In her introduction, author Hiba Noor Khan says this book is for everyone who has ever looked around them and wondered how, or asked why? It certainly goes a long way towards explaining the science – and physics in particular – in the world around us. It opens with a spread on atoms, ‘the world’s tiny building blocks’, moves onto solids, liquids and gasses (that includes an explanation of farts), friction, pressure and gravity.
Each page is packed with information, all presented in ways that emphasise the wonder of it all while laying out the science with admirable clarity. Things get bigger and wilder towards the end, the final pages looking at Black Holes (which could spaghettify your dog), time travel and what would happen if the world suddenly stopped spinning. Readers will finish with a sense of awe and a really solid understanding of our universe.
Have you ever wondered how to slow down time? Or what would happen if the Earth stopped spinning? Or whether you'd be OK if you fell into a black hole? Well, wonder no more. This book, by former physics teacher and UKLA longlisted author Hiba Noor Khan, is bursting with fascinating physics facts that will explain everything you want to know, and more, about the curiosities of our cosmos.
