Cathy Smith | 1 comments Hi Everyone,

I am reading this book. I am about 2/3 through and really like it. I've never taken Physics and haven't had Math since college Calculus. But I am tracking the concepts and have learned a lot of very significant Physics so far. I would love to communicate with anyone else in our Book Group who is reading this book. And in fact, I will write more when I've finished the book, (also when I'm at a proper keyboard instead of the iPad I'm using now).

Maitrey | 7 comments I'm almost done with the book, and thoroughly enjoying it so far.

However, while I really appreciate the fact that the authors have written this book keeping in mind people with a non-science/physics background, I found some of the statements and paragraphs to be very, very repetitive. A few more figures would probably have helped too.

But kudos to the authors who have given me such a refreshing outlook at topics such as relativity and spacetime. I hope they finish strongly.
