SUMMARY
Find out inside: Which famous stargazer had a metal nose? Which type of waves make popcorn pop? How did an apple and a dog change science forever? Physics is the science of matter and energy. It deals with heat and sound, forces such as gravity, and answers a lot of questions about everyday occurrences. Physicists risked their lives with dangerous experiments. Read about the monk who tried to fly like a bird, how bathtime proved a gold crown was fake, and why electric shocks were measured by how high they made people jump. What's inside? dramatic photographs and illustrations, amazing facts and true stories, historical backgrounds to set the scene. Book jacket.John Townsend is the author of 'Foolish Physics (Weird History of Science)', published 2007 under ISBN 9781410923776 and ISBN 1410923770.
