Alan Lightman can write. The man just knows how to turn a scientific phrase. The book is a collection of essays on all the hot topics of "big physics" so I did not necessary learn anything new here but I sure did enjoy Lightman's style. This is one of those books that makes me feel bad for people who do not take the time or simply refuse to understand what's going on in the world scientifically. Go ahead, read Lightman and tell me that science is not THE shit. I dare you.
