⭐Read it and you’ll see…

⭐`The Big Questions: Physics’ is a A5 sized hardback book that explores twenty of the most intriguing questions about physics. Each question is approximately ten pages long and explains the basic concepts of physics in a relatively clear and erudite way. Topics covered include What is Time?, What Happened to Schrödinger’s Cat?, What is the God Particle?, Why Does E=MC2?, Is String Theory Really About Strings? And more besides. There are various quotes smattered throughout, as well as diagrams to illustrate and clarify the more complex ideas. This is a good introduction to what can be a rather daunting subject and offers an easy way to engage with core ideas that affect us all. This book has a rubber band incorporated into the cover, like those found on stationary notebooks, which can be used as a bookmark and makes for a nice touch. All in all this is an interesting and thought provoking book that should stand you in good stead in understanding those key physic concepts that have always eluded you up until now.Feel free to check out my blog which can be found on my profile page.

⭐Covers key ideas in physics. Did I enjoy it? – very much. Is it suitable for the general reader with curiosity about physics? – yes. Is mathematical knowledge needed? – not really.

Would it provide a suitable background for further reading? – yes. Is the language clear and readable? – yes. Are the illustrations clear enough? – yes.

⭐5 STAR rating because as well as being a good read, it’s a handy reference book.You don’t need a degree in physics to understand it, and if you are interested inthis book you probably already have at least a limited knowledge of science, whichwould be helpful. Very clear helpful explanations.

⭐I received this book yesterday and I know its brilliant even though I haven’t read it. How? Because its exactly the same book as “Can we travel through time?” which I bought some time ago!D’oh!Personally I don’t think that’s very clear from the description but maybe I’m a bit dim.Anyway, it’s a cracking read – highly recommended.

⭐It’s good, for those pursuing a degree. And interesting for anyone who has done A-Level or “High School” for the U.S lads

⭐Covers a lot of ground and explains it well in good English which is nice. Good section on information. Very good introduction which could whet the appetite
