![]() ![]() It is undeniable that modern physics has become extremely weird, with attempts to explain things like quantum physics, general relativity and the standard model of particle physics leading to even weirder hypotheses. ![]() They settled on reading Hossenfelder’s Existential Physics as their next book, and since they didn’t have a physicist in the group, Mark asked if I was interested in joining them? I was, because the book club sounded fun, and I’m also Twitter friends with Sabine and was quite confident that the book would be an interesting read! So in discussing the book, I can not only talk about my reactions as a physicist, but also the reactions of colleagues in theater, linguistics, software and information systems. My friend Mark at my university that I’ve known since I became a professor some 15 years ago has been running a book club with colleagues from a number of departments. I read this book recently due to somewhat curious circumstances. ![]()
