•Comment below your favourite science related book!•
I recently bought this book and I am looking forward to reading it. I didnt take physics past grade 10, but listening to with has definitely had an impact on my curiosity about the universe and the that makes up the universe.
So why this book over other books? For one, the title of it is honest about how much science really knows about the universe. Often times scientists are made out to be these people who have all the answers, yet in reality they know just as much as you and me. The only difference is they have made it a career to find out the answers of questions nobody xan answer.
It also resonated with me in the same manner when you hear the quote from Aristotle, "the more you know, the more you realise you don't know." Because the more you learn about the world, the more it should make you question what else you haven't learned, or rather than being content with the answer to one thing it should raise even more questions that you may not know.
The final reason for choosing it was because, as I was told once, looking at a random page my attention was brought to these nifty images which I assumed were there to help an explanation to a theory or concept to make it more tangible and visual. The creator of those images makes the webcomic and I thought it was a nice addition to such a book on so many heavy topics.
Here is to continuously learning!
