Amir D. Aczel
Are we on the verge of solving the riddle of creation using Einstein's "greatest blunder"?
In a work that is at once lucid, exhilarating and profound, renowned mathematician Dr. Amir Aczel, critically acclaimed author of Fermat's Last Theorem, takes us into the heart of science's greatest mystery. In January 1998, astronomers found evidence that the cosmos is expanding at an ever-increasing rate.
The way we perceive the universe was changed forever. The most compelling theory cosmologists could find to explain this phenomenon was Einstein's cosmological constant, a theory he conceived - and rejected - over 80 years ago.
Drawing on newly discovered letters of Einstein - many translated here for the first time - years of research, and interviews with prominent mathematicians, cosmologists, physicists, and astronomers, Aczel takes us on a fascinating journey into "the strange geometry of space-time," and into the mind of a genius.
Here the unthinkable becomes real: an infinite, ever-expanding, ever-accelerating universe whose only absolute is the speed of light. Awesome in scope, thrilling in detail, God's Equation is storytelling at its finest.

Interesting, but a little like a history book

Some sections I listened to 3 times. Space -Time is so fascinating. I never thought about a star at the edge of an expanding universe, 13B light years away, that can never know about its neighbor star also 13B light years away, but diametrically opposed, making it actually 26B light years away. Since the universe is estimated to be <14B years old, still 12B years short.
Thinking about this more, Man will never reach other class M planets much beyond a few hundred light years, unless it is a huge ship capable of holding several human generations or a sleeper ship. Of course then there is the problem is calling home. A 100 light-year mission makes it difficult for a two-way conversation.
Another way is to bend space-time and worm holes (if they exist). But then this runs into several space-time paradoxes. That's OK, because Man likes challenges, and we only have <5B years, before our sun consumes us, to find another home. H-m-m-m, wonder what we will have evolved too.

Yes, the narration is "dry" - but it seems appropriate for the text, and it added to the clarity.
Clear exposition, Math included

More of a history of Einstein than I had hoped.
