Story
Throughout history, scientists have come up with theories and ideas that just don't seem to make sense. These we call paradoxes. The paradoxes Al-Khalili offers are drawn chiefly from physics and astronomy and represent those that have stumped some of the finest minds. With elegant explanations that bring the listener inside the mind of those who've developed them, Al-Khalili helps us to see that, in fact, paradoxes can be solved if seen from the right angle.

Fantastic is missing facts
Didn’t even have to fact check this one. According to this book i”t would take a commercials jet flying at altitude 7 hours to fly around the largest star in the universe”. Umm, seriously? I played it back several times waiting for them to say the jet would have to travel at the speed of light but that clarification never occurred. Don’t waste your time on a trivia fact book that gets the facts wrong. Sloppy is suspect.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
