Summary
Science fiction has imagined some pretty wild ideas about how the universe could work - from hidden extra dimensions in Interstellar to life as a mental projection in The Matrix. But these imaginings seem downright tame compared to the mind-bending science now coming out of physics and astronomy, and in this audiobook, we look at the strange and fascinating discoveries shaping (and reshaping) the field today.

Excellent
In my own humble opinion the thoughts and theories of the participants of this particular collection depict the conduit of entanglement, that classical anomaly directed by quantum physics into the holistic via the superposition of the meta-phisical thought. "I Cogitor Ergo Sum" I am thought therefore I am. The holistic rules......

Intriguing
If you are looking at these reviews because you’re interested in the mind bending concepts around black holes and the crazy implications of that grey area where physics and philosophy find themselves reluctantly forced into a dialogue, then you should be more than satisfied with the content if this book.
Ably read by a competent narrator, this is a fascinating listen for the lay physicist or quantum-curious casual like myself.
It’s a collection of Scientific American Magazine articles, culled from the cutting edge of physics, from technology and applications to astrophysical discovery, even taking us into the realm of quantum physical revelations in neuroscience, whilst also delving into some of the speculation, debates and unusual methods being used in quantum cosmology and theoretical physics to solve some of the hardest questions in science.
The charm of these collections is that there’s something for everyone in them. So if the topic you’re listening to isn’t what you had hoped for, as with the British weather, you need only wait a few minutes and it will all change to something completely different. These are skilled journalists, practiced in the art of communicating tricky concepts to a broader audience, which they do with a degree of charm as well as clarity. More importantly, having the constraint of brevity to deal with, each of the topics is covered with simple explanations, thought experiments and helpful explanations, making it accessible to people like me, with no scientific background to speak of.
Well worth your money, or spending your Audible Point currency on. And you’ll definitely come away from it with new knowledge, even if you’re a physicist, so broad is the range of applications we’re exposed to.
