Fun and nerdy

Revisado: 04-25-25

I thought I knew a lot about sex and honestly didn’t expect much because it’s marketed as a self help book. And it is, but it’s actually scientific, honest, and helpful. I learned a lot and was engaged the whole time.

Scientific and engaging

Revisado: 03-28-23

This is a very well written summary of the common ideas people have when trying to apply physics to philosophy, or some of the conclusions scientists and non scientists reach when they come across ideas they don’t understand. It doesn’t delve too deep, it isn’t as comprehensive as it claims, but to be fair one book isn’t going to give you all the answers. As I expected, (I follow Hosenfelders YouTube channel), it goes more deeply into debunking ideas than in explaining scientific concepts (although there are many explanations that I had to go back and re-listen to in order to grasp), and a lot of the answers are “there’s no evidence”. I found this book fascinating because it gives the reasoning behind the debunking, instead of just saying “physics doesn’t support this.” In that way, I found this book very useful.
However, if you haven’t any interest in modern pseudoscience, and are instead reading this book to see what science has to say about god and the afterlife, or the meaning of life, you’ll be disappointed because that’s not the scope of this book.

Very good

Revisado: 01-23-23

Hawking was obviously an amazing scientist, and this book goes into too much detail for me to remember, but enough to give me some understanding. Scattered throughout the book is his tongue in cheek sense of humor, making it entertaining as well as informative. He strikes a good balance between science and science history. I found it slightly too rapid to follow at times, so I think I will revisit this book in the future.

It’s good

Revisado: 12-09-22

It’s a worthwhile read if you can get over the dry language and performance. It doesn’t have many personal stories, but presents a global overview. I liked it; it’s a good starting place for those who want to learn more about modern slavery.
