In this fun and engaging book, the academic, broadcaster and populariser of science helps us to get our heads around some of science's most mind-boggling ideas, and shows us how to solve what appear to be paradoxes.
Synopsis
A true paradox is a statement that leads to a circular and self-contradictory argument, or one that describes a logically impossible situation. This title features puzzles that take us through some of the greatest hits of science - from Einstein's theories about space and time, to the ideas of how the quantum world works.
