Bestselling author Marcus Chown explores some of the most profound
and important science about us, our world and beyond by examining
some astonishing facts that reveal the vast complexities of the
universe. There is much about our world that seems to make perfect
sense, and important scientific breakthroughs have helped us
understand ourselves, our planet and our place in the universe in
fascinating detail. But our adventures in space, our deepening
understanding of the quantum world and huge leaps in technology
over the last century have also revealed a universe far stranger
than we could ever have imagined. With brilliant clarity and wit,
bestselling author Marcus Chown examines the profound science
behind fifty remarkable scientific facts that help explain the vast
complexities of our existence. Did you know that you could fit the
whole human race in the volume of a sugar cube? Or that the
electrical energy in a single mosquito is enough to cause a global
mass extinction? Or that, out there in the cosmos, there are an
infinite number of copies of you reading an infinite number of
copies of this? Infinity in the Palm of Your Hand is a mind-bending
journey through some of the most weird and wonderful facts about
our universe, vividly illuminating the hidden truths that govern
our everyday lives.
