Six Easy Pieces - Essentials of Physics Explained by Its Most Brilliant Teacher

I really enjoyed the book, simply because it wasn’t explained so beautifully. The book begins by emphasizing that Physics is one of the most inaccurate sciences, with much of it based on assumptions, and there’s always the possibility that what you believe in today could be disproved tomorrow.

It makes you appreciate things around you differently and fosters an open mind toward many new discoveries and technologies. The author explains the fundamentals beautifully, starting with atoms and their influence on everything around us. He then explores quantum mechanics and how the study of atoms has revolutionized the rules of physics. Then, he delves into gravitational forces and energy conversion before returning to quantum theory. The book highlights how Physics is present in everything, including chemistry, biology, astronomy, psychology, and more. Science is wonderful, and human beings’ curiosity to know and discover more is what keeps us progressing. It’s crucial not to accept things as they are and to question why they are the way they are, and if that’s how they should be.

The Code Breaker

Biographies from Walter Isaacson are well researched and well written. I liked Steve Jobs and Albert Einstein and so when I saw he had written another one, I decided to buy it. He always made it sound like they were the sole responsible behind the technological revolution. However in Code Breaker, a lot of characters are introduced. It is a field the continuously evolving and so complex, that it makes sense that you cannot talk about the contribution of just one person, without mentioning the others. It is well researched book and the complex information is explained very well. There is so much suffering that can be alleviated through gene editing, but also so much that can go wrong through misuse. The book leaves you both excited and scared.
