1. Seven Brief Lessons on Physics
This book is a succinct and enlightening introduction to the fundamental concepts of modern physics, presented in seven easy-to-understand lessons. The lessons cover topics such as general relativity, quantum mechanics, the architecture of the cosmos, particles, quantum gravity, probability, time, and the human perspective on these scientific wonders. The book aims to bridge the gap between the complex world of modern physics and the general public's understanding, making the often intimidating subject accessible and engaging for all readers.

2. The Order Of Time
The book delves into the nature of time, challenging our conventional understanding by exploring its fluid and relative characteristics. It weaves together insights from physics, philosophy, and literature to illustrate how time is not a universal constant but rather a complex and multifaceted concept. The author explains how modern physics, particularly theories of quantum mechanics and relativity, reveal that time can behave in unexpected ways, differing from our everyday experiences. Through this exploration, the book invites readers to reconsider their perceptions of reality and the fundamental structure of the universe.
