b'A\\xa0century ago, Albert Einstein rewrote our understanding of physics with his Theory of General Relativity. Our intuitive ideas about space, time, mass, and gravity turned out to be wrong.\\nFind out how this masterwork changed our understanding of how the universe works and why you can thank Einstein whenever you turn on your GPS.\\nAlso, high-profile experiments looking for gravitational waves and for black holes will put the theories of the German genius to the test \\u2013 will they pass?\\nAnd why the story of a box, a Geiger counter, and a zombie cat made Einstein and his friend Erwin Schr\\xf6dinger uneasy about the quantum physics revolution.\\nGuests:\\n\\u2022\\xa0\\xa0Jeffrey Bennett \\u2013 Astronomer, author of What Is Relativity?: An Intuitive Introduction to Einstein\\u2019s Ideas, and Why They Matter\\n\\u2022\\xa0\\xa0Beverly Berger \\u2013 Theoretical physicist and the Secretary for the International Society on General Relativity and Gravitation\\n\\u2022\\xa0\\xa0Hiawatha Bray \\u2013 Technology reporter, Boston Globe, author of You Are Here: From the Compass to GPS, the History and Future of How We Find Ourselves\\n\\n\\u2022\\xa0Paul Halpern \\u2013 Physicist at the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia, author of Einstein\\u2019s Dice and Schr\\xf6dinger\\u2019s Cat: How Two Great Minds Battled Quantum Randomness to Create a Unified Theory of Physics\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
