In 140 pages, two masterly popularisers present 140 explanations of
the biggest questions in physics - in the form of 10 or so tweets
per page. They set themselves the challenge of boiling down what is
essential on each subject into sentences of 140 characters, and the
results are both entertaining and brilliantly informative. Not a
word is wasted. The reader is not patronized and learns something
on every page. If only all science writing could be so precise and
so economical. Only science writers of a very high calibre could
achieve such compression. Marcus Chown - "the finest cosmology
writer of our day" (Matt Ridley) - has known the Dutch writer
Govert Schilling for twenty years. Schilling pioneered this very
swift form of explanation in a Dutch newspaper, and suggested to
Chown that they collaborate on bringing it to a wider audience.
"Tweeting the Universe" is unlike any other science book.
