The Disordered Cosmos: A Journey into Dark Matter, Spacetime, and Dreams Deferred by Chanda Prescod-Weinstein
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Dr. Chanda Prescod-Weinstein, a trailblazing theoretical physicist at the University of New Hampshire, asks deep questions about how we and the universe got to this very moment. She believes all of us should have the same access to the nature of our universe and it shouldn't be up to just a small section of researchers. In the Black feminist traditions, she hopes for a future where the field of science is open to all and where all are welcome to find answers to their questions about it. She expertly weaves many of the Standard Model of Particle Physics, dark matter theory, and the politics around the field of science together in an intriguing way. As someone who doesn't regular read particle physics, it was truly a remarkable read.
