Review # 1 was written on 2017-11-17 00:00:00 Lindell Mcelfresh At first, this book is clear and very easy to follow, which was surprising considering I have no background knowledge concerning physics. Towards the end, the book became very theoretical and somewhat hard to follow do to less solid facts and more stipulation and strange diagrams. However, I do feel like I have a semi-grasp on these theories now, which is more than I can say for before I read this book. I did appreciate the brevity of the conversation, and I am sure I can make up for the small bits of confusion with seeking out more books about space/time.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-01-11 00:00:00 Anthony Bolden Read it! You'll like it!: This is my all time favorite popular book written by a real physicist. In my opinion, it's better than Hawking's "Brief History of Time" because it not only explains the pretty well known areas of physics (black holes and such), but goes beyond this into such abstract ideas as wormholes and several interesting ways that nature might just allow time travel. It plays with your imagination the whole way through.
