Existential Physics: A Scientist's Guide to Life's Biggest Questions

The big questions of existence have long fascinated physicists, but it's often the case that they're less good at explaining why they matter. Theoretical physicist Sabine Hossenfelder sets out to change this, drawing on the latest research in quantum mechanics, black holes, string theory, and particle physics to shed new light on the nature of reality.

With counterintuitive insights and interviews with other leading scientists, this book offers a fresh perspective on the relationship between science and the human experience. It's a clear and profound exploration of the limits of what we can know, and why we should care about the answers.
