A compendium of physical paradoxes and puzzles. Levi shows that the surprising answers to all of them can be arrived at with no formal knowledge of physics.
Synopsis
Ever wonder why cats land on their feet? Or what holds a spinning top upright? Or whether it is possible to feel the Earth's rotation in an airplane? This title offers a compendium of paradoxes and puzzles that readers can solve using their own physical intuition. It also features an appendix that explains all physical concepts used in the book.
