An engaging, accessible and fascinating look at science's 'best bits' by popular comedian and particle physicist Ben Miller.
Black holes. Global warming. The Hadron Collider. Ever had that sinking feeling that you really should know about these things, but somehow never quite grasped them? Don't worry - you're not alone.
Before Ben Miller was a comedian, he used to be a physicist, working towards a PhD in Novel Quantum Effects in Quasi-Zero-Dimensional Electron Systems. But then he woke up twenty years later and realised he didn't know any of this stuff either.
And so he set out on a mission. He worked out the ten most vital things in science - the things you really need to know. He talked to experts, he visited research labs, he went to see the Hadron Collider in action... And then he wrote this book.
