There is also another book which fits exactly, I think, what you are looking for its sober and academic without actually being academic in the 'textbook' sense moreover, it's not given to bursts of either undue optimism or pessimism (although it leans on the optimistic side) its called On Spacetime and is a book of essays edited by Shan Majid and features essays by Andrew Taylor on Dark energy and dark matter Penrose (on causality), Connes (on non-Commutative geometry) and Shann Majid on Quantum groups - moreover it has Polkinghorne and Heller discussing larger issues of metaphysics (which may or may not be to your taste - but they are ineteresting essays nonetheless) I recommend it highly. In many ways, it's my favourite too bad, more people do not know how to write well and with dash and panache it's short, but it packs a great deal of punch. Rickles, A Brief History of String Theory (although it is quite long)īoth of these are quite dense - as far as popular science goes - but they do not use any mathematics one that is quite mathematical, in that it actually has maths in it - but is still written for the lay mathematician is quite short, and has plenty of illustrations in it, is Sossinskys Knot Theory.
If you are looking for a more positive spin on the physics, try If you are looking for a books exploring similar territory to Sabine Hossenfelders book, you can try looking atĭavid Lindleys, The End of Physics: The Myth of a Unified Theory If you happen to have read classic book «Mathematics and the search for knowledge» by Morris Kline you, probably, understand what I mean. I would prefer some thing more strict, more structured, more academic, if you like (but not too academic for I am not a mathematician or theoretical physicist), about the same subject that is, as I would put it, elements of philosophical analysis of modern mathematics, its touch with reality and its relations with theoretical physics. Apart from that I have feeling that sometimes she jumps from one subject to another too freely and can't help but feel lost (I am not criticising, of course, merely describing my personal impression judging by rather high Amazon's rating a lot of people have different opinion). Hossenfelder's informal popular style of writing.
Having read about half of it, I have to admit that I am not a big fan of Mrs.
Recently, I came across this book « Lost in math» that aroused my interest.
