great science book for middle high school students

It is a great science book and eye-opening experience for middle and high school students. There are so many mysteries/fact/unknowns in the Universe and this book presents in a humorous way so students are easy to understand. This book also teaches a lot of physics and will inspire young science lovers to explore more about universe. The time travel and black hole sections are interesting, it is hard to image how time can complete stop in the proximity of blackhole due to intense gravity. Great read for young universe lovers.

Loved this listen!

First I will say, though I am intrigued by science and all things about Space, I have never been very "sciency-brained". I'm just not built for excelling at it. But I LOVED this book! I don't know if it was the humor that just kept my mind more interested that it usually is in technical subjects, but this was just wonderful. I learned so much, and I'm in my 40s! The book simplify complex topics, and the narrator was also great. Highly recommend!

What the Quark?

Thank s is an immensely entertaining audiobook. It is jam packed with quantum physics and facts about the vast universe we live in.

This author does a super fantastical job of turning science and complicated theories into magically fun learning.

If you love science, space, and quantum physics like I do, then grab this up. This audiobook is also a great way to get your kids interested in science. There are no boring flat lectures here. The narration is lively and engaging. The most complex scientific understandings are put in a way that allows just about anyone to wrap their heads around what is going on -- well, as much as possible anyway, because as the book mentions, even the most highly respected of quantum physicists don't fully understand everything involved.

Oscar Joe Washington is quickly becoming one of my favorites. I highly recommend this audiobook to any science or space buff.

Comprehensive Guide

This was the ideal audiobook for our vacation in the car with the family. As was the case with us, the author does an excellent job of taking what may be a difficult subject matter and breaking it down into manageable bits. This makes it possible for someone who does not have a formal background in physics or astronomy to grasp the material. The narrative's use of comedy, which helped provide a feeling of lightheartedness to what could be seen as a weightier subject matter due to its focus on our physical existence, was unquestionably enjoyed and appreciated. Highly recommend it.

It said quarks...

Great book but it says that it talks about quarks and it barely said two sentences LOL. I was really trying to learn a little bit more than just acknowledging it.. overall it was great but it was stuff I already knew I was here for the quarks and did not get them. I also did not find the humor funny but it was cute.

Unravel the mysteries of our cosmos

It is a captivating book that beautifully blends knowledge and humor to unravel the mysteries of our cosmos. It's like having an animated scientist as your guide, breaking down complex topics into bite-sized pieces. Each chapter is an adventure into the unknown, with titles that made me both curious and chuckle.

This isn't just educational; it's a cosmic joyride that leaves you both enlightened and entertained. The narrator's dynamic and engaging voice adds an extra layer of charm to the book, making the journey through the universe even more enjoyable. Their ability to convey complex concepts with enthusiasm and clarity keeps you hooked from start to finish. Highly Recommended!
