Es ist ein echtes Wunder, dass es die Menschheit gibt! Eigentlich spricht alles gegen unser Überleben in einem feindlichen Universum – sogar die Lebensbedingungen auf der Erde. Wenn aber alle Faktoren gegen uns sind – wie kommt es, dass wir trotzdem existieren? Das Universum, dieses perfekte und faszinierende System, macht offenbar auch Fehler. Besonders was die Menschheit betrifft, findet Chris Ferrie. Alles um uns herum kann uns töten, buchstäblich alles ist Gift für uns, selbst der Sauerstoff, den wir zum Atmen brauchen. Die Erdatmosphäre ist so einzigartig, dass wir damit auf der Erde gefangen sind und vermutlich nirgendwo anders leben können. Dazu noch die ewig währende Frage: Sind wir allein im Universum? Oder gibt es einen anderen Grund, warum wir noch immer kein außerirdisches Leben finden konnten? Chris Ferrie nimmt uns in „42 Gründe, das Universum zu hassen“ mit auf eine unterhaltsame Erkundungsreise durch unser Universum und die Welt, wie wir sie zu kennen glauben, und zeigt uns, dass die Menschheit es nur sich selbst zu verdanken hat, dass sie heute noch am Leben ist. Doch auch in all dieser Dunkelheit gibt es einen Hoffnungsschimmer. Den einen Grund, warum wir das Universum trotzdem lieben sollten. Warum es faszinierend, großartig und trotz aller Widrigkeiten wunderschön ist, dieses Universum erforschen zu können. Das Überleben der Menschheit im Universum, betrachtet aus einer neuen und überraschenden Perspektive Wissenschaftlich fundiert, dabei leicht verständlich und so lustig erklärt wie noch nie "In einem Multiversum voller dystopischer Möglichkeiten sollten wir einfach dankbar sein, dass wir in einem Universum leben, in dem dieses Buch existiert" - Philip Moriarty, Professor für Physik an der University of Nottingham

Que no te digan, que no te cuenten ... Este libro te explica, de manera clara y muy divertida, lo que sí es la física cuántica. En realidad, ¿qué es la física cuántica? Si puedes responder esta pregunta sin engañar a la persona que se encuentra junto a ti en la librería, entonces deja de leer ahora mismo. Aunque la mayoría de nosotros no entendemos realmente la física cuántica, sabemos que es mística e impresionante y creemos que si la entendiéramos tal vez seríamos ricos, hermosos y felices, ¿verdad? Después de todo, hay mucha gente que intenta venderte cristales cuánticos para alinear tu energía cuántica con tu destino cuántico. ¿Será que están todos equivocados? Espóiler: sí lo están. No existen los cristales cuánticos. ¡Lo siento! Por fortuna, a medida que la pseudociencia se apodera de internet y cada vez es más difícil diferenciar los hechos alternativos de la ciencia, Chris Ferrie (¡un físico cuántico real!) nos explica la física cuántica de una manera que tiene sentido para que podamos detectar a los mentirosos y merolicos a kilómetros de distancia y enseñarles lo que realmente es el entrelazamiento cuántico (no, no tiene nada que ver con el romance). Si amas la ciencia y quieres saber más que cuando despertaste esta mañana, entonces Mentiras cuánticas es EL libro para ti.

Sind wir mal ehrlich: Von dieser mysteriösen Quantenphysik gehört haben wir alle schon mal, aber verstehen tun sie die wenigsten. Und dann wäre da ja auch noch die Esoterik, die inzwischen längst auf den Quantenzug aufgesprungen ist. So stößt man bei einer schnellen Amazon-Suche viel schneller auf Bücher über heilsbringende Quantenenergien und allerlei pseudowissenschaftliche Theorien statt auf wirklich verständliche Sachbücher, die die Wunder der Quantenphysik verständlich erklären. Zeit, das zu ändern, dachte sich Quantenphysiker und Kultautor Chris Ferrie und entführt seine Leser mit "Quanten-Bullshit" in die wundersame Welt der Quanten. Leichtfüßig, intelligent und urkomisch erklärt er die Grundlagen der Quantenphysik und entkräftet gleichzeitig esoterische Fake News und Pseudowissenschaften.

