About the Book

Did you know that you could fit the whole human race in the volume of a sugar cube? Or that the electrical energy in a single mosquito is enough to cause a global mass extinction? Or that we are all, in fact, living in a giant hologram? Or perhaps, most importantly of all, out there in the universe there are an infinite number of copies of you reading an infinite number of copies of this? Using these impossible-sounding truths, Marcus Chown reveals some of the most significant scientific discoveries in human history about who we are, where we came from and the complexities and wonders of our universe. Witty, engaging and accessible, Infinity in the Palm of Your Hand brings to life the forces that rule our universe and reveals the intriguing details of our existence.

Review :
An ideal book for those who might not normally consider reading about science, making a great present for a teenager or adult. Excellent stuff. Mind-expanding stuff. This accessible book addresses all your questions about the Big Bang A genial tour of the universe and its mysteries... Heavy stuff lightly spun - just the thing for the science buff in the house. Taking a moment to praise Marcus Chown's new book, Infinity in the Palm of Your Hand - it's wonderful, you need to read it! A thought-provoking, funny guide to the universe, which even a science ignoramus like me can understand. If you are looking for a science book that is both illuminating and fun, then this is it.
