Roger Penrose

I managed to understand (mostly) approximately the first half of the book, but couldn't keep up when Penrose dipped into conformal space-time diagrams. I really liked the opening discussion on entropy and the explanation that early entropy was very special. In a sense the entropy was very low, which is why it can keep increasing, but also that as the universe was very hot at first that the entropy was as high as it could be. Only recommended for students of general relativity and cosmology!

A giant book of physics, which might have been revealing if I had spent a great deal of time with it.

I am very intrigued by physicist attempts to explain the fundamental structures of time and space, but unfortunately in this case, I feel compelled to give up. I think I need someone to explain Roger’s thinking for me to gain much from it. There is a reliance on formulas and jargon that become increasingly confusing as I proceed, and I simply feel that it could be mind blowing if only I could make sense of it. Oh well! There are many other physics writers to try.

Tough going - but great where i know at least something about what he is describing.
Reality - revealed - not yet. Despite my degree in physics, much lays tantalising beyond me.
