This sounds like The Time and Space of Uncle Albert, except the protagonist is a girl called Gedanken - https://www.amazon.com/Time-Space-Uncle-Albert/dp/0571226159
Another one from me, I'm afraid.
I read a book when I was younger- probably mid-late 90s. I'm not sure when it was published.
There was a young boy who visited his grandfather, and whenever he visited, they talked about physics. They may or may not have travelled into experiments, but they definitely performed them. I think (but I may be getting mixed up) that one of the chapters involved the pair sitting on a train, and the boy wasn't sure whether it was the train he was on that was moving or the one at the next platform.
The grandfather may or may not have actually been his uncle. I think his name began with an A.
The paperback cover of the book had a very detailed illustration of the boy and his grandfather, and the title of the book was encased in a blue box (a very similar blue to the 'submit' box right here on TV Tropes)
This is all I remember, I'm afraid. But I'd really like to read it with my son when he gets older if I can find it.
