The Simmering Pot of Space-Time (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789381836200)

Physics may seem unbearable, boring and one of the most pathetic little things that mankind has ever cared to give to humble teens. But on a grand scale, physics is odd. It is weird. It does not agree with itself. It's a radical science. Things can vanish and re-appear. Lifeless electrons can be "conscious". Some stuff can be so bizarre that it breaks away from the stereotypical label of 'science'. Physics on a grand scale is unbelievable. The same physics that gives you the pains of sleepless nights can be twisted to create the most outlandish yet relevant theorems about the universe. Physics is a seriously misunderstood subject. Its width stretches far beyond the IIT-JEE or dusty blackboards jostling with pale equations. In contrast, physics has carved a secret universe of its own, a universe which holds the marvels of time travel, teleportation, eternal youth and several other unbelievable inventions; a universe that is explored by the elite few. Pure physics, (that is after the entire math in it has been ignored) is perhaps one of the most appealing sciences of all. And the best part is that it's accessible to all. The Simmering Pot of Space-time explores the wild side of physics, from vanishing stickmen to time travelling on a daily basis; from teleportation to gaining immortality, from invisibility cloaks to doubting our very own existence; get ready to thrill yourself with the craziest facts and theories that make physics the coolest kid on the block
