When We Cease to Understand the World by Benjamin Labatut. The more that physics and mathematics advances, the less comprehensible it becomes.
“We know how to use it, it works as if by some strange miracle, and yet there is not a human soul, alive or dead, who actually gets it. The mind cannot come to grips with its paradoxes or contradictions. It’s as if the theory had fallen to earth from another planet, and we simply scamper around it like apes, toying and playing with it, but with no true understanding.”
