How to teach #relativity to your #dog.

quantum physics or pure joy??

There is a new book published with the title “HOW TO #TEACH #RELATIVITY TO YOUR #DOG,” by Chad Orazel and his dog Emmy. 
         According to the reviewer in Science News, the conversations between man and dog do illuminate the often difficult-to-understand world of relativity.   The reviewer noted, “… the somewhat kooky concept works well for explaining a field of physics that can sound, well, kooky to the uninitiated.  Emmy is a stand-in for every-man (or every dog)…”
         But how well does the dog understand quantum physics?
     “When a dog wants to hang out the “Do Not Disturb” sign, as all of us do now and then, he is regarded as a traitor to his species.”  Ramona C. Albert
