It is most effective for those who have the desire to know and the ability to think. Best for those with pure science background but others can also grasp the ideas. The writer frequently shift the domain of discussion between science and philosophy and thus try to merge both. What are the most basic laws of nature? Had the laws been created for our universe only or the laws have eternal existence? Why the universe exists at all? The writers does not arrive a definite conclusion. Rather he pu...

When it comes to providing a roadmap to cover (almost) all of reality, only someone like Roger Penrose could have accomplished it in a single volume book.

This book certainly covers almost all of known physics (except highly arcane, speculative topics such as 'holographic theory' and the like). Starts out beautifully with basic laws of physics i.e. reality, and quickly educates the reader on the more sophisticated topics. Although I felt that the transition from "easy" to the more difficult...

The first few chapters(1-16) introduce you to the mathematical concepts that you will require to understand the later chapters.Penrose manages to cover almost all the basic laws and the modern developments in almost all the fields of physics.
I believe a mathematically minded general reader will definitely enjoy this.

I bought this book 3 years ago and i still go through book as this takes me to the journey of physics and helps me understand the deep laws which shapes the universe. This book can be accesible to anyone with a basic understanding of mathematics and elementary physics, though not important. The author takes you to the journey of beautiful equations and laws from the veru elementary level so that anyone can have a profound understanding after grasping those concepts. This is one of the most im...

Exquisitely brilliant text in mathematical interpretation of theoretical physics from the Nobel laureate Sir Roger.

A very huge collection of good material on Mathematics and Physics. The first 16 chapters develop the mathematical foundations required to follow the remaining chapters.

Timely delivery by flipkart.

If you are trying to look forward for having a better flavor and vision of this universe go for this book elegantly written and very good book..
And as almost every time Flipkart service is too good.Thank you flipkart team for your efforts...

A beautiful book. Takes some of your time to read. I mean you have to concentrate while reading it, and not read it like some random story book. But definitely worth the read. And as usual a very satisfactory delivery from Flipkart

well you do not need to be a professional with many theoretical and experimental facts for reading this , the most good thing about this book is almost all topics are covered that describes the beautiful meet of mathematics and physical realism in brief manner . it also attracts its readers to go for further details .

Although it is difficult to understand some chapters,but with sustained efforts one will gradually understand.
It deals with higher level physics and therefore, difficulty in grasping the subject can not be avoided totally.
Cross-referencing of various topics is wonderful & it helps to understand significantly.Overall, it is a wonderful book.
Sougato bought the book for his father & his father's name is given below.
