The Elegant Universe: Superstrings, Hidden Dimensions, and the Quest for the Ultimate Theory by Brian Greene
5.0
NonFiction2023 Book 2
To say that I understood half of this would be a lie, but wow was it fun trying to follow the strings (hi hi). This man knows how to write a science book. He is also well aware who his readers are - on several occasions he says to us that if we "skipped" a certain section here's a summary, or that it's ok not to get the following section on our first read. Thanks, that was a nice addition.
I will try and hunt down more of his books in the future... maybe next book the 1/2 understood will not be a lie ;)
Also, for some reason my brain was surprised by the fact that a black hole is a heavenly body. How? after so many years of reading and watching stuff about space.... why was that a surprise? How the hell did my brain think this was a revelation? I don't know, I'll think on that one some more...
