Story
In The Quantum Universe, Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw approach the world of quantum mechanics in the same way they did in Why Does E=mc2? and make fundamental scientific principles accessible - and fascinating - to everyone.The subatomic realm has a reputation for weirdness, spawning any number of profound misunderstandings, journeys into Eastern mysticism, and woolly pronouncements on the interconnectedness of all things. Cox and Forshaw's contention? There is no need for quantum mechanics to be viewed this way.

More fun facts shared
I have actually listened to several of the books by this author and I really enjoy them because there are so many fun facts I learn. I listen to these types of books while I work because it makes my day go by faster. For this book, I really enjoyed learning about the various transportation, how they have helped our societies, how they impact us, impact the environment, and how they have shifted over time. The author also shares some pretty cool places to go like a train ride that costs thousands of dollars but it is a week-long trip and you are immersed in the country's beauty.
Fun books to learn fun facts. Great to listen to in the car or the office to pass the time.

A virtual adventure
The development of various means of transportation accompanies the civilization of our world. From automobiles and trains to airplanes, scientists and engineers never stop pursuing better and more efficient vehicles. In this audiobook 'Rolling Beyond the Horizon', the author introduces the fascinating history of trains: How was the train invented, how did it evolve, and the sciences and technologies involved in crafting the best train. Plus, the author presents the most noteworthy trains in the world, which is eye-opening. The iconic railways such as the Trans-Siberian Railway and the Swiss Glacier Express are legendary. I highly recommend this audiobook to anyone fascinated by the train's wonders!

A lot great information in this audiobook!
There is a lot of information in this audiobook about trains and their history. A friend suggested that we take the train on our next trip. I wasn't at all interested in it before I listened to this audiobook. But now I'm really excited. It is an interesting listen and covers so much information. I highly recommend it.
