Not a fan of theoretical physics it seems. Was a fun read, get a bit of insight into what exactly Superstring Theory is. Basically posits that the entire universe is made up of infintesimally tiny strings that vibrate. Instead of 4 dimensions (X, Y, Z, and Time) there are many more that aren't observed because they exist in such a tiny space. I have to say I was NOT a fan of the analogies used throughout the book. I felt like they were extremely forced although that might just be due to the inherently complicated material being covered.

Quantum Mechanics and Relativity challenged our intuitive view of the world and forced us to look at things from an entirely new perspective. I did not feel the same way about String Theory. It feels far less tangible than even QM and there are few takeaways
