Mathematical equations cannot survive without an accompanying explanation in natural language, here does not need to fill pages with mathematical equations that often lack these explanations from the author, and thus become difficult to interpret.<br /><br />This book is one of the best introductions to understand what humanity currently understands about the functioning of our universe. <br/><br/> <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/103091881-louis">View all my reviews</a>
