Publisher Description
Max Tegmark leads us on an astonishing journey through past, present, and future, and through the physics, astronomy, and mathematics that are the foundation of his work, most particularly his hypothesis that our physical reality is a mathematical structure and his theory of the ultimate multiverse. In a dazzling combination of both popular and groundbreaking science, he not only helps us grasp his often mind-boggling theories, but he also shares with us some of the often surprising triumphs and disappointments that have shaped his life as a scientist. Fascinating from first to last - here is a book for the full science-reading spectrum.
Max Tegmark is author or co-author of more than 200 technical papers, twelve of which have been cited more than 500 times. He has featured in dozens of science documentaries, and his work with the SDSS collaboration on galaxy clustering shared the first prize in Science magazine's "Breakthrough of the Year: 2003". He holds a Ph.D from the University of California, Berkeley, and is a physics professor at MIT.
Customer Reviews
Not for me
I started this book because Pewdiepie recommended it in one of his Book Review videos and I wanted to read some non-fiction book but it has felt like homework reading this.
There are some parts that I found interesting, specially the “Physics history” ones or the less technical ones. But most of the book was just too complicated for someone who stopped studying Physics years ago like me.
I have seen that this book has great reviews by other people so I can imagine that if you already had an interest in Physics and Mathematics, this book can be really interesting but if that’s not the case, you should avoid it.
