Book Review: The Perfect Theory by Pedro G. Ferreira

Posted on June 5, 2020April 10, 2022
Topics: Natural Sciences, Nonfiction

Rating: 5.0/10.

Book about Einstein’s theory of general relativity; I got bored after reading about 90 pages. Given that the author is a theoretical physics professor, I expected a more satisfying explanation of general relativity. Instead, this book is entirely about the history of general relativity, with descriptions of various scientists’ personalities. It overlaps substantially with “Losing the Nobel Prize”, but with a lot less science: not a single scientific diagram or equation.
