The Institute of Physics and Rambert Dance Company are planning to celebrate the theories of Einstein through dance.
This issue takes you on a mathematical journey from the the world of art all the way to the eighth dimension. And you can pick up some handy skills along the way - how to win at the races, watch your averages and how to run and hide at the same time.
One hundred years ago, in 1905, Albert Einstein changed physics forever with his special theory of relativity. Since then his name — and hair do — have become synonymous with genius. John D Barrow looks at Einstein as a media star.
Over the last few years the words string theory have nudged their way into public consciousness. It's a theory of everything in which everything's made of strings — or something like that.

Hardeep Aiden sets out to persuade readers that they too can understand an idea as elegantly simple as it was original.
