Synopsis

What's the nature of reality? Does the universe ever end? What is time and does it even exist? These are the biggest imagination-stretching, brain-staggering questions in the universe - and here are their fascinating answers.

From quantum weirdness to freaky cosmology (like white holes - which spew out matter instead of sucking it in), This Book Will Blow Your Mind takes you on an epic journey to the furthest extremes of science, to the things you never thought possible. This book will explain:

- Why is part of the universe missing (and how scientists finally found it)
- How time might also flow backwards
- How human head transplants might be possible (in the very near future)
- Whether the universe is a hologram
- And why we are all zombies

Filled with counterintuitive stories and factoids you can't wait to share, as well as lots of did-you-knows and plenty of how-did-we-ever-not-knows, this will blow your mind - and then put it back together again.

You don't need a spaceship to travel to the extremes of science. You just need this audiobook.

Goodreads review by CuriousHerring on September 22, 2023

I found myself Google-ing so many topics because of this book. It's a great insight into a world of crazy scientific discoveries, paradoxes and theories, which I think is very useful for helping you get a feel for which aspects interest you most without dropping you into the complexities of each sub......more

A series of articles from the magazine, they are all relatively interesting, but quite hard-going.......more

Goodreads review by Jonathan on February 27, 2020

This was such a strange book to me for reasons that still surprise me. Before reading this book, I had realised that this book does not have many favourable reviews and many have been quoted to say it was boring. At first, I began to understand why. It was an immensely slow start and found most of t......more

Goodreads review by Elwin on June 14, 2022

"It was amazing." - 5 out of 5 star rating. What makes this book amazing is the incredibly wide array of very profound topics that are covered to a depth that is 'just right', not too heavy and not too light. I'm talking... - Bright nights (luminescent fog/smog and aurora borealis) - Lightning - Telep......more
