Contents Through armchair--and sometime passenger seat--conversations with his dog, Emmy, about the relative speeds of dog and cat motion or the logistics of squirrel-chasing, Orzel translates complex Einsteinian ideas--the slowing of time for a moving observer, the shrinking of moving objects, the effects of gravity on light and time, black holes, the Big Bang, and of course, E=mc²--into examples simple enough for a dog to understand.
