English While reading a collection of articles written by the Italian physicist and popularizer of science Carlo Rovelli, because of some references to black holes, the theory of general relativity, and egregious mistakes made by eminent scientists in the course of their research, I was reminded of the biography of Albert Einstein written by biographer Walter Isaacson in 2007. I had started reading Einstein's biography a decade ago, but for some reason, mainly because of other books that had caught my attention, I had not finished reading it: I had stopped at the years between the discovery of the theory of special relativity (1905) and that of the general theory of relativity (1915).
