Spanish researcher in gravity and physics Roberto Emparan will participate in the Hay Festival Arequipa. He notes that Einstein did not understand everything that his own theory implies.

“Ocurre a mil millones de años luz de la Tierra. Los protagonistas son una pareja de agujeros negros que danza en círculo hasta fusionarse en uno solo. El escenario, un espacio vacío pero elástico".

This sentence is part of the book by the Spanish physicist Roberto Emparan who addresses, with a careful and pleasant style, the mysteries of the universe that we have not yet understood.

Emparan, researcher of the Science Cosmos Institute of the University of Barcelona, didn't write a physics book for physicists. “There are students, professionals from other areas, curious people who find new discoveries about space and time interesting. The book is for those people”, says to the official newspaper El Peruano.

The book takes as its axis the life and work of Albert Einstein. "A genius, although he did not understand everything that his theory implied," explains the Spanish. "For example, he did not understand that his equations predicted the expansion of the universe."
