Roger Penrose, one of the most accomplished scientists of our time, presents the only comprehensive and comprehensible account of the physics of the universe. From the very first attempts by the Greeks to grapple with the complexities of our known world to the latest application of infinity in physics, The Road to Reality carefully explores the movement of the smallest atomic particles and reaches into the vastness of intergalactic space. Here, Penrose examines the mathematical foundations of the physical universe, exposing the underlying beauty of physics and giving us one the most important works in modern science writing.

This book is way above my head. I'm gonna shelve it for a while and probably be back to it after some more readings in math. It is certainly not a layman's book, especially if you want to really understand the implications of Penrose's ideas. I have an engineering degree, and yet, from the second ch...
