An exploration of why the various branches of science are important.

They look just like an ordinary cat and dog but there's more to these furry friends than fluffy tails and wet noses. Most pets are only interested in where their next meal is coming from but not Marvin and Milo. They want to know much more. They want to find out how the world works and why things float, fly and fall.

In an uncertain age, economists are asking, What if growth stops growing?; scientists, What if light speed gets overtaken?; and politicians, What if the third world becomes the first? This book challenges a team of scholars to experiment with 50 topical science speculations, at a time when the hunt for the Higgs boson...

This is the ultimate master class in modern physics. World-class physicist and father of string theory Leonard Sussking and citizen-scientist George Hrabovsky combine forces in a primer that teachers the skills you need to do physics yourself.
