Lets take <b>atoms</b>, for example what on earth are they? Well, if you start to think of them less like things you cant see with complex little nuclei and more like the alphabet of nature, which in different configurations can make a rose, a galaxy or a newborn baby, they might start to feel a little more understandable. Or <b>gravitational waves</b> they sound poetic, but why are they creating so much excitement? Think of them as the voice of space, vibrations on the drumskin of space-time before delving into all their complexities. <br><br>In<b> twenty-one short and engaging chapters</b>, Chown explains the one thing you need to know to understand some of <b>the most important scientific ideas of our time</b>. Packed full of <b>astounding facts</b>, scientific history and the <b>entertaining personalities</b> at the heart of <b>the most pivotal discoveries </b>about the workings of our universe, this is an accessible guide to all the tricky stuff youve always wanted to understand more about.</p>
