Existential Physics
A Scientist's Guide to Life's Biggest Questions
What's it about
Ever wonder if physics can answer life's biggest questions, like whether you have free will or if the past still exists? Get ready for a mind-bending journey that uses hard science, not wishful thinking, to tackle the mysteries we all ponder. Renowned physicist Sabine Hossenfelder separates scientific fact from philosophical fiction. You'll learn what current physics actually says about concepts like the soul, the multiverse, and the nature of time itself. Discover how to think like a scientist and find clarity on questions you thought were unanswerable.
Meet the author
Sabine Hossenfelder is a research fellow at the Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies and a leading theoretical physicist specializing in the foundations of physics. Her work critically examines the standard model and quantum gravity, challenging conventional thinking within the scientific community. This unique perspective, combined with her talent for clear communication, allows her to bridge the gap between complex physics and the profound human questions we all ask about our existence, purpose, and the nature of reality itself.
