A very enjoyable book that dashes through the structure of our universe while trying all the time to explain how you get there by looking at simple everyday calculations.

I have read many similar books so not much new information but I really enjoyed the grounding of results into everyday measures. I would figure this book is perfect to convert skeptical conspiracists into some form of reason.

Excellent and exhaustive book entertainingly written. If you’re not good at maths I would avoid it. A lot of geometry and algebra, a little calculus.
