The premise of this book is truly awesome. Gosh, I was crushing on so many sentences and sentiments and overall themes. Which absolutely makes sense as not only were there poignantly brilliant one-liners, but the whole experience is doused in a whimsical and clever humour. I found out after reading that Sailes is a comedienne. The prose is a dream: insightful and sharp and snarky, slightly whimsical and completely relate-able. The first reason I fell in love with this book was because is gorgeously funny. So I read Past Perfect until 3am and grinned and sighed my way through it. Not because it’s an adrenalin-fuelled, tension-filled, mind-blowing plot but because I was just having such a good time reading it that it felt like a crime to stop. Reading Past Perfect was reminiscent of the time I read Psych Major Syndrome.

Little did I know then that this somewhat introverted postdoc would rise to become one of fundamental physics’ most prominent communicators as well as one of its starkest critics. In her 2018 book Lost in Math, German physicist Sabine Hossenfelder criticized researchers in the foundations of physics for their “use of unscientific methods.” In her new book, Existential Physics, she now points out that “some of the research they pursue isn’t scientific to begin with.” I briefly met Hossenfelder at a conference in Mexico about fifteen years ago. Probably few of us, however, would think of faulting scientists. Each one of us might cast blame for this failure differently-be it on the far right or left, be it on mainstream or social media. If anything, the past decade has scattered any hope that the twentieth century’s stellar rise of modern science imbued us with a lasting, mutual understanding of how we agree on truth. “TRUTH” AND HOW we find it has never been an easy topic.

Together, we waited as the librarian pulled out each date card and, with a loud chunk-chunk, stamped a crooked due date on it, below a score of previous crooked due dates that belonged to other people, other times. Then, after a while, my mother and I reunited at the checkout counter with our finds. Even when I was maybe four or five years old, I was allowed to go off on my own. The library might have been the first place that I was ever given independence. We walked in together, but, as soon as we passed through the door, we split up, each heading to our favorite section. Throughout my childhood, starting when I was very young, my mother drove me there a couple of times a week. My family lived in the suburbs of Cleveland, about a mile from the brick-faced Bertram Woods Branch of the Shaker Heights Public Library system. I grew up in libraries, or at least it feels that way. |
