Look around you. The reflection of your face in a window tells you
that the universe is orchestrated by chance. The iron in a spot of
blood on your finger tells you that somewhere out in space there is
furnace at a temperature of 4.5 billion degrees. Your TV tells you
that the universe had a beginning. In fact, your very existence
tells you that this may not be the only universe but merely one
among an infinity of others, stacked like the pages of a
never-ending book. Marcus Chown, author of Quantum Theory Cannot
Hurt You, What a Wonderful World and The Solar System, takes
familiar features of the world we know and shows how they can be
used to explain profound truths about the ultimate nature of
reality. His new book will change the way you see the universe:
with Chown as your guide, cutting-edge science is made clear and
meaningful by a falling leaf, or a rose, or a starry night sky...
We Need To Talk About Kelvin: What Everyday Things Tell Us About
The Universe is a hugely accessible exploration of quantum theory,
relativity, cosmology, biology and chemistry. Taking our everyday
experiences, Marcus Chown quickly and painlessly explains the
unltimate truths of reality.
