Hossenfelder may popularise science but she doesn't dumb it down...
she stands between us and total incomprehension... That's my kind
of science writer
*Daily Mail*
Hossenfelder is a unique writing talent and a unique science
popularizer. You will come away from this book enriched, and will
think about the world differently than you did before.
*Lawrence Krauss, theoretical physicist and bestselling author*
It is hard not to enjoy the bold and easy spirit with which
Hossenfelder begins her book... informative and engaging
*Times Literary Supplement*
[Existential Physics] takes you on a thought provoking, tantalising
and illuminating journey. It clearly delineates what physics can
tell us about ourselves and the universe we inhabit, and thus what
it cannot.
*Physics Education*
Hossenfelder rightly believes that a better understanding of the
limitations of science will benefit society. This comes across loud
and clear in her book, which I found fun to read and really made me
think about the scientific method and the big questions in life
*Physics World*
If I had six stars to give this book, I'd do it... Highly
recommended'
*Popular Science (5* review)*
