Yes, the book was very funny and I think that Nemiroff has a great sense of humor. I also liked the Q and A format and the warnings when the book would deepdive into certain topics. But I found I did not glean a lot of understanding of the phenomena discussed. At two-thirds of the way through the book, I stopped reading to try to understand and learn and just continued reading for Nemiroff’s humor. Thank you to Netgalley and Robert Nemiroff for the digital review copy.

This book accomplishes the impossible, not only faster than light travel, but also making the most obscure scientific theories fun. The author’s classes must be popular, because he is hilarious. The book poses multiple choice questions to explain everything from General Relativity to Quantum Physics. The answers are so surprising, I must have gotten 3 right in the whole book, mostly because at first they make no sense. Once they are explained, though, everything is much clearer, even if many of the concepts were still very hard for me to completely understand. And that is where this book was not a total hit for me, I am not bright enough to grasp a big part of the concepts explained here. I’ve read a lot of books about physics and, yet, the science in these pages is not for people with limited scientific capacity such as me. I’d still recommend it because, even if you don’t understand everything, it is still worth exploring these fascinating concepts.
I chose to read this book and all opinions in this review are my own and completely unbiased. Thank you, #NetGalley/#Robert Nemiroff!
