How to Make an Apple Pie from Scratch (Audiobook)

My Review

Man was this a cool book—and insanely challenging to follow at times. This starts with a history of modern day physics, atomic structure, and the theories that were created and disproved or evolved into what physicists now know. Mankind has taken huge strides in our understanding of the universe and how it and all matter was formed, but we still know so little—and we may never truly know.

This was a heavy topic for simple, light-hearted walks with the dog. I followed easily for the first half of the book, but once Cliff dived into the sub-atomic quantum elements, it became much, much harder. And even then my brain only registered and logged a few nuggets. I'm not even going to try to show an example of what I learned. There's simply too much and it's too much for my feeble brain to regurgitate.

Nonetheless, even with my rudimenary ability to understand the insanely complex, and often still theoretical, physics and structure of quantum elements, I still found this book immensely fascinating.
