Synopsis

The Wonders of Science reveals that the physical world is a far more complex and amazing world than it appears to be, so wondrous that it almost defies comprehension. Brilliant scientists have devoted their lives to uncovering these secrets. However, everyone should be able to share the joy of learning about these wonders. No detailed knowledge of science is required to understand these new discoveries, which include quantum theory, relativity theory, string theory, chaos theory, black holes, dark matter, dark energy, the multidimensional universe, quarks, and much more. These many topics are here described in a clear and accessible presentation that can be enjoyed by everyone.

Even the greatest scientists sometimes make mistakes. Included in the book are some of the blunders made by leading scientists, including Nobel Prize winners.
