Description

Time is Totally Weird

Explore the Strangest Force in the Universe!

What is time, really? Why does it tick forward and never backward? Does it move the same for everyone? Could time ever stop or even be traveled through?

In Time is Totally Weird, you'll uncover the strangest truths about time: how it bends near black holes, stretches on speeding spaceships, and disappears in the quantum world. You'll learn how ancient people told time with shadows, candles, and even incense, and how today's scientists use atomic clocks to keep time with vibrating atoms.

With wild thought experiments, time travel tales from science fiction, and real-life science that's stranger than fiction, this book invites you on a mind-bending journey through the fourth dimension. Get ready to question everything you thought you knew about clocks, calendars, and the nature of now.

Perfect for curious tweens and teenagers who love weird facts, big questions, and peeking behind the curtain of the universe.
