Book Summary: The Perfect Theory by Pedro G. Ferreira

Posted on June 5, 2020January 18, 2024
Topics: Natural Sciences

Rating: 5.0/10.

Book about Einstein’s theory of general relativity; I got bored after reading about 90 pages. Given that the author is a theoretical physics professor, I expected a more satisfying explanation of general relativity. Instead, this book is entirely about the history of general relativity, with descriptions of various scientists’ personalities. It overlaps substantially with “Losing the Nobel Prize”, but with a lot less science: not a single scientific diagram or equation.
