![new york times book review the other einstein Manhattan Book Review](https://manhattanbookreview.com/wp-content/uploads/Manhattan-Book-Review-Logo-24873.png) The Other Einstein: A Novel![new york times book review the other einstein new york times book review the other einstein](https://manhattanbookreview.com/wp-content/themes/divi-child-theme/images/stars/1stars.png) $ 25.99 The Other Einstein , by Marie Benedict, is a look at lost dreams, failing hopes, and “what ifs.” What if Mileva, the little known first wife of Albert Einstein, had never forsaken her path and graduated with a physics degree as she had planned? What if she had collaborated equally with her husband? This extraordinary woman had the misfortune to be born into a world reluctant to allow women a university education, especially in the “hard” sciences of mathematics, physics, and chemistry. Mileva had to fight for her chance, with everything working against her. She was a female of Eastern European descent who walked with a pronounced limp and was subject to open and veiled scorn alike. Mileva met Albert at university in Zurich. He was the first in her small class to be welcoming, and soon enough he managed to sneak under her guard and into her affections. This proved her undoing, in more ways than one. A pregnancy and birth out of wedlock led to Mileva failing her final work toward her physics degree and never going back to finish. Instead, she married Einstein and had two more children by him. Sadly, only the middle child survived, though by that point, Mileva was separated from the renowned physicist. This work is one of historical fiction, speculating on the relationship between Mileva and Albert, including the notion that she helped him develop the theory of relativity we know him for today. Of course, we cannot know all of the truth today, but it’s a fascinating look behind the scenes of the famed physicist’s life and an even more fascinating look at this sharp-minded woman determined to go against convention. History is as relative as time; it is the story written by the victor of an engagement, especially in absence of strong compelling evidence to the contrary. Benedict’s book is astounding. I breezed through it in a few quick hours, secluding myself from family so as to better sink into the story world. There is nothing worse than being abruptly torn from a truly engrossing story, leaving one momentarily dazed and confused by the shift, especially for mere trivialities. The writing was beautiful and always engaging, often drawing tears and melancholy. What could Mileva have accomplished had she stayed her own course? As a bonus, the cover art is quite magnificent. Highly recommended.

Could the highly intelligent Mileva Maric -- leading the bohemian life in 1890s Zurich -- pursue a nontraditional career in science and math and simultaneously maintain a traditional relationship with the young Albert Einstein? With historical flair, The Other Einstein presents a volatile life filled with moments of collaboration and sacrifice, humiliation and outrage, and a will to change forces to save one's own existence. DescriptionFrom beloved New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Marie Benedict comes the story of a not-so-famous scientist who not only loved Albert Einstein, but also shaped the theories that brought him lasting renown. In the tradition of Beatriz Williams and Paula McClain, Marie Benedict's The Other Einstein offers us a window into a brilliant, fascinating woman whose light was lost in Einstein's enormous shadow. This novel resurrects Einstein's wife, a brilliant physicist in her own right, whose contribution to the special theory of relativity is hotly debated. Was she simply Einstein's sounding board, an assistant performing complex mathematical equations? Or did she contribute something more? Mitza Maric has always been a little different from other girls. Most twenty-year-olds are wives by now, not studying physics at an elite Zurich university with only male students trying to outdo her clever calculations. But Mitza is smart enough to know that, for her, math is an easier path than marriage. Then fellow student Albert Einstein takes an interest in her, and the world turns sideways. Theirs becomes a partnership of the mind and of the heart, but there might not be room for more than one genius in a marriage. Marie Benedict illuminates one pioneering woman in STEM, returning her to the forefront of history's most famous scientists.

