'Gribbin has inspired generations with his popular science writing'
Jim Al-Khalili A scintillating collection of short essays that
really does cover 'life, the Universe, and everything'. From the
mysteries of the subatomic world to the curious property of water
that makes our planet inhabitable, master of popular science John
Gribbin delves into the astonishing facts that underlie our
existence. Some aspects of the quantum world really do seem
impossible to 'common sense', but have been proved correct by
experiments. Other features of the Universe appear obvious, such as
the fact that atoms are mostly empty space. But this familiarity
hides the truly amazing truths underpinning these observations. And
some things merely seem improbable but are also hiding a Deep
Truth, such as the fact that the Moon and Sun look the same size as
viewed from Earth. This book will change forever the way you view
the world. This volume brings together three of John Gribbin's
successful science books: Six Impossible Things (which was
Shortlisted for the Royal Society Insight Investment Science Books
Prize in 2019), Seven Pillars of Science and Eight Improbable
Possibilities.
