A hilarious, mind-bending investigation into how much humans and aliens might have in common, scientifically speaking—from a best-selling cartoonist and acclaimed physicist.
When aliens finally arrive on Earth, they might enslave us—or, maybe, they might just share the secrets of the universe. Will we be able to receive those precious jewels of knowledge? Is the common idea that math and physics are a universal language really true?
In Do Aliens Speak Physics?, Daniel Whiteson and Andy Warner ask and answer questions both lighthearted and profound. Would aliens even need science to build the technology that brings them to Earth? Is it possible that they could experience the universe very differently, tasting electrons and smelling photons, or are these particles only convenient concepts in our minds? With cartoons, deep insight, and dad jokes, Whiteson and Warner explode the ideas you had about science and reality, leaving the universe—and humanity—stranger and more marvelous than before.
