Want to know the answers to life, the universe, and everything? Then you’re in for a disappointment... But you can understand some of its mysteries! Read on...13.8 billion years ago, a massive explosion happened...That explosion was the Big Bang, and it kickstarted a fireworks display of epic proportions - one so great we’re still trying to make sense of it today.Perhaps you know all about the Big Bang... but how much do you really know about what happened next?How much do you know about the universe it created?Scientists will spend their lifetimes trying to figure out its mysteries, and we’ll never know the answers to life, the universe, and everything (unless we fall back on The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy’s answer and settle on 42).For most people, the universe is endlessly fascinating... But the great tomes exploring it and the endless mathematical equations dedicated to figuring it out are not.Luckily for you, there’s a shortcut - one that’s much more fun and engaging than reading endless academic papers that leave you feeling more confused than you were when you started out.The universe should be fun, and you’re about to discover a book that understands that, weaving humor and wit into every paragraph so that you not only understand what you’re reading... but enjoy the whole process.Inside this comprehensive yet fun guide to the universe, you’ll discover:Why space and time rely on light to keep their relationship on track - and what the heck that has to do with the speed of lightA closer look at Uncle Albert and his crazy experiments (that’s Einstein to you!)What Shrӧdinger’s cat has to do with quantum mechanics - in language you actually understandWhy particle physics is like a detective story... and how this will help you to understand the universeThe mad scientist who rocked the scientific world in the 17th century and changed our understanding of the universeA dive into the terrifying world of black holes that won’t leave you with an existential crisisThe party planner of the universe that unites every branch of physicsHow to time travel (well, in theory... If it’s possible... Want to find out?)Everything you didn’t know you wanted to know about stars and constellationsThe beginner’s guide to Multiverse Theory (hang onto your hat!)The endless mystery of dark matter... and why it mattersYour guide to the Coffee Bean Experiment - and what it has to do with our solar systemA deeper look at every planet you know about because My Very Excellent Mother Just Served Us NoodlesAsteroids, planets, and spacecrafts (oh my!)... plus aliens - what’s the verdict?And much more.If you’ve always wanted to know about the universe but have been put off by the math, science, and academic language, it’s time to take a more fun approach.The universe is a weird and wonderful place, and to understand it, we need to take a very human look at it - one laced with humor, analogies, and simple language.
