Mind Openers 1.0

A Conceptual Review of Modern Physics

By: Alphonsus J. Fagan

Narrated by: Alphonsus J. Fagan

Mind Openers 1.0 is the first of a two-part set. It chronicles how the astounding discoveries of modern physics have fundamentally changed our understanding of reality. Using a mix of historical narrative, intuitive analogies, and graphics, the book explores, explains, and ponders at meaning of our deepest theories.

The author is a geophysicist (MSc, Fellow Geoscientists Canada) and educator who specializes in translating scientific material for the non-expert.

Key topics: History of special relativity, quantum theory, string theory, loop quantum gravity, and cosmology.

Great Listen for Science Enthusiasts

Fagan does a wonderful job weaving concepts and the history of science into a cohesive and engaging journey.

Excellent clarity and depth!

I am genuinely impressed by the book's simple and engaging presentation of the complex field of modern physics. Fagan has a gift for making abstract ideas accessible to the reader, using relatable analogies and everyday examples to bridge the gap between theory and practical understanding. I was especially impressed with the use of context when introducing ideas and relating concepts together. It is far too common in the physical sciences to present topics discretely and in isolation, but this book gives a cohesive overview from beginning to end. I found myself frequently pausing the audiobook to contemplate ideas that are naturally relevant to the subject but are rarely mentioned or discussed in other books. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in a better conceptual understanding of modern physics.
