Paradox: The Nine Greatest Enigmas in Physics explores some of the strangest puzzles in science and shows how they can be understood with the right perspective. Drawing on classic problems in physics and astronomy, it asks why some of our best theories seem to clash with everyday logic.
From Schrödinger’s cat that appears both dead and alive, to Achilles who can never quite catch a tortoise, to twins who age at different rates, each paradox is unpacked in clear, accessible language. The author walks through the original problem, the confusion it caused, and the modern insights that resolve it.
Along the way, readers are introduced to key ideas in quantum theory, relativity, infinity, and the nature of time and space. Rather than dry textbook explanations, the book uses stories and thought experiments to make deep concepts vivid and memorable.

This seller was incredible. I purchased an inexpensive (used) book and was almost immediately notified that it shipped on the same day I ordered it. I received it within 2 days. It was exactly as described - it looked like it had never even been read! Great service & a great product. Thanks!
