review:
This book is not just for students of physics. It is a book for any intelligent person, who likes to be provoked into thought, and into questioning of his/her assumptions. Reading this, the first thing you'll realize is how you don't really know what space and time are, inspite of the fact that you seem so comfortable and sure about them.

Just a casual thought into their nature will lead you to questioning the nature of 3 dimensional reality, and plunge you into depths of reflection and thought you couldn't have expected from a physics book.

This is not a book on physics. It is a book on the nature of reality.