About the authorMarie benedict. Marie Benedict is a lawyer with more than ten years' experience as a litigator at two of the country's premier law firms, who found her calling unearthing the hidden historical stories of women. Her mission is to excavate from the past the most important, complex and fascinating women of history and bring them into the light of present-day where we can finally perceive the breadth of their contributions as well as the insights they bring to modern day issues. She embarked on a new, thematically connected series of historical novels with THE OTHER EINSTEIN, which tells the tale of Albert Einstein's first wife, a physicist herself, and the role she might have played in his theories. The next novel in this series is the USA Today bestselling CARNEGIE'S MAID -- which released in January of 2018 -- and the book that followed is the New York Times bestseller and Barnes & Noble Book Club Pick THE ONLY WOMAN IN THE ROOM, the story of the brilliant inventor Hedy Lamarr, which published in January of 2019. In January of 2020, LADY CLEMENTINE, the story of the incredible Clementine Churchill, was released, and became an international bestseller. Her next novel, the Instant NYTimes and USAToday bestselling THE MYSTERY OF MRS. CHRISTIE, was published on December 29, 2020, and her first co-written book, THE PERSONAL LIBRARIAN, with the talented Victoria Christopher Murray, will be released on June 29, 2021. Writing as Heather Terrell, Marie also published the historical novels The Chrysalis, The Map Thief, and Brigid of Kildare.

If anything, I take comfort in it, as a novelist.” Her own smash book “Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow” is out in paperback. Credit... Rebecca Clarke Supported by What books are on your night stand? This is a terribly personal question! As an author, I’ve brazenly talked about books for years, but I still feel like reading should be a little private. But, OK. For my night stand, I prefer a paperback, though at the moment I’m reading something as heavy as a textbook, a terrifically smart graphic novel called “Acting Class,” by Nick Drnaso. I also have two hardcovers in my stack: “Enter Ghost,” by Isabella Hammad and “The Fraud,” by Zadie Smith. How do you organize your books? Old stuff pushed to the back when the new stuff comes in. When it gets too crowded, I donate to the Little Free Library near my house. My partner and I like to track how many days it takes someone to accept our offerings. Describe your ideal reading experience (when, where, what, how). I’m 8. No one wants anything from me, and I have nothing to do except read. Maybe I’m reading “Anne of Green Gables.” Time stretches out forever. What moves you most in a work of literature? Character. When a writer reveals a person in all their complexity. I am moved by what time does to characters, and the ways in which characters, like humans, misunderstand themselves and their motivations. Disappointing, overrated, just not good: What book did you feel as if you were supposed to like, and didn’t? I adore Edith Wharton, and “The Age of Innocence” and “The House of Mirth” are both favorites. I had never read “Ethan Frome” until a couple of months ago. With all due respect to the ghost of Edith Wharton, “Ethan Frome” is pretty dreadful. It doesn’t make me esteem Wharton less. If anything, I take comfort in it, as a novelist.

Could the highly intelligent Mileva Maric -- leading the bohemian life in 1890s Zurich -- pursue a nontraditional career in science and math and simultaneously maintain a traditional relationship with the young Albert Einstein? With historical flair, The Other Einstein presents a volatile life filled with moments of collaboration and sacrifice, humiliation and outrage, and a will to change forces to save one's own existence. DescriptionFrom beloved New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Marie Benedict comes the story of a not-so-famous scientist who not only loved Albert Einstein, but also shaped the theories that brought him lasting renown. In the tradition of Beatriz Williams and Paula McClain, Marie Benedict's The Other Einstein offers us a window into a brilliant, fascinating woman whose light was lost in Einstein's enormous shadow. This novel resurrects Einstein's wife, a brilliant physicist in her own right, whose contribution to the special theory of relativity is hotly debated. Was she simply Einstein's sounding board, an assistant performing complex mathematical equations? Or did she contribute something more? Mitza Maric has always been a little different from other girls. Most twenty-year-olds are wives by now, not studying physics at an elite Zurich university with only male students trying to outdo her clever calculations. But Mitza is smart enough to know that, for her, math is an easier path than marriage. Then fellow student Albert Einstein takes an interest in her, and the world turns sideways. Theirs becomes a partnership of the mind and of the heart, but there might not be room for more than one genius in a marriage. Marie Benedict illuminates one pioneering woman in STEM, returning her to the forefront of history's most famous scientists. " The Other Einstein takes you into Mileva's heart, mind, and study as she tries to forge a place for herself in a scientific world dominated by men."— Bustle Recommended by PopSugar , Bustle , Booklist , Library Journal and more!

