures, who wants to know what his theories mean for religion, and who is interested in the conversation between science and religions more broadly.An excellent study of Einsteins theories in relation to his beliefs about God - starred review in PUBLISHERS WEEKLY Author Biography Alister McGrath is Andreas Idreos Professor of Science and Religion at Oxford University, and Fellow of Harris Manchester College, Oxford. After initial academic work in the natural sciences, Alister turned to the study of theology and intellectual history, while also engaging in broader cultural debates about the rationality and relevance of Christian faith. He is the author of many academic and theological works, as well as the bestselling The Dawkins Delusion and his acclaimed C. S. Lewis - A Life. Review Albert Einstein was, without doubt, the most iconic scientist of the last century. In this lucid little book, Alister McGrath provides an accessible introduction to Einsteins great scientific discoveries, as well as a careful analysis of his views on the relationship between science and religion. Einstein was a nuanced thinker on the big questions of life, and who better than McGrath to guide us on an exploration of this aspect of Einsteins legacy. I recommend this book to anyone who wants a fuller picture of Albert Einsteins life and thought. - Ard Louis, Professor of Theoretical Physics, University of Oxford Long Description On 29th May 1919, British astronomers tested Einsteins theory of relativity by measuring the path of the stars travelling near the sun during an eclipse.
