I am 10 pages from the end of The Fabric of the Cosmos, and now know a lot more about motion, space, time, spacetime, entropy, gravity, cosmology and string theory (also reading The Trouble With Physics which provides an alternative viewpoint and is testing how much I’ve actually learnt!).
Anyway enough showing off about my reading material, the image above is from The Fabric of the Cosmos, and one I’m going to do my own version of, using 3D towers etc. It’s one of the only illustrations in the book I could consider reinterpreting. I think the others - the more diagrammatical, abstract ones - have been chosen quite carefully and serve their purpose well - I’d only make them more decorative and probably end up obscuring their meaning. Having said that I do like making diagrammatical, abstract images, so I might not be able to resist. Also probably going to have a go at my own version of the book cover.
