Why Does E=mc²? by Brian Cox
5.0
Omg I had no idea how shallow my understanding of relativity was!! Eye opening & exciting read. A bit difficult to follow at times and I still have a few technical questions that I'll need to look-up myself, but I still learned a lot!
While the progress we've made is astounding, I can't help but feel a bit of despair at the thought of how this progress was achieved sometimes (see the Minkowski spacetime "why not try Pythagora's theorem with a minus sign???") and all the "forced" assumptions we've made when shaping our theories (e.g. the demands of causality when shaping up the spacetime "rules")
Definitely recommend it!
