    About this ebook

    On this, the 100th anniversary of the theory of General Relativity, comes the first real challenge to Einstein in a century. This is a complete theory of time, gravity and the infinite universe developed from first principles. This book comes in three parts, gravitational time dilation, visualising gravity in four dimensions, and black holes, the big bang and the super-universe.
