General Relativity for Babies: 0 (Baby University)

Very concise and surprisingly helpful - great way to teach children the basics

Bought the whole set of these for my baby niece and nephew. They actually explain the concepts really well and all start from the same basic dot! Useful for parents, uncles and aunts as well as babies :)

The tiny receipt seemed highly perplexed and aghast from this new fundamental knowledge. The pages are thick and easy to turn for even the smallest hands.

A concept which at first seems to be a joke (indeed that is why I bought the book) but, it does actually attempt to explain relativity in simple terms which is great. Never too soon to teach your kids physics!

My 9 month old son loves this and so do I! We read this daily multiple times and enjoy the pictures combined with the "story". I love that it's genuinely interesting for me as well as him, and perhaps he picks up on that. We have most of this series of books (and started reading them with my son when he was around 4 months old). As well as this one I'd particularly recommend Rocket Science for babies and Quantum Entanglement for babies.

It's great!

this is perfect for a toddler to become aware of a difficult concept on which can be built.

My boy read this once, now he is the next albert Einstein. 😜 jokes aside, it really a good book. Nice simple explanation of general relativity.

Güzel bi kitap ama bebeğe anlatmadan önce bu konuda bir fikriniz olması gerekiyor.

We bought this board book for our not yet born grandson. This book simplifies the General Theory of Relativity as far as you possibly can. It uses simple language and colorful illustrations to give the reader an idea of what is going on. Different sized masses are different sized balls, space-time curvature is illustrated using a distorted grid, and objects orbiting larger masses, such as a star, are shown as small balls having their paths curved by a warped grid. There are simple explanations for what a black hole is and what gravity waves are. A baby would not understand this book but maybe someone who is 3-4 years old would. But your expectations need to be realistic. It should also be noted that even if you understand the book, the explanations are too simplistic for you to really understand General Relativity, but the explanations are not so simple that they are wrong. The book will just give you an idea of what is going on. However, I was impressed by the fact that the author and illustrator were able to present such an abstract theory in a way that makes it possible for a child to at least have a clue. I think that the most important aspect of the book is not whether the child understands General Relativity but the interest in science that it may evoke.

La relatività generale spiegata molto bene per i più piccoli, con bei disegni e un linguaggio semplice e ricco di esempi

Dudo que sepa el significado de lo que dice, pero de vez en cuando me lo trae y me pide que se lo explique

Fabulous books for my grandchildren. Expanding their knowledge with complex concepts explained simply.
