Review of 'When We Cease to Understand the World' on 'Goodreads'

Interesting tale of the stories behind recent breakthroughs in modern mathematics and physics, placing them in their social and historical context. Stories became increasingly bizarre, with a touch of the magical realism that many Latinoamerican authors love - and that, I must confess, I despise.

Also an intro to quantum mechanics (the most I can take and/or understand lol). Thus some nice food for thought over the classic question of: does the universe behave following certain physical and mathematical patterns or are we creating them in order to make sense of reality?

TL;DR: as we say in Spanish, sin más.
