Summary

"Easy-to-follow and imaginative explanations about the extraordinary physics that invisibly guides our daily lives"--, Provided by publisherYou shut off your alarm clock, grab a slice of toast, check the weather on your tablet, and drive to the office. Kakalios takes you on the journey behind your journey: exploring the simple science behind motion sensors, touch screens, E-Z Pass, GPS, and more. Breaking down the world into a series of simple steps, he demonstrates that far from the abstractions conjured by terms like the Higgs Boson, black holes, and gravity waves, sophisticated science is also quite practical
