4,5 stars.

This was fantastic. With everything from Ancient Greece to quantum gravity, it was quite a fun journey. It exceeded all my expectations, and I definitely think that more people should read this. My only issue was the fact that it became a bit confusing and unclear towards the second half of the book. It was fine enough to understand after a while, but it wasn’t explained “easily” enough, as it should been, with him saying that this is both marketed at those who know more about physics and those who are new to the subject.

Carlo Rovelli makes me wish I was good enough at maths to pursue Loop Quantum Gravity because god damn, it's astounding. The way he explains a lot of concepts in physics, particularly Quantum Mechanics, which in pop culture is regularly butchered, is excellent. He writes with clarity and enthusiasm.

It was so annoying to read. Lots of irrelevant information and a poor job in explaining the little information contained.

One of the best explanations of quantum physics I've read. Just sublimely good. Not a simplistic explanation, or a dumbed-down narrative, but a great book overall - with the right "challenging read" aspect to it. And a rewarding read, too.

There are so few books on the topic that are also written from such an informed scientific perspective. Those interested in the nature of our reality from either a scientific or spiritual perspective will not be disappointed with Rovelli’s style or concepts - highly recommend.
