Einstein's theory was accepted as the true theory in 1915, but soon took a back seat to quantum mechanics. Not until the existence of black holes by Stephen Hawking in the 1960s, was the theory revived. This book tells the story of both events and the techniques employed by Einstein and relativists to construct, develop, and understand his theory.
