Ziggy and Iggy Meet Albert Einstein

Ziggy has a mysterious wrist device, a talking iguana named Iggy, and more questions about science than anyone can possibly answer. When one question sends the two friends racing back to Switzerland in 1905, they find a young Albert Einstein working in a patent office and thinking about something far stranger than inventions. What would happen if someone could chase a beam of light? Can two people see the same event and disagree about when it happened? And could time itself actually change?

Soon Ziggy and Iggy are riding trams, imagining lightning strikes, building light clocks, racing through incredible thought experiments, and discovering why motion can change the way distance and time are measured. Einstein leads them into a world where light refuses to behave like ordinary objects, fast travelers can experience time differently, and a simple-looking equation reveals an astonishing connection between matter and energy. Ziggy is fascinated. Iggy is increasingly concerned that Ziggy will decide to test every idea personally.

Packed with humor, adventure, surprising science, and one very skeptical iguana, their journey turns some of the biggest ideas in physics into discoveries they can see, question, and experience. Ziggy soon learns that revolutionary science can begin with something as simple as asking a strange question and refusing to stop thinking about the answer. But after discovering just how strange time can become, will he ever look at a clock the same way again?
