Review # 1 was written on 2013-12-04 00:00:00 Albert Regalado I understood the first two-fifths of the book (hence two out of five stars), but completely lost him from that point forward. I suppose I grasp the cosmos and quantum theories much better than I do elevated theoretical mathematical concepts. No matter, wanting to know this stuff is almost as joyous an experience as knowing this stuff. One day it'll stick. The author does a poor job, I have to say, of successfully explaining anything to an uninitiated layman. He explained statistics in a much more teacherly manner in his 200% book. My mind expanded anyway and I enjoyed. Not recommended for non-dorks.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-08-26 00:00:00 Indika Jayasinghe High level survey of some interesting topics on the edge of math and science. best chapters were the ones on Goedel and on Quantum measurements. Accessible read despite some very complex ideas. So much we do not understand.
