dianemagnin 's review for:
The Greatest Story Ever Told—So Far: Why Are We Here?
by Lawrence M. Krauss
This was amazing and beautiful I am holding back tears.
I've had the privilege of attending one of Professor Krauss' lectures on particle physics in person for the occasion of this book's launch. He's a fabulous orator so I greatly recommend this book as an audiobook.
This was an interesting discussion on the millennia of science and thought processes that have led from the philosophy of Plato's cave, to the new theoretical physic's research in dark energy and the start/end of our universe. Simple enough for a non-physic's major and detailed enough to keep a science nerd hooked and awed.
Because of this book, I'm going to email my university tutor tomorrow about the possibility of doing a master's in a subject that will bring me closer to the physics and technology described in this book, so that I may live every day in the tearful wonder that I experienced reading this.
Science is awesome.
Disclaimer: I'm a computer science/engineering student so can't judge how understandable this book will be to none-scientist. I would say quite a lot, as Prof. Krauss draws great analogies, but I wouldn't know.
