About this audiobook
Black holes. DNA. The Large Hadron Collider. Ever had that sneaking feeling that you are missing out on some truly spectacular science?
You do? Well fear not, for help is at hand.
Ben Miller was working on his Physics PhD at Cambridge when he accidentally became a comedian. But first love runs deep, and he has returned to his roots to share with you all his favourite bits of science. This is the stuff that you really need to know, not only because it matters, but because it will quite simply amaze and delight you.
'Let me show you another, perhaps less familiar side of Science; her beauty, her seductiveness and her passion. And let's do it quickly, while Maths isn't looking' Ben Miller

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Some interesting stories about the development of physical sciences in thlate 20th century, but does not add much novelty to the many books available on the topic. Not a bad read, but don't expect too much.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5As a cure for scientific illiteracy, this little book is not the ultimate answer, but it is a good summary of what we know so far about life, the universe, and everything. It's a fun and informative read. I can recommend it.
