A review by saluki
Who Built the Moon? by Christopher Knight
2.0
Cited as "Thought Provoking" by the Daily Mail and certainly it is, but not in the way I expected.
Located in the Popular Science section of the bookstore ... and I'm not sure it sits well there after reading it. Sure, there are a lot of scientific facts and mathematical data to explain Knight's theories, yet all those figures fried my brain. It's not something I would research to check for accuracy, or even something I would understand if I tried. Maths was my most hated subject at school! (Now if I had a teacher like Christopher Boone from The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-Time I might, just might, have learned more on that subject).
I'm still unsure what my feelings are about this book. Part intrigued, part mystified, and still none the wiser. If time traveling humans are one of the conclusions then surely that is not possible, or more to point ... Why hasn't there been evidence of time travel through the ages already. Surely time travel should encompass 'all' of time?
Heck, I'm still scratching my head over that alone.
Karen's review sums this book up better than I ever could! Such fun to read I was truly tickled pink.
