Ben Miller is a British comedian and actor who has a love of science and has published two books trying the explain the complex scientific theories to the general public.
In the book he takes a stab at explaining DNA, Evolution, Black Holes, Relativity, Quantum Physics and Cosmology.
It was a refreshing approach to the subjects and I appreciated the humor infused in it.
At one point I had an "A-Ha!" moment when he explained the time paradox but then I lost it again. The theory that time runs at different speeds depending on where you are still throws me. Why should a clock run faster or slower if it is on a speeding spaceship or on a planet?
It is a good book to have on hand when the conversation turns to science. It would make for an easy recommendation to somebody who is trying to get a better understanding of the large-picture aspects of scientific knowledge.
If you like Bill Nye then you will like this book too.
