Ciao, mi chiamo Finn e ti aiuterò a capire questo libro.

Eccolo, spiegato come se avessi 10 anni:

Albert Einstein ebbe un'idea pazzesca: il tempo e lo spazio non sono uguali per tutti. Se ti muovi molto veloce, il tuo orologio ticchetta diversamente da quello di un amico fermo, e niente può andare più veloce della luce. Più tardi disse che la gravità è in realtà lo spazio stesso che si piega. In questo libriccino Einstein lo spiega lui stesso con treni e orologi. Ti piegherà il cervello, nel modo migliore.
