Answers to science's most enduring questions from "Can I
build a transporter, like on Star Trek?" and "Is there life
on other planets?" to "What is empty space made of?" In A
Users Guide to the Universe, physicists Dave Goldberg and
Jeff Blomquist make good on two promises: youll get answers
and you won't have to decipher any equations to understand
them. (Well, maybe just one very short and very familiar
equation.) This quirky and fun book takes you on a
fascinating tour of the universe as we know it by asking
(and answering) weird, important, and provocative questions
Explains subjects as diverse as special relativity, quantum
mechanics, randomness, time travel, the expanding universe,
and much more Includes dozens of delightfully groan-worthy
cartoons that explain everything from special relativity to
dark matter This plain-English, plain-hilarious handbook
ushers you through all of the major discoveries of modern
physics, from relativity to the Large Hadron Collider,
without furrowing your brow even once. Put your mind at ease
and jump into modern physics in a way you never imagined
possiblecomfortably. Now is your chance to impress people at
cocktail parties with your insights into the world of
quantum weirdness, time and space, the expanding universe,
and much, much more.
