The Simmering Pot of Space-Time

Physics may seem unbearable, boring and one of the most pathetic little things that mankind has ever cared to give to humble teens. But on a grand scale, physics is odd. It is weird. It does not agree with itself. It's a radical science. Things can vanish and re-appear. Lifeless electrons can be "conscious". Some stuff can be so bizarre that it breaks away from the stereotypical label of 'science'. Physics on a grand scale is unbelievable. The same physics that gives you the pains of sleepless nights can be twisted to create the most outlandish yet relevant theorems about the universe. Physics is a seriously misunderstood subject. Its width stretches far beyond the IIT-JEE or dusty blackboards jostling with pale equations. In contrast, physics has carved a secret universe of its own, a universe which holds the marvels of time travel, teleportation, eternal youth and several other unbelievable inventions; a universe that is explored by the elite few. Pure physics, (that is after the entire math in it has been ignored) is perhaps one of the most appealing sciences of all. And the best part is that it's accessible to all. The Simmering Pot of Space-time explores the wild side of physics, from vanishing stickmen to time travelling on a daily basis; from teleportation to gaining immortality, from invisibility cloaks to doubting our very own existence; get ready to thrill yourself with the craziest facts and theories that make physics the coolest kid on the block!

Sumer Vaid is a 16-year old science fanatic who lives in Mumbai. He has been interested in science ever since he can remember and has been pursuing his passion since he was 10 years old by reading books, watching TV shows and devouring any scientific material he could lay his hands upon. He writes fiction in his free time and shares his stories through the Internet. Sumer has made it his personal mission to shatter the stereotype of physics as posed by the Indian society; as that of a burdensome subject or a profitable business or a means of gaining admission to top schools. Sumer wishes to introduce the secret arena of jostling physics to the regular teen, and tell him or her that physics or science as a whole is anything but lethal. Sumer attends the Ecole Mondiale World School and his interests are majorly supported by his family and school. Regardless of his musings in this book, physics and mathematics remain his favorite subjects at school.
