Albert 2.0: The Great Man Reinvented to Blog for the Curious and the Scientifically Perplexed

This is the story of a great journey that started with a great thought. One day in 1895 a boy looked into a mirror and wondered what the universe would look like if he could travel on a beam of light. That sixteen year old boy was Albert Einstein and that one thought started him on the road to discover his Theory of Relativity. The great man has been reinvented as Albert 2.0 to come back and blog about a journey through space on a beam of light and explain the science behind everything from atoms, blackholes to global warming.


Here are some of the most popular blog chapters....

Quantum mechanics for cat lovers, or how Newton would have saved Schrodinger's cat.

Relatively Weird. How to get younger, thinner and fatter all at the same time.

The meaning of life...according to Albert 2.0

Or just start at the beginning and see where the story takes you.
