Excellent well done

Excellent and well executed. We need more books explaining things in simple terms as well as famous extraordinary people and their lives.

Great Listen!

Want to make Science History fun? Invite Paul Rudd.
already a fan of Brian Greene's work as it makes complicated theories more relatable to the public, but the inclusion of Marvel's Ant-Man made it all the more enjoyable.
Hope there's more!

💎 immersive and scientifically credible story

Hidden gem. ✅ scientifically accuracy ✅ engaging storytelling ✅professional audio production

The author is a physicist with significant scientific theories of his own (google it yourself to judge). Don't sleep on this book introducing you to a universal theory about the physical world we live in as understood by a credible theoretical physicist who treats this subject as a lifelong mission.

Theatrically entertaining enough to listen on repeat! Immersive! i can still picture some of the scenes.

A bit too dramatic?

I am not a physicist, so was looking for something that would be an explainer of the work of Einstein. It is that, and part biography, but I felt this was more performative, creating drama where non really existed.

Also, the background music was instrusive, and at times I would find I would miss words.

Mind-blowing #Audible1

Great popularized explanation of latest developments and speculation in Cosmology. Simple to follow without over-simplification. Great metaphors to help explain concepts.
