Description
The author has managed to write a book about modern physics in a very unconventional way; his approach is irreverent, confounding readers, and viewing his subject from unusual angles, irritating experts by deliberately avoiding 'correct' terminology. With the help of several large and small numbers, he presents significant moments in physical research. From reflections on Usain Bolt's speed, he moves to the theory of relativity, from a number so large that our brains could not comprehend it, back to black holes. He touches on the infinite universe and the quantum world, with examples that are seemingly exaggerated as well as completely mundane, all presented in a characteristically light-hearted manner.
