A review by soroushtorkian
Astrophysics for People in a Hurry by Neil deGrasse Tyson

4.0

The universe is under no obligation to make sense to you. -NDT

Great listen on audiobook. I discovered a few new things about subatomic particles that I didn't know before. Also celestial bodies with the densest masses tend to be the most "perfect" spheres, which NDT neatly tied in with the bible as to why that is:

Every valley shall be raised up, every mountain and hill made low; the rough ground shall become level, the rugged places a plain” (Isaiah 40:4).

Other than thew few technical terminology here and there, most of the book was digestible for those who haven't studied astrophysics or science in general.
