Matter of Everything Twelve Experiments That Changed Our World

Such a brilliant account of every curiosity led experiment that led us to discovering everything we know about particles, matter and energy. I've struggled to understand why so many of us don't enjoy physics as much as other sciences, but listening to this book made me realise that it's because of the lack of visualisation.

I see biology in plants, I see chemistry in baking soda, but physics seemed very abstract. Visualising all the groundbreaking revelations starting from simple experiments helped understand the simplicity in the thinking behind the complex findings. I'd recommend this for anyone who is curious about the world and how we got here. As Carl Sagan said, “We are a way for the cosmos, to know itself”.
