penlly's review against another edition
5.0
I read this book because of my interest in physics and because I take physics for A level. So, here's my outlook on the book from a students perspective.
It brilliantly introduces the reader to fascinating new concepts such as entanglement, quantum schizophrenia and of course, the theory of relativity (I am a student and these topics were all new to me). Despite these topics being extremely difficult to explain, Chown meticulously uses examples and metaphors to aid the reader in their understanding, relating the worlds of the very very small and the very very large to the everyday world.
There are familiar concepts for A level physics students to cling on to, such as wave particle duality, the nature of light, emission and absorption and the make up of atoms. Here, Chown delves into the details of how such phenomena were founded and who helped find these pillars of physics- interesting stuff, and definitely worth the read to further your A level physics knowledge.
Before reading this book I was interested in physics, especially astronomy, something that has captivated me since I was a child. After reading this book however, I feel like every field of physics is a treasure trove.
There were some passages you have to just accept on face value without satisfying explanations, but that's because this book deals with quantum theory and relativity at the most basic of levels. However this actually inspired me to want to learn more in the future.
A great read!