Born March 14, 1879, Einstein entered a world where the dwarf planet Pluto had yet to be discovered, and the idea of spaceflight was a distant dream. Despite the technical limitations of his time, Einstein published his famous theory of general relativity in 1915, which made predictions about the nature of the universe that would be proven accurate time and again for more than 100 years to come. Here are 10 recent observations that proved Einstein was right about the nature of the cosmos a century ago — and one that proved him wrong. 1. The first image of a black hole![new york times book review the other einstein the first ever direct image of a black hole, with yellow ring surrounding black circle](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/4CtxqzTRTSJ6KnK2h4XqpT-320-80.jpg) Einstein's theory of general relativity describes gravity as a consequence of the warping of space-time ; basically, the more massive an object is, the more it will curve space-time and cause smaller objects to fall toward it. The theory also predicts the existence of black holes — massive objects that warp space-time so much that not even light can escape them. When researchers using the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) captured the first-ever image of a black hole , they proved Einstein was right about some very specific things — namely, that each black hole has a point of no return called an event horizon , which should be roughly circular and of a predictable size based on the mass of the black hole. The EHT's groundbreaking black hole image showed this prediction was exactly right. 2. Black hole 'echoes'![new york times book review the other einstein An artist's illustration of a black hole. The center of black holes are examples of singularities.](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/8KhN9AY3JNyLzFWJuKRkNb-320-80.jpg) Astronomers proved Einstein's black hole theories correct yet again when they discovered a strange pattern of X-rays being emitted near a black hole 800 million light-years from Earth. In addition to the expected X-ray emissions flashing from the front of the black hole, the team also detected the predicted "luminous echoes" of X-ray light , which were emitted behind the black hole but still visible from Earth due to the way the black hole bent space-time around it. 3. Gravitational waves![new york times book review the other einstein gravitational waves from two merging black holes.](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/UtU7eM3Ht95ULXAC3ijm53-320-80.jpg) Einstein's theory of relativity also describes enormous ripples in the fabric of space-time called gravitational waves. These waves result from mergers between the most massive objects in the universe, such as black holes and neutron stars. Using a special detector called the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), physicists confirmed the existence of gravitational waves in 2015 , and have continued to detect dozens of other examples of gravitational waves in the years since, proving Einstein right yet again. 4. Wobbly black hole partners![new york times book review the other einstein A visualization of two merging supermassive black holes](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/LnRiPyLhP7wf2xfXbV8JW9-320-80.jpg) Studying gravitational waves can reveal the secrets of the massive, distant objects that released them. By studying the gravitational waves emitted by a pair of slowly colliding binary black holes in 2022, physicists confirmed that the massive objects wobbled — or precessed — in their orbits as they swirled ever closer to one another, just as Einstein predicted they should.

