How do you generate a force field? Could you survive falling into a black hole? How do you turn lead into gold?
If you thought physics was all about measuring the temperature of ice in a bucket or trying to fathom what E=mc^2 means, think again. In a series of intriguing, entertaining and often extraordinary scenarios, Physics Without the Boring Bits brings to life 35 key physics ideas in a way that anyone can understand.
Read this book and you'll find out how to fend off killer asteroids, live through a lightning strike, tough it out during an earthquake and fall into a black hole without being turned into spaghetti. And you'll also discover how to turn lead into gold, how to travel to the center of the Earth, how to crack supposedly unbreakable codes and how to use physics to predict the stock market.
So if you want to get to grips with the science behind relativity, antigravity and parallel universes, or if you are really more interested in learning how to teleport, travel through time or achieve immortality, this is the perfect introduction to the astonishing world of modern physics.

This is an interesting book. It tells about lot's of really cool things physicists are working on or how you could theoretically do things. For example some of the things I read in this book this week were how to make an invisibility cloak, how to survive falling into a black hole, and how to travel faster then light. There are about 32 other different ideas to read about. Each question has about five pages of information about it. So it is the type of book you can read a little at a time if you want.
ReplyDeleteIs it confusing though? I know I've looked breifly at some of your science books and be totally lost.
