Roger Highfield: "But while exploring this, Einstein discovered a
bizarre effect: moving clocks tick more slowly than those at rest.
Once he had found this link between time and motion, he was able to
fuse time with three-dimensional space to envisage a four-dimensional
"spacetime", an idea physicists now use routinely. Extending his work
in his theory of general relativity, Einstein revealed that the
greater the gravitational pull, the more slowly a clock will tick.
This led into some very strange areas. Time travel became possible
when Einstein's colleague Kurt Gödel showed that under general
relativity, you can, if you bend spacetime enough, create a loop and
end up before where you started."

Roger Highfield: "Einstein may have started the rot. When experiment
dominated physics, his work was driven by aesthetic concerns. He
sought beauty (notably symmetry) in mathematical haiku that capture
something complex, transcendental and profound."
