Review of An Incomplete Theory

[Reva Parker]

Thank you for your informational review. I'm glad you enjoyed it and it was edited so well. I hope those who are interested in science and quantum gravity in particular will pick it up and learn a lot. Unfortunately, science isn't a subject I care to read about, so I'll pass.

[Leonie Vermaak]

This sounds interesting but not something that I would read. Im not fond of philosophy and science and the rest. I'm sure this would be a great read for those readers who enjoy books like these. Thanks for a detailed. Congrats on BOTD.

The author has an interesting approach to science, approaching it with also a philosophical and historical angle. There's also the personal testimonies giving it more depth. It makes me curious about why the new approach to gravity is needed.

[Loniya Chabili Mubanga]

This does not sound like a book I would read. I'm sure a topic about the theory of quantum gravity and how it correlates to philosophy and science is interesting to those interested in this field of study but I'll pass on reading this book. I'll recommend it to physics and philosophy scholars.

The author discusses Mach's principle, general relativity, and quantum mechanics in all aspects pertaining to physics, history, philosophy, and observation of the cosmos. She believes that new approaches to gravity are required, and she gives sufficient evidence to back her point. Readers who enjoy physics will love this introspection.

[Kaitlyn Canedy]

Quantum theory is very hard for me to understand normally, so I will pass on this one. But I think this would be an excellent book for those who love this subject and want to learn more in depth things about it. Thanks for the review!

Thank you for your insightful review of “An Incomplete Theory” by Megan Henry. It’s great to hear that the book effectively simplifies complex scientific concepts, making them accessible to a broader audience. The historical context and exploration of quantum gravity are indeed fascinating, highlighting the evolution of physics through time.

[Shri McGaley]

I agree with your review, I quite enjoyed learning more than I had before on the theories discussed, especially what the author explained about Foucault’s pendulum. The author explained things well in layman's terms while not "watering it down" so much it felt like a children's book. This book was very informative, the author demonstrated their great passion about physics, history, and philosophy by the way they wrote and the depth of thought put into this book. I also agree with you that those interested in physics would enjoy this book.

[Bethel Saint Bright]

Well, this seems like a book for philosophers and scientists. I'm actually hearing about quantum gravities for the first time. I guess I'll know more about it from this book.

[Abiodunakinola]

This book masterfully bridges the gap between science, philosophy, and history, offering readers an accessible yet profound exploration of quantum gravity. By combining technical insights with historical context and personal testimony, Henry makes complex concepts like Mach’s Principle and gravitational waves engaging and relatable. Nice review.

"An Incomplete Theory" by Megan Henry investigates how philosophy and science are related to the theory of quantum gravities. The book includes the historical background of physics from the ancient Greeks to the incompleteness of the theories in today’s world. Ernst Mach developed what Einstein coined as “Mach’s Principle” in the late 1800s and it concluded new approaches to gravity are needed. Einstein used Mach’s Principle in the early1900s as an inspiration to develop his general theory of relativity. Henry also discusses dark matter and gravitational waves. She tries to simplify the book language so that it is easy to understand by non-scientists like me. I have heard about the theories, but I do not know the details so I am adding this book to my to-read shelf.

Great insights, Singh Rakesh! I’d love to know more about what you found most compelling or unique about the book. Did the author’s approach to the subject resonate with you, or do you feel there were gaps that could’ve been explored further? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!"

The book has garnered positive reviews for its comprehensive and engaging approach. Rest of the reader's have praised its blend of science, philosophy, physics, and history, noting that it stimulates curiosity about the cosmos and other complex topics.

According to me "An Incomplete Theory" offers a captivating exploration of the quest for a unified theory of quantum gravity. Its combination of historical context, philosophical inquiry, and accessible prose makes it a valuable read for anyone interested in the deeper questions of the cosmos.

I like science, but I'm not a big fan of history or philosophy. However, the book sounds quite intriguing. I appreciate that even a layman can understand these deep and complex concepts because Megan has simplified them.
