Genius demystified, the Dummies way!In 1905, Albert Einstein revolutionized modern physics with his theory of relativity. He went on to become a twentieth-century icon-a man whose name and face are synonymous with genius. Now, at last, ordinary readers can explore Einsteins life and work in this new For Dummies guide. Physicist Carlos Calle chronicles Einsteins career and explains his work-including the theories of special and general relativity-in language that anyone can understand. He shows how Einsteins discoveries affected everything from the development of the atom bomb to the theory of quantum mechanics. He sheds light on Einsteins personal life and beliefs, including his views on religion and politics. And he shows how Einsteins work continues to affect our world today, from nuclear power to space travel to artificial intelligence.

Carlos I. Calle, PhD, is a senior research scientist at NASA Kennedy Space Center and the founder and director of NASAs Electrostatics and Surface Physics Laboratory. He holds a doctorate in theoretical nuclear physics from Ohio University. He is the recipient of numerous NASA awards, including the Spaceflight Awareness Award in 2003 for exceptional contributions to the space program. With his laboratory staff, he has developed new testing techniques for the Space Shuttle Thermal Control System and for the thermal shrouds on the International Space Station modules.

Calle has been working on the physical properties of the lunar and Martian soil and is currently designing and building instrumentation for future planetary exploration missions. As one of the world experts on the electrostatic properties of the lunar and Martian dust, he has been working on methods to keep dust from the space suits and equipment being planned for the lunar exploration missions.

Calle is the author of Superstrings and Other Things: A Guide to Physics, a book on physics for the general reader. He has authored over 100 scientific papers in nuclear physics, relativity, particle electrostatics, the properties of the Martian soil, and the lunar surface dust.

He has lectured on physics and relativity at several colleges and universities and is a regular speaker at the physics department at Florida Institute of Technology.

When he is away from his lab at NASA, Calle likes to spend his time drawing, painting, and sculpting, usually from life. He is married to Luz Marina Calle, also a NASA scientist. Their son and daughter-in-law, Daniel and Emily, are software engineers.
