By simplifying the math and forgoing the often-confusing technical jargon, Teller helps the reader break through physic’s bewildering formulas and equations and get to the wonders of our physical universe. A timeless and personal explanation of the importance of physics in our life, Conversations on the Dark Secrets of Physics is certain to become a classic.
