About the Book

In 1784, master clockmaker John Harrison believed he had conquered time itself. His revolutionary marine chronometers could measure time with unprecedented precision, solving the longitude problem that had plagued sailors for centuries. Yet Harrison could never have imagined that his perfectly crafted clocks weren't measuring time at all-only their own distorted perception of it. What if everything you thought you knew about time was wrong? From the workshops of 18th-century London to the patent office where a young Albert Einstein would shatter centuries of scientific certainty, When Time Bends reveals the extraordinary story of humanity's quest to understand time itself. Through vivid storytelling and accessible explanations, Douglas Donovan takes readers on a journey from Newton's clockwork universe to Einstein's mind-bending revelations about the true nature of reality. Discover how a teenage thought experiment about riding alongside a beam of light would eventually overturn Newton's absolute time and space. Learn why the most precise measurements in history revealed that time isn't the steady cosmic river we imagined, but something far stranger-elastic, stretchable, and intimately woven into the fabric of space itself. In this captivating exploration, you'll uncover: How the longitude problem led to the most accurate clocks in history-and why they still couldn't measure "true" time The mysterious experiments that revealed light's impossible behavior and shook the foundations of physics Einstein's decade-long struggle to resolve contradictions that seemed to tear physics apart The revolutionary insights that showed time dilation isn't science fiction-it's the fundamental reality of our universe When Time Bends transforms complex physics into an engaging narrative that will forever change how you think about time, space, and the extraordinary universe we inhabit. Perfect for anyone curious about the nature of reality and the brilliant minds who dared to question everything we thought we knew. A masterful blend of history and science that makes Einstein's revolutionary discoveries accessible to everyone.
