How to Speak Science: Gravity, Relativity, and Other Ideas That Were Crazy: Until Proven Brilliant

Trama

How do magnets work? What is the theory of relativity all about? Is light made of waves or particles? And how on earth can a levitating goat teach us about atomic structure? In this age of smartphones, artificial intelligence, supercolliders, supercomputers and other cutting-edge technology, we've lost touch with many of the most basic science concepts that launched our information age.
