In The Shortest History of Reality, the idea of 'what's real' is traced from its everyday, common-sense beginnings to the mind-bending discoveries of modern physics. Along the way, we encounter the great shifts in thought that reshaped our view of existence - from ancient philosophy to the rise of science, from Newton's universe to the strange probabilities of the quantum world and beyond.
Blending science, history and philosophy, this is a brisk and lucid tour through humanity's changing grasp of reality. With clarity and wit, it introduces key thinkers and turning points, revealing how each era has deepened - and complicated - our understanding of what's really out there.
Rather than an encyclopaedia of everything that exists, this book is the compelling story of how we've tried to make sense of it all.
With a foreword by Derek Muller (Veritasium)
