I'm excited for the rest of the book.
I read A Brief History of Time which was good but I think this book has more potential for reaching out to the average reader because it is so accessible.
Just finished it. The warping of spacetime and explanation of gravity by Einstein's general theory of relativity is prob the coolest thing ive ever heard.

Yo, definitely loved Heart of Darkness. Even more so after looking up its author and period written. Its an impressive piece of prose.

To the person who posted the Prince, I read that for a project last year and thought it was a very interesting read. Always wondered what Machiavelli's motivations really were

I figured the tone and style would be something youd like. Glad you enjoyed it.
