Great book which I look forward to reading. I am fascinated by the world of physics, philosophy, and science in general. It seems obvious that the author is very knowledgeable on this topic as they were able to put this somewhat complex topic into something palatable for the layman. Many thanks to the author for this great peace on understanding science and the complexities of the universe.

“An Incomplete Theory” by Megan Henry brings a simplified approach to science that a layman can easily understand. It also mixes science with interesting story, and for someone like me that science seems ambiguous to, I know I will learn a lot from this book. Congratulations on BOTD.

Unfortunately, I will have to pass this book, because I have no interest or ability to understand quantum gravities and other exact scientific terms beyond the necessary school level. Still, it sounds useful for those interested in such theories, and so I congratulate the author on BOTD!

Hi @D Christina, I just read your comments on the official review of "An Incomplete Theory" and while I enjoyed science in school I liked history a lot more. Philosophy has been a mystery to me until I read Scott's book. I like the fact that Henry tried to simplify her book so that anyone could understand it. I found that I needed to read the sample to understand the official review. @mrlefty0706

Megan Henry's An Incomplete Theory is a thought-provoking blend of science, philosophy, and personal reflection. The book delves into the complex world of quantum gravity while maintaining an approachable narrative for readers, even those without a scientific background. Henry's passion for exploring the unknown shines through, making her insights both fascinating and relatable. The storytelling is grounded, with historical and philosophical references that deepen the exploration of humanity's quest for understanding. It’s not just a book about physics; it’s a reflection on how science connects to life itself. Engaging and inspiring, it’s perfect for curious readers seeking intellectual discovery.

"An Incomplete Theory" by Megan Henry stood out for its language and form especially, and secondly for the sheer amount of information compressed within its pages. The book is written in such a way that even laymen could very understand to a reasonable degree the concepts of history and sociology intertwined with the approaches to quantum gravity. Even without reading through the whole book, I have added it to my shelf, and indeed plan to finish it. It's a splendid read and a delightful experience. Thank you for the review.

Thank you for this detailed review. I'm particularly interested in how Henry discusses the development of ideas from Galileo and Newton to modern concepts like dark matter and gravitational waves. Your review shows how this book is both informative and thought-provoking,
