A Layman's Guide to Space, Time, The Universe and Other Unbelievable Stuff (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781912615377)

The universe will blow your mind...

Ever wondered what a black hole really is? How stars are born or what happens when they die? How time could possibly stop? Or even just what's out there?

Well, Nick Spindler answers all those questions and more in this accessible book. Nick is not a scientist, but is guided by his fascination with physics. He's done a ton of research, and has distilled complicated concepts into enthralling and dynamic explanations that - most importantly - make sense.

We are reasonably intelligent life-forms who have lived on this rock we call Earth for nearly two million years, yet few of us really understand the forces that shape our everyday lives - those that cause time to flow differently for each of us, that stop us floating off into space, that allow us to see objects in space with the naked eye that would take us billions of years to travel to.

Nick Spindler lifts the lid, ditches the mumbo-jumbo and uses analogies and explanations that the layman can understand. He has written this book in an easy-to-follow style, so that everyone can comprehend the sheer magnitude and power of the world we live in - not just the geeks.

Prepare to be entranced by how heart-stoppingly exciting our universe really is.
