The Fabric of the Cosmos: Space, Time and the Texture of Reality by Marianne Kerkhof, Brian Greene
draeprice's review against another edition
Great book! This is the best physics/cosmology book I've read. I recommend it for anyone who wants to know what is the big deal with the Higgs particle.

I love this author. I just wish I was smart enough to follow some of the concepts.

This book probably doesn't differ that much from most pop science books, but Greene's oversimplistic analogies annoy me lmao like just explaining the equations is less confusing imo

I admit that I skimmed a lot of the string theory parts because 1. I've read The Elegant Universe, 2. string theory isn't really my jam, and 3. I've accepted that I'm never going to be able to really understand string theory beyond what I already do. That aside, I found it an engaging, mostly well-articulated overview of modern physics/cosmology, and I particularly enjoyed the sections on entropy and the arrow of time.

The search for a final theory of physics occupied the latter part of Einstein's life. This book shows why it was worth it. The amount of questions we still have to answer is only rivaled by the beauty of what we already know.
