A fun trip through rigorous science
Despite our linguistic abilities, humans are ill-equipped to comprehend what’s happening in the universe. Our senses and intuition routinely mislead us. This book tells the story of how we came to suppress our monkey minds and perceive the true nature of reality. Geneticist Adam Rutherford and mathematician Hannah Fry guide readers through time and space, showing how emotions shape our reality, how our minds tell us lies, and why we began poking at the fabric of the universe.
Along the way they wrestle questions like Where did time come from? and Does my dog love me? Hilarious sidebars present scientific oddities: for example, hypnotized snails, human-sized ants, and the average time it takes most animals to empty their bladders.
