Paradox: The Nine Greatest Riddles of Science

A Fascinating (And Entertaining) Look at Science's Greatest Paradoxes.

From time to time, scientists pose questions that push the limits of the mind. How can a cat be dead and alive at the same time? Why can't Achilles outrun a tortoise, no matter how fast he runs? How can someone be ten years older than their twin?

Professor Al-Khalili, who was awarded a medal by the British Royal Academy for his contributions to the communication of science, shows that these paradoxes can be solved if we manage to look at them from the right perspective, with his understandable and skillful explanation that puts us into the brains of those who create the paradoxes. While doing this, he benefits from the most important theories that have entered human knowledge, from Einstein's theories of time and the universe to brand new ideas from the quantum world.

Paradox is a book that will challenge your mind a lot... but you will enjoy it very much.



"Al-Khalili guides you to the heights of science, but he does it with such deceptive ease that when you realize you are already staring at Schrödinger's cat, immersed in the expanding universe and thinking about quantum theory, and you enjoy it immensely."
