Description
An eye-opening and accessible account of the latest as-yet-inexplicable phenomena of the universe – oddities that could transform our understanding of the fundamental nature of reality.
A cracking tale of particle physics and cosmology . . . Space Oddities is a rare joy – enlightening, thrilling and inspiring.
Space Oddities is as fascinating as its title suggests. Anomalies are always interesting, sometimes fascinating, and occasionally revelatory, and Harry Cliff recounts with vivid clarity the stories of some of the most striking oddnesses that have lit up the landscape of modern physics. I enjoyed it enormously.
Cliff's engaging and personable writings style, along with his infectious enthusiasm, follows in the best traditions of Feynman and Sagan.
Superb . . . Cliff’s lucid explanations do a remarkable job of making the complicated physics accessible and even exciting . . . A first-rate dispatch from the cutting edge of physics
Cliff’s optimism, light sense of humour, and enthusiasm for his subject shine through . . . An authoritative investigation of emerging scientific problems
Cliff converts complex physics into eminently readable popular science.
Fascinating . . . Geared toward curious lay readers willing to be challenged with mind-bending scientific puzzles . . . clear explanations, a sprinkling of humou, and a dash of poetry
Harry Cliff is a particle physicist based at the University of Cambridge and carries out research with the LHCb experiment at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider. His 2015 TED talk 'Have We Reached the End of Physics?' has been viewed nearly 3 million times. He is the author of How to Make an Apple Pie from Scratch.
