"60-Second Science" von Scientific American ist der erfolgreichste wissenschaftliche Podcast in den USA. Komplexe Themen werden in 60 Sekunden brillant auf den Punkt gebracht. Für die Bücher bedeutet das: ein Thema, zwei Seiten! Hier sind erstmals alle 3 Bände in Einem - 680 Seiten: Physik, Weltall und Gehirn! Ohne einen Tropfen Schweiß zu vergeuden, lernen wir, was Quarks und Multiversen sind oder die Unschärferelation und die Kopenhagener Deutung, Schwarze Löcher, Quantenkatzen, Plasma und Solarenergie. Wo Einstein pfuschte, wie der iPod zustande kam, was Antimaterie ist und wieso Licht dem Baywatch-Prinzip gehorcht und wie man es anhalten kann, warum Zeitreisen möglich sind oder, dass Benzin über 700-mal so explosiv ist wie eine Gewehrkugel. "Auch ohne Vorwissen leicht zu verstehen!" (Popular Science). Enthält die folgenden drei Bände: - Physik für Eierköpfe (Wissenschaft in 60 Sekunden) - Weltall für Eierköpfe (Wissenschaft in 60 Sekunden) - Das Gehirn für Eierköpfe (Wissenschaft in 60 Sekunden)
