The universe is a mind-boggling place, full of things seemingly
too big and
too small to understand. How can we visualise the
minuscule world of the atom and the
vastness of our galaxy? How can we grasp a
billionth of a second and a
billion years ? Or the
freezing
point of Helium and the
heat generated by the blast of an atomic bomb?
David Blatner”s solution is to put these and many other ”inconceivable” items on six spectrums – numbers, size, light, sound, heat and time – that put them into a human perspective. Full of facts, illustrations and anecdotes, Spectrums proves that we really can make sense of our extraordinary universe.
