The Ascent of Gravity: The Quest to Understand the Force that Explains Everything by Marcus Chown

5.0

"Physicists scrawl arcane mathematical equations across blackboards but it is an enormous leap of faith to believe that nature really obeys these equations. It invariably comes at a massive shock when it turns out that nature really does."

Part biography, part physics lesson and part speculation about the future of this discipline.

As I knew the matters discussed in this book mostly superficially, it was really helpful for me, as it shows not only the conclusions but how they were reached. It also put things into perspective nicely.

Very recommended.
