Lost in Math: How Beauty Leads Physics Astray by Sabine Hossenfelder

5.0

Like Sabine writes and tries to address, physics has worked itself into a state where all our experiments result in null result after another, and our cutting edge theories are mere speculations of science fiction. The way she approaches this problem, trying to figure out how we got here, what we can do to fix it, and whether what we’re doing is justified in the first place, is wonderful. This is an excellent popular work on the cusp of physics and philosophy, but it comes with a little requirement of some understanding of theoretical physics. Recommended reading for scientists or scientists-to-be.
