Download Spectrums: Our Mind-Boggling Universe from Infinitesimal to Infinity AudioBook Free
In Spectrums, David Blatner blends narrative and illustration to illuminate all of the spectrums that impact our lives every day: amounts, size, light, sound, temperature, and time. There is in fact remarkably little in the universe that people can feel, touch, see, notice, or perhaps even comprehend. It's not an easy process to stretch your brain to encompass both billions of years and billionths of secs; the length to Jupiter and how big is a proton; the small waves of obvious light and gargantuan but invisible gamma rays; or the freezing point of helium and the heat produced by the blast of an atom bomb. But exploring these far-reaching spectrums provides us invaluable perspective on our small but not insignificant put in place the universe. With easy-to-comprehend, interesting, and insightful observations, and great photos and diagrams, Blatner helps us "grok" - to comprehend intuitively - the six key spectrums, making our daily lives richer and more meaningful through better appreciation of the bizarre and beautiful world where we live.
