It does not feel like you are reading much of a physics books at all

As a result i have many wrong directions of understanding of it and all my efforts ended up with facing that im not able to grasp complexity that theory

If and when i would think of a contradiction of one of the theories the book would in the next section be explaining why that exact contradiction was not a contradiction

The book does not contain any of the math evolved in the theories but i would say that it would be a good companion book to a more advanced college text book over relativity

Too many highly educated individuals know all the math but dont understand the conceptual workings of physics

For instance during my morning coffee break with two of my friends one a professor who teaches college level physics the other an electrical consulting engineer in the semiconductor field couldnt grasp the role that quantum entanglement played in the fact that an electrical current cant flow between the positive pole of one battery and the negative pole of a 34disconnected34 second battery

My only misgiving is that the book is getting out of date on many topics
