Summary
A delightful intellectual feast from the bestselling author of Seven Brief Lessons on Physics, The Order of Time, and Anaximander

One of the world’s most prominent physicists and fearless free spirit, Carlo Rovelli is also a masterful storyteller. His bestselling books have introduced millions of readers to the wonders of modern physics and his singular perspective on the cosmos. This new collection of essays reveals a curious intellect always on the move. Rovelli invites us on an accessible and enlightening voyage through science, literature, philosophy, and politics.

Written with his usual clarity and wit, this journey ranges widely across time and space: from Newton's alchemy to Einstein's mistakes, from Nabokov’s lepidopterology to Dante’s cosmology, from mind-altering psychedelic substances to the meaning of atheism, from the future of physics to the power of uncertainty. Charming, pithy, and elegant, this book is the perfect gateway to the universe of one of the most influential minds of our age.

The book is good but I did find it a bit hard to stay focused at times. While it doesn’t go over a physics topics in a “Learn and understand Physics” approach. It was hard to walk away with cemented knowledge from the read. Normally, I take a few things from books that I can remember and amazed me. In this case basically all I could say is: There is a significant correlation between physics and philosophy, couldn’t quote an example to save my life. My biggest takeaway was why the author doesn’t believe in god, it resonated with me but I do not believe this was a topic that was a core portion of the book… so, yeah.
