This book delves into Einstein's fascinating, although lesser-known, journey to Malaya in 1922 and 1923. During a trip to Japan at the end of 1922, Einstein and his wife Elsa stopped in Colombo and Singapore. On their return in January 1923, they stopped at Singapore, Malacca, Penang, and Colombo. Einstein's diary tells us about what he saw and the theories he was working on while in Malaya. He wrote, "Discovered a fly in my electricity ointment in the afternoon. A pity. True tropical heat" in Malacca (1923), and "Boats, houses, people, they all have style" in Penang (1923). From insightful interaction with the locals to the breath-taking tropical natural wonders that inspired him, this book unravels the lesser-known facets of Einstein's visit to the Malay Archipelago.
