Erin reviewed Existential Physics by Sabine Hossenfelder
Review of 'Existential Physics' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
The existential implications of physics and the weirdness of reality are some of my favorite things to learn about, so I looked forward to picking this up. Some of the topics here I’ve learned about before but it’s so hard for me to understand them that I appreciate hearing about them in a new way.
I don’t think her communication of these complex things was always successful, at least not for me. She also chose questions to answer that weren’t always interesting to me.
My favorite ideas discussed were the nature of time, the multiverse, and free will.
I thought she was wonderfully kind to folks who are religious or spiritual, giving them space here.
Hilariously, I did indeed think she was being “no fun” at points and then she acknowledged this.
