Reality Is Not What It Seems

Obviously, the public is interested in what the 10,000 researching physicists are doing: the image of a black hole, Higgs boson, etc. This book explains what physicists have been up to for the last 100 years and how our everyday understanding is being overturned as a result. To illustrate this, the author uses the history of physical thinking in antiquity and from modern times onwards. I highly enjoyed enjoyed reading the book and learned a great deal. It cured my anger about "emanzipatorische Wissenschaftskritik", which was just a "mutual admiration sub reddit" in my opinion.

For en strålende enkel og lesbar bok som forklarer det komplisere så jeg nesten forstår det, og det at jeg nesten forstår er poenget: Å forstå helt er umulig, men vi nærmer oss stadig helt til det dukker opp noe nytt som gjør det vi forstår enda litt mindre forståelig. Må leses av alle, og spesielt av folk som tror de vet.
