Summary
Did you know that there’s so much empty space inside matter that the entire human race could be squeezed into the volume of a sugar cube? Or that you grow old more quickly on the top floor of a building than on the ground floor?
The two towering achievements of modern physics are quantum theory and Einstein’s general theory of relativity. But, almost a century after their advent, most people haven’t the slightest clue what either is about. Get set for the most entertaining science book of the year.

quantum
narration was a bit monotonous but good in the end if you are into science topics

Very Interesting
This was tough going, concepts I found hard to grasp but as a mental workout it was great. I will listen to this again in the future and see if time helps in digesting the concepts. If your looking for unconventional this is the one.

Not as clear as hoped
I did science at university and got top grade for physics at A level but I found this book at times difficult to understand and one of the examples to explain the science just did not make sense to me I had hoped for some ideas for explaining it all to my grandchildren OK things have moved on since my day but I have been involved in education ever since ....

A great introduction to Einstein's theories
First a journey through the micro, in the realm of the atom. Then the macro and the laws of physics and our understanding of nature. Finally Cosmology and the theories that may take humanity to the stars.
Einstein – posed the questions from observations made and formulated theories that have help us know more about the universe
As Einstein questioned gravity and how that applies in space and identified the 4th dimension of space-time, a whole new theory of space distortion around mass which brings a better understanding to cosmos and makes the creation of the universe something that now meets with all the theories that our leaned scientists have proposed over the years.
A fantastic stepping stone to our knowledge of the universe, how it began, how it behaves and eventually how it may end.
Add to this subject the narration of Clive Mantle and here’s a book that is more than worth a listen. I found myself repeating chapters so I could re-enforce what had been read to me.
Very listenable and without having to do the mathematics that was used to validate the theory, I now have a better understanding of Einstein's work and his resulting theories.

Fascinating story read by a knowledgeable person
Really clears the air of mystery around the quantum world. the narrative is beautifully woven to reveal the various threads of physics and maths that lead to the quantum world this demystifying an area of 0 science that has an air of complicatedness around it.
The narrator is brilliant, has a pleasing and engaging tone and sounds like he knows what he's talking about. A brilliant must read for all, especially if you like science.

More sense
I did a course on quantum but this made more sense. Didn't understand it all but it actually did make more sense than before. Except it really doesn't make sense at all.

Quantum Theory Cannot Hurt You - Yes it can...
After listening to this my head hurts!
Actually, a really interesting and truly mind-boggling book but it's going to take more than one listen to even begin to understand some of the topics discussed here.
The narration was excellent... even had me believing that he might understand all of this!

One of the best books I have read on this subject
Very clear, easy to understand, concise information. This is one of the best books for beginners that I have read on quantum mechanics.

Interesting read for the already enlightened
This is a good popular science book, but it requires a bit of understanding of physics before you start, so not a complete beginners guide. (As you might think from the title.)
