I greatly enjoyed reading this book! The author’s curiosity and wonder about the universe shines through and makes you excited. A great mix of enough technical explanation for someone with a science/engineering background, but very accessible and readable.
There’s so much we don’t know about the universe!! Excited for what future scientists will uncover
Finally, I believe a couple of unsolved measurement anomalies the author mentions in chapter 10 are now largely resolved: the muon magnetic dipole moment and the mass of the W boson are, alas, consistent with the standard model
