Synopsis

All things in the universe are governed by the laws of science, but what happens when nature acts in unexpected ways? Why does the bizarre behavior of tiny particles in the quantum world bamboozle us? How can objects on opposite sides of the universe be connected?

In Quarks, Sparks and Quantum Mysteries, award-winning astrophysicist Professor Lisa Harvey-Smith takes young readers on a journey to meet the invisible forces that guide everything from the smallest atom to the shape of the cosmos, exploring theories of space and time, black holes, gravitational waves, and much more.
