Synopsis
The two towering achievements of modern physics are quantum theory and Einstein's general theory of relativity. Together, they explain virtually everything about the world we live in. But, almost a century after their advent, most people haven't the slightest clue what either is about. Did you know that there's so much empty space inside matter that the entire human race could be squeezed into the volume of a sugar cube? Or that you grow old more quickly on the top floor of a building than on the ground floor? And did you realise that 1 percent of the static on a TV tuned between stations is a relic of the Big Bang?

Review
A brief, non-mathematical introduction to quantum theory and relativity. Succeeds magnificently. -- New Humanist, December 2007
Chown proves it is perfectly possible to explain hard physics without needing mathematics and graphs. Thoroughly recommended. -- BBC Sky at Night, January 2008
Lay readers, delighted by Chown's vivid imagery and lively humour, will experience several happy Eureka moments. -- The Times, November 17, 2007
Science doesn't come harder than this but Chown makes it all look so easy. -- New Scientist, December 1, 2007
Weird, sexy and mind-blowing. It's remarkable the number of new ways Chown has found to explain difficult and abstract concepts.
-- Nature, April 13, 2006
