“This book impressively summarizes in simple words, for any curious mind, a history of physics up to its current and widest challenges. Any reader interested in the foundations of physics will particularly enjoy the second part, where the author shakes some of the great theoretical temptations that may have plagued physics lately. Sidharth's plea against the totalitarian trend, even in physics, might be sketched as follows: reductionism must reach its ultimate goal by totally reducing itself, renormalization by renormalizing itself and superstring theory by strangling itself in order to open an era for physics more open and tolerant to new ideas, especially when those bring paths towards possible experimental refutation.”

“It may as well be included in the suggested reading list of the higher degree students carrying out research in natural philosophy … the author's descriptions of various theses, anti-theses and syntheses, relating to both terrestrial and celestial objects, provide useful perspectives for analyzing the variable relationships in both physics and astronomy.”
