Read on Hacker NewsLets just say that nobody reads popular science/physics books for "real" understanding. I always thought of them more as entertainers, giving a glimpse into the mysteries of modern physics, even if superficial or exaggerated, clearer than what probably the situation at the ground is. Not every one can spend enough time to go through the painstaking path of understanding physics up to the level of Quantum Mechanics or General Relativity. If I really wanted to understand what was happening, I would go pick up David Griffiths.
