Thank you for your review. The author writes a fantastic way of story-telling by going back in time to the early philosophers and comparing modern-day thinkers on the basic theories of science. This would be a great book for students and others interested in this topic. Congrats to the author on the #BOTD.

The best thing about this book, without a doubt, is that it doesn't feel like reading a complicated manual. Henry mixes science with personal stories and anecdotes that make it super enjoyable. It's as if you were talking to someone passionate, who loves what they do and explains it in a way that infects you with their curiosity.

This science-philosophy-oriented book is a gem for readers who enjoy theory and intangible concepts. Don't expect too much on the 'real-life application' side though. If this is you, give it a read!
I write the best reviews possible. :idea2:

This book offers an engaging exploration of quantum gravity, combining science, history, and philosophy. I find the focus on Mach's Principle and simplifying complex theories for readers particularly intriguing. Congrats on BOTD!

I love this review. You did a great job breaking this book down for those of us to whom "Quantum" may as well be a language we've never heard. Well, maybe that's just me, haha, as science in general is not my cup of tea. You did make it sound as if the average person can read this book and maybe even understand it.

Seems interesting. The way it describes the concepts of science in a philosophical way. It also includes the theories of great scientists to prove its relativity. I also liked the part where author describes the theories in an easy way so that anyone can understand.

An interesting blend of history, philosophy, and physics. I thank the author for putting all three distinct genres in a single book with simple terms. I always love a good science book that, apart from building facts, provides the philosophy behind it. Throw in the history of the concepts, it only shows the storytelling prowess of the author. Your well-written review brings the best aspects of the book out. Congratulations to the author on BOTD.

Thank you so much for your review. It was very informative. I generally do not take a second look at books of this nature because I typically do not read nonfiction, especially books that focus on scientific theories. However, after your review and the statement regarding the book being written in layman's terms, I am going to take a second look to see if this is a book I would put on my reading list. Very good review.

I love the approach that the book takes. It combines a philosophical and scientific approach to develop a theory of quantum gravity. This unique way is sure to grab many readers attention.

This book under discussion offers this kind of quest not only from the perspective of science but in a more general philosophical search into the nature of the cosmos.
There were aspects of the book I liked, and one particular is that it presents scientific content in a simple language that a layman can understand.
- We're only using 20%-30% of our mind. The cosmos in our mind represent the cosmos in outer space. So when we master the mind, we can master outer space cosmos. This gets easy when we have "scientific content in a simple language that a layman can understand". Thank you for this insightful information.

I did not think this book was for someone like me who's not a huge fan of science but to find out the author breaks down the logic in layman terms is comforting. I'm going to give this book a chance. Congrats to the author for having the BOTD.

I had a lot of ingrained beliefs about what a "healthy" relationship should look like, many of which were based on societal expectations and romanticized portrayals in media. Henry's work challenged these assumptions and encouraged me to develop a more realistic and nuanced understanding of love.
