Reality is not what it seems

Reality Is Not What It Seems: The Journey to Quantum Gravity 
by Carlo Rovelli, translated by Simon Carnell and Erica Segre
Published: January 2017

So much has happened in the world of physics since I was in school! Rovelli presents an easily accessible summary of the current state of theoretical physics. From Ancient Greek philosophers through the remarkable advances of the 20th century up through more recent theories of Quantum loops and thermal time.

5 out of 5 stars: If you're at all interested in immersing yourself in how much (and how little) we actually know about the universe, I sincerely can't recommend this enough.
