Description

Do robots have emotions? What would happen if you jumped into a black hole? Can plants … hear things? Find the answers to these and even more far-flung questions in this quirky, super-stuffed curiosity quencher. Some questions have simple answers. And other questions? Well, it’s complicated. That’s where this book comes in. We’re tackling head-scratching—sometimes serious and sometimes totally wacky—questions whose answers aren’t so black and white. We’ll dig into the possibilities, analyze the what-ifs, and give plenty of science to back it up. In these pages, explore the deepest depths of the ocean, the farthest edges of our universe, the ancient past, and dreams of the future. Find out what’s stopping us from digging a hole right through the center of planet Earth. (And what it would be like if we could!) Tackle the ins and outs of living in virtual reality, find out whether fish feel wet all the time, and get a sightseeing checklist for a vacation to the moon. You’ll also read interviews with experts wrestling big questions—like “What will the toys of tomorrow look like?” and “How do you find a dinosaur in the middle of the desert?”—and discover the truth behind myths busted. (No, your eyes won’t pop out if you keep them open while you sneeze.) Featuring vibrant photographs, snackable fun facts, and in-depth, easy-to-understand answers to your most mind-blowing questions, this book is the perfect companion for curious dreamers of all ages. Get answers to these questions … Will we ever be able to talk to animals? How do we know we’re all seeing the same colors? How big is the universe? What happened to Amelia Earhart? Did pirates really make people walk the plank? Is there anywhere left to explore? Why do sloths travel so far to poop? … AND MANY MORE!
