The most brutally honest physics textbook introduction ever written! This perfectly captures the cycle of physics knowledge - centuries of scientists thinking they've figured it all out, only to discover entire new realms of confusion. The casual dismissal of "small stuff" (quantum mechanics), "big stuff" (cosmology), "hot stuff" (thermodynamics), and "the concept of time" (relativity) is pure genius. It's basically saying "we understand physics perfectly... except for literally everything important." Physics in a nutshell: constantly oscillating between "we know everything" and "we know nothing" with increasing precision.
