Lost in Math: How Beauty Leads Physics Astray by Sabine Hossenfelder
3.0
Contrary to what I prepared myself for, it's not a tough read at all. I finished in a day.
I caught off guard when I realized this book was about physics, not math. Then I told my friend while we were chatting. He asked me "physics is math, no?". I thought he had a good point. But then I read from the book "physics isn't math. It's choosing the right math". I smiled and sent him the answer to his question.
This book is from a self-aware physicist about the struggles of physics in making the next breakthrough.
I love it.
