Eschewing the usual mathematical explanations for physics phenomena,
this approachable reference explains complicated scientific concepts in
plain English that everyone can understand. Completely updated to tackle
the big issues such as gravity, magnetism, sound, and what really happens
in the Large Hadron Collider, this engaging look at physics also spells
out why cats always land on their feet, why people appear to have red eyes
in photographs, and the real danger of looking at an eclipse. For everyone
who ever wondered how a light bulb works or how squirrels avoid
electrocution on the power lines, this handbook supplies answers on the
physics of everyday life and examines the developments in the exploration
of subatomic particles. In addition to the question-and-answer section,
an addendum of facts about physicists explains what the Nobel prize is and
who has won it, and tells the story of the scientist who was incarcerated
for agreeing with Copernicus.
