#BookReview for "Lost in Math: How Beauty Leads Physics Astray" by Sabine Hossenfelder
Meh
Largely went over my head. My main takeaway: physics is hard. Author's key point seems to be that physicists cling to theories for reasons other than evidence? Maybe?
I did appreciate the personal touches in the book, such as mentioning the author's own mistakes or misadventures in interviewing people.
This book could have easily benefits from including audio of the interviews - especially the one playing the piano.
