Paradox: The Nine Greatest Enigmas in Physics

About the book

Jim Al-Khalili uses nine puzzling questions and thought experiments to introduce ideas from physics and astronomy. From the darkness of the night sky to time travel and Schrödinger's cat, he explores situations that seem to contradict common sense. Explaining what makes each problem appear impossible, he shows how scientific reasoning can untangle it while leading readers into relativity, quantum mechanics, and the nature of the universe.