"Think you can open the door? Think again!" challenges Chris Ferrie in this wildly engaging book that's part engineering lesson, part interactive riot. "You Can't Open the Door" isn't just a book-it's a playful dare, a brain-teasing adventure, and a hands-on science class rolled into one. In the spirit of groundbreaking books like "This is a ball" and "The Book with No Pictures," this one-of-a-kind journey dares kids and curious adults to crack the code of opening a door. But it's not just about turning a knob; it's a whirlwind tour through the mechanics that make it possible: cams, spindles, and the unseen wonders that make a door swing open (or stay maddeningly shut). With every page, readers are taunted to figure out the mechanics, challenged to think outside the box, and invited to giggle at their own bafflement. "You Can't Open the Door" turns learning into an exhilarating challenge, making complex concepts like mechanical advantage and rotational force as absorbing as they are fun. Will you outsmart the book? Can you master the mechanics? Or will the door remain forever closed to you? There's only one way to find out. Get ready to push, pull, twist, and laugh your way through a book that educates as much as it entertains. Perfect for curious minds eager to learn how things work and for anyone who loves a good challenge. "You Can't Open the Door" promises a journey filled with laughter, learning, and the irresistible challenge of proving the book wrong.

If you''ve always suspected the universe was out to get you... you were right! Yes, the universe we live in is cosmically beautiful and mysterious and all that crap. But it''s also a bit of an asshole. After all, remember that you are just a group of atoms structured in a specific way for barely long enough to try to understand this thing we call existence. Those atoms could just have easily been used to make the dog shit you''re cleaning off your shoe or the mold that grows on your bread! The fact is, when you zoom out to look at the universe and how it functions, you''ll see that it''s usually not in our favor, and many of the laws of physics are actively working against our survival. In this book, you''ll discover why: You''re an aging mutant Invisible rays are melting our genetic code The Earth is covered in explosive pimples Literally everything is poisonous And more true and terrifying scientific facts! But don''t worry! While it''s true that there are (at least) forty-two grudges to hold against the universe, the good news is that there is also one very good reason to forgive them all and embrace the wild, improbable fact that we are alive (for now) and we should take advantage of it while we can. 42 Reasons to Hate the Universe (And One Reason Not To) is a hilarious, no-holds-barred exploration of all the reasons we shouldn''t exist—but somehow do anyway. Rooted in scientific research but written simply so that evolved apes such as ourselves can understand where the heck we came from and where we''re likely going, this book is for all the nerds and nihilists who know they''re going down in the end but want to enjoy the rollercoaster ride of existence on the way.

Science is so f*cking rad. We don''t deserve it. What actually is quantum physics? If you can answer that questions without bullsh*tting the person standing next to you in the bookstore, you can stop reading right now. But although most of us don''t actually understand quantum physics, we know that it''s mystical and awesome, and if we understood it we''d probably be rich and beautiful and happy, right? After all, there are plenty of people out there trying to sell you quantum crystals to align your quantum energy with your quantum destiny. Can they all be wrong? Spoiler: yes. Yes, they can. There is no such thing as quantum crystals. Sorry! Luckily, as pseudo-science takes over the internet and it''s getting harder and harder to separate alternative facts from real science, Chris Ferrie (an actual quantum physicist!) is here to explain quantum physics in a way that makes sense, so you can see the hucksters and bullsh*tters coming from a mile away—and school them in what quantum entanglement actually is (it has nothing to do with your romantic life). If you f*cking love science and want to be slightly less dumb than you were when you woke up this morning, Quantum Bullsh*t is the truly out-of-this-world book for you.