A 'dancing' spirograph star![new york times book review the other einstein An artist's impression of the star S2 precessing around the black hole at the center of the Milky Way.](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/HkUUFWjKAogJ2K6KhEgfjc-320-80.png) Scientists saw Einstein's theory of precession in action yet again after studying a star orbiting a supermassive black hole for 27 years. After completing two full orbits of the black hole, the star's orbit was seen to "dance" forward in a rosette pattern rather than moving in a fixed elliptical orbit. This movement confirmed Einstein's predictions about how an extremely small object should orbit around a comparatively gargantuan one. 6. A 'frame dragging' neutron star![new york times book review the other einstein Artist's illustration of Lense-Thirring frame-dragging resulting from a rotating white dwarf in the PSR J1141-6545 binary star system. (Image credit: Mark Myers, ARC Centre of Excellence for Gravitational Wave Discovery](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/AhCXLZpX5qVcLqYMF4u24m-320-80.png) It's not just black holes that bend space-time around them; the ultra-dense husks of dead stars can do it too. In 2020, physicists studied how a neutron star orbited around a white dwarf (two types of collapsed, dead stars) for the previous 20 years, finding a long-term drift in the way the two objects orbited each other. According to the researchers, this drift was likely caused by an effect called frame dragging; essentially, the white dwarf had tugged on space-time enough to slightly alter the neutron star's orbit over time. This, again, confirms predictions from Einstein's theory of relativity. 7. A gravitational magnifying glass![new york times book review the other einstein NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has produced the deepest and sharpest infrared image of the distant universe to date. Known as Webb’s First Deep Field, this image of galaxy cluster SMACS 0723 is overflowing with detail.](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/MasLwKqNAKxkhDabw82cub-320-80.jpg) According to Einstein, if an object is sufficiently massive, it should bend space-time in such a way that distant light emitted behind the object will appear magnified (as seen from Earth). This effect is called gravitational lensing, and has been used extensively to hold a magnifying glass up to objects in the deep universe. Famously, the James Webb Space Telescope's first deep field image used the gravitational lensing effect of a galaxy cluster 4.6 billion light-years away to significantly magnify the light from galaxies more than 13 billion light-years away. 8. Put an Einstein ring on it![new york times book review the other einstein A close up of the JO418 Einstein ring.](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/yTsQ2kniCsvQbmVKBpkAUT-320-80.jpg) One form of gravitational lensing is so vivid that physicists couldn't help but put Einstein's name on it. When the light from a distant object is magnified into a perfect halo around a massive foreground object, scientists call it an "Einstein ring." These stunning objects exist all throughout space, and have been imaged by astronomers and citizen scientists alike. 9. The shifting universe![new york times book review the other einstein What would happen if light traveled much more slowly?](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/cLEQTjZrCGc4txwkhwEKFF-320-80.jpg) As light travels across the universe, its wavelength shifts and stretches in several different ways, known as redshift. The most famous type of redshift is due to the expansion of the universe. (Einstein proposed a number called the cosmological constant to account for this apparent expansion in his other equations). However, Einstein also predicted a type of "gravitational redshift," which occurs when light loses energy on its way out of a depression in space-time created by massive objects, such as galaxies. In 2011, a study of the light from hundreds of thousands of distant galaxies proved that gravitational redshift truly does exist , as Einstein suggested. 10. Atoms on the move![new york times book review the other einstein quantum entanglement.](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/JZtpNLZVYDpRqRD7VuXxFN-320-80.jpg) Einstein's theories also hold true in the quantum realm, it seems. Relativity suggests that the speed of light is constant in a vacuum, meaning that space should look the same from every direction. In 2015, researchers proved this effect is true even on the smallest scale , when they measured the energy of two electrons moving in different directions around an atom's nucleus. The energy difference between the electrons remained constant, no matter which direction they moved, confirming that piece of Einstein's theory. 11. Wrong about 'spooky action-at-a-distance?'![new york times book review the other einstein Entangled quantum particles](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/PP8HGftdsUDEywgtcqLoqY-320-80.jpg) In a phenomenon called quantum entanglement, linked particles can seemingly communicate with each other across vast distances faster than the speed of light, and only "choose" a state to inhabit once they are measured. Einstein hated this phenomenon, famously deriding it as "spooky action-at-a-distance," and insisted that no influence can travel faster than light, and that objects have a state whether we measure them or not. But in a massive, global experiment in which millions of entangled particles were measured around the world, researchers found that the particles seemed to only pick a state the moment they were measured, and no sooner. "We showed that Einstein's world-view… in which things have properties whether or not you observe them, and no influence travels faster than light, cannot be true — at least one of those things must be false," study co-author Morgan Mitchell , a professor of quantum optics at the Institute of Photonic Sciences in Spain, told Live Science in 2018.

I am SO not a math and science person, but I think The Other Einstein may well end up as my favorite book of 2017. I remember seeing it reviewed in the New York Times when it first came out, but because I don't give a hoot about science, I didn't read it. I was afraid it would go over my head. (There is a little science in there I didn't understand, but it is not at all overwhelming.)
