"Third Thoughts" by Steven Weinberg

“It is generally foolish to bet against the judgements of science, and in this case, when the planet is at stake, it is insane.”

- Steven Weinberg, Third Thoughts; The Universe We Still Don't Know, Google Books: bit.ly/2Cyo5ax
This is from a new book of essays by Weinberg. I haven't read it yet, but it got a great review in Physics Today, who called it "a delightful collection of essays for the general reader." They wrote, "Weinberg often hits the nail right on the head."

PS: Interesting book cover. I wonder what it means. (Weinberg is now 85.)
