This is the second book that describes the scientific processes of eccentric Uncle Albert as he and Gedanken, his 13 year old niece, explore the mysteries of time and space. This time they elaborate on the General Theory of Relativity, enter the world of the thought bubble and explore the land of the short-sighted beetles and their horrible professor. Join Dick the talking computer in an investigation of the Moon and the stars. Go for a space walk and marvel at the mysteries of the universe. This fantasy story manages to describe scientific theories in an entertaining manner. This book is designed as a companion volume to "The Time and Space of Uncle Albert" and introduces children to the theory of time and space that was Einstein's General Theory of Relativivty.
