Review:
This book is a general science book which I found really interesting. It talks about atoms, light years robots and even how planets are made. It is really interesting especially the small articles by other scientists which I think broadens the range of knowledge you can read in the book.
Probably, the most interesting part for me was when I learnt about atoms, light years and particle accelerators. Light years although they sound like time are actually a measure of distance used in astronomy. The distance is how far light can travel in a year and that is very far. Because some stars are so far away if we looked up to the night sky today then we could be seeing light that is many years old and we would be looking into the past. So if a star 10 light years away exploded it would be 10 years after the event that we would learn that it had exploded.
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes science and is prepared to read a reasonably long book.
