Importantly, such a book is “not physical”—Einstein’s computations are far too big to fit in a physical book. If you respond that this is just a thought experiment, well, the point is we have to stick to physics if we are to be reductionists. Sticking to physics actually eliminates a lot of counterintuitive thought experiments.
