Maybe if its edited better. E.g. footnote footnote footnote . I like what Bojowald is trying to say its just lifeless and needs an editor badly

I'm looking. There's not enough good books in this category

he did a great job in bad science. This was unacceptable

those with any type of ADD/ADHD need not attempt unless you want to constantly hit the replay button.

eye opening how irresponsible the media is when publishing a story

yes. andrew wakefield should be held accountable for the damage he has caused.
the rest of the mail order quacks should be publicly ridiculed for their nonsense. I'm talking about you Chopra

I'm extremely picky about which audio books I download so they are all really good or I return them. This one stands apart. I could easily rank it in my top 5

Richard Lenski's experiment

The timbre of his voice and the refinement of the performance is "like wiping your ass with silk"

only an intelligent friend that enjoys both history and science

I liked the timeline of timekeeping and it's effects on society

honestly I think Adam frank did a better job explaining time that Sean Carroll did in his book. The two books are very different though

yes. it's a great book. It is a tad brief but still enjoyable

my 3 word summary: people believe that?

It was eye opening. I had no idea how far people's marbles were rolling.

I laughed a lot

follow his blog at discovermagazine

without hesitation. It allows the reader to look at different beliefs/superstitions from the outside

the tone and pacing of the book were just right. I listened to it with my 7 year old

yes

bayesian statistical predictions.

I am being forced to write additional words to meet a 15 word minimum even though I was asked to sum up the book in 3 words

just read it. it's fun for all ages!

yes.

I think the title is dumb. This is one of the only up to date particle physics audio book. It is very good.

First of all, the graphics must be included to support his analogies. Second, I don't understand why so much time was put into describing what something is not. The tone of the book can be misinterpreted by those with an agenda. He uses the term "fine-tuned" far too much and in a misguided way. I have been looking for a book with good thought experiments as engaging as Einstein's were but the ones in the book did not connect with me.
I was disappointed since "The Particle at the End of the Universe: How the Hunt for the Higgs Boson Leads Us to the Edge of a New World" is a great book. The flow of the two books couldn't be more different.
This book felt like John Kerry explaining entropy to me.
I highly recommend Sean Carroll's other books

"A Universe from Nothing: Why There Is Something Rather Than Nothing" It's similar but is far more confident and explains the concepts in a simpler manner.
