N1  - Includes index; Cutting-edge concepts made simple -- it`s not rocket science. The media reports on the latest scientific discoveries and breakthroughs can seem like a foreign language, from black holes, to dark matter and exoplanets to leap seconds. Finally get to grips with these difficult concepts by reading Ben Gilliland`s unique take on them. `Science but not as we know it` takes complex scientific ideas and breaks them down for the non-scientist, from explaining the size of the Universe, to how black holes work, Schroedinger`s cat and the Higgs boson. Difficult ideas and theories are compared to everyday things we are familiar with -- forces become armies and electrons have personalities. This book will have you saying `I get it now!` over and over again. You no longer have to be a rocket scientist to understand rocket science
