sarahjjs 's review for:
The Accidental Universe: The World You Thought You Knew
by Alan Lightman
I've been so unwell recently that I just stay in bed and listen to audio books all day in the dark :(. This is ok but it has some problems. If you have not done 2nd year chemistry and physics you are going to get lost, there is not enough time to explain to you in good detail any of the laws of physics or any of the foundations of wave functions. Despite it jumping straight into assumed knowledge the momentum slows down and he only makes safe arguments to end his conclusions. I think if he was going to assume that us readers are on board with him then he needed to give us better thoughts and pieces of arguments to chew. It's good revision on astrophysics, but you'd still find it a little redundant I think, it's such an awkward target audience.. you want to be in a good place with your general knowledge physics, chemistry and theoretical chemistry without having studied it properly to actually get anything new here. Probably pretty niche and cool for those people.
