### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Sautoy is an atheist, but he does not make it explicit in his text.
  

*by C***O on Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2022*

As Martin van Creveld puts it, this is a very interesting book. Especially, for the great scientific erudition of whoever writes it. Marcus du Sautoy is a popularizer and professor of mathematics at the University of Oxford, known for being the host of the BBC's documentary series "The Code", about basic concepts of the history of the use and meaning of numbers.However, turning the pages it becomes clear that Sautoy eludes or ignores a great truth, without which not only science, but everything that exists lacks explanation and meaning. What is the existence of an Immobile Prime Mover, of an Uncaused Cause, etc. And whom many of us simply call God. For without the presence of him all scientific explanation falls short.Well, as stated by Albert Einstein, a great scientist and often cited by the author. Who claimed to believe in a God who shows himself through the order and harmony of universal laws.Sautoy is an atheist, but he does not make it explicit in his text. Which is fine, you don't have to. But, it is good that the readers of him know it, in order to save us several superfluous pages, full of doubts and stares into the void.

    Most of the text summaries, in popular science style, what we know, mainly in physics, and then points at what we cannot know
  

*by A***M on Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2017*

Most of the text summaries, in popular science style, what we know, mainly in physics. It only then points at what we don't know yet, or what we cannot know in principle, due to limitations presented by chaos theory, Heisenberg principle of uncertainty, singularity, etc. On top of physics the book surveys what neuroscientists and mathematicians know (and don't know) about consciousness, the consistency of mathematics (Gödel incompleteness theorem) and infinity. The book is interesting and clear. Note: in the Kindle version the formulas are displayed in a small and faint print that cannot be enlarged. Very inconvenient.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Entertaining and insightful modern review of physical theory
  

*by H***S on Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2016*

Reading this book is like sitting down with a gifted thinker and listening to his stories about exploring the brilliant success and remaining mysteries of modern physics and logic. It is entertaining and informative even if you know the issues involved, and can be appreciated even if they are new to you.
