This book is one of a kind! I seldom knew that a book can bring tears. Starting with Shiva and ending with instances from Mahabharata and attuning the Vedic hymns, from describing his own work on time from quantum gravity to string theory and thermodynamics, and multiple mind-boggling facets of it, this author is one in the world! He just took me. It's rare, and worth every bit of time. Never before, at least from what I have known, have these extremely complex Physical equations been put through the English language in the most precise way possible. Physics always needs equations to express points of view and perspectives. But the poetic essence that is brought in by Carlo may make you fall in love with Physics!
