⭐Love it! Best collection of science jokes and stories I have been able to find so far. It is easy to read as the stories are narrated with a good pace and language. Very intelligent and good for all ages. It is not only funny, but allows to connect to famous scientists in a very human way. We have studied them as what they discovered, and now there is a human side of them as well. A nice way to connect and maybe later read their biographies. I have read Einstein’s biography and the funny stories here about him either are well picked from what I already know or add to that and fit well into the picture. The collector-narrator of stories is intelligent, understands science and narrates the stories on the level enjoyable by scientists.

⭐I purchased this as a gift for my mother, a high-school biology teacher. I was very disappointed with it. We had trouble understanding any of the jokes and it is very outdated. Great idea, but not for this generation.

⭐This is just a collection of jokes, anecdotes, limericks & riddles revealing the funny side of physics, biology, mathematics, & other branches of science. I often buy books like this one – in fact, I have already amassed a vast collection over the years. I will often browse them from time to time, just to keep my intellectual mind, – not just my funny bone – alive!Absolute Zero Gravity captures the levity of the world of science. I always have a ardent fascination for science, technology & discovery.To some people, science may seem stuffy & serious, but behind the equations, observations, & reactions lies a hidden affinity for the irrational, the paradoxical, & the simply amusing. From Darwin to Einstein, from astronomy to zoology, Absoulte Zero Gravity includes all the funniest manifestations of the scientific method: from irreverent anecdotes & brilliant insults to practical jokes, experimental graffiti, & proofs of the absurd e.g.The astrophysicist’s dilemma:If the universe is really expanding, why can’t you find a parking place?Let me share with readers one interesting joke from the section under ‘Science, Nonscience & AntiScience’:An engineer, a physicist, a mathematician, & a mystic were asked to name the greatest invention of all time. The engineer chose fire, which gave humanity power over matter. The physicist chose the wheel, which gave humanity power over space. The mathematician chose the alphabet, which gave humanity power over symbols. The mystic chose the thermos bottle.”Why a thermos bottle?” the others asked.”Because the thermos keeps hot liquids hot in winter & cold liquids cold in summer.””Yes – so what?””Think about it,” said the mystic reverently. “That little bottle – how does it know?”Let me say this: Absolute Zero Gravity will definitely tickle the funny bone of both scientists & non-scientists alike!

⭐Very funny! I felt like the book was much bigger. That’s because most of the jokes and stories are very small, so the book packs a lot of them. Also, many of the stories made me stop and think.
