Einstein's Clocks and Poincare's Maps by Peter Galison
Only a century ago Europe had a huge number of local time zones and no proper system of synchronizing them, creating chaos for transport and communications. This study explores the stories of two men who revolutionized time as we know it: Henri Poincare and Albert Einstein.
Peter Galison was educated at Cambridge (MPhil in Philosophy of Science) and Harvard (BA, MA and PhD) universities. He has taught at Stanford Uiversity and is currently the Mallinckrodt Professor of History of Science and of Physics at Harvard.
