Ferrie Chris Ferrie – författare

A hilarious guide to what''s real (and what''s not) in our vast, beautiful (and terrifying) universe.

From the creator of Quantum Bullsh*t comes an even bolder, sharper, and funnier guide to what''s not real in our vast, beautiful (and occasionally absurd) cosmos. In Cosmic Bullsh*t: A Guide to the Galaxy''s Worst Life Hacks, Chris Ferrie takes on astrology, alien conspiracies, creation myths, time travel, and other wildly popular pseudoscientific beliefs—and dissects them with clarity, irreverence, and a PhD-level scalpel.

With a tone that''s equal parts stand-up and science seminar, Ferrie explains not just why these ideas are wrong, but why we keep believing them. If you''ve ever rolled your eyes at cosmic nonsense but secretly wondered "what if...?", this is the book that satisfies your curiosity while sharpening your BS detector. Perfect for fans of Bill Nye, Neil deGrasse Tyson, satirical science podcasts, and skeptical nonfiction that entertains while it educates.

It''s time to bring Chris Ferrie''s unique brand of learning to the next level of readers beyond Baby University with a new series—Everyday Science Academy! Peek into a microscope with Dr. Chris and learn we are all made of atoms!

Looking through a microscope, Red Kangaroo discovers the world is full of small things her eyes can''t see. She asks Dr. Chris, "What''s one of the smallest things in the world?" In his lab, Dr. Chris introduces Red Kangaroo to the world of atoms—from protons to electrons to neutrons. In this addition to the Everyday Science Academy series, young scientists will gain the knowledge they need to begin mastering quantum physics!

Go on an awe-inspiring journey, unraveling the secrets of our universe from the tiniest particles to the vastness of space

In this thought-provoking exploration, physicists Chris Ferrie and Geraint F. Lewis delve into the fundamental questions that have puzzled humanity for centuries. What sparked the birth of the universe? How did matter and energy come into existence? With clarity and precision, Ferrie and Lewis navigate the realms of quantum physics, relativity, and cosmology, providing accessible explanations that engage both novices and enthusiasts.

Featuring a harmonious blend of scientific rigor and captivating storytelling, Where Did the Universe Come From? bridges the gap between complex concepts and everyday understanding.

Whether you''re an astrophysics enthusiast, a science student, or simply someone with a profound interest in the wonders of the universe, this comprehensive guide offers a rich tapestry of knowledge about the captivating wonders that surround us all.

Science is so f*cking rad. We don''t deserve it.

What actually is quantum physics? If you can answer that questions without bullsh*tting the person standing next to you in the bookstore, you can stop reading right now. But although most of us don''t actually understand quantum physics, we know that it''s mystical and awesome, and if we understood it we''d probably be rich and beautiful and happy, right? After all, there are plenty of people out there trying to sell you quantum crystals to align your quantum energy with your quantum destiny. Can they all be wrong?

Spoiler: yes. Yes, they can. There is no such thing as quantum crystals. Sorry!

Luckily, as pseudo-science takes over the internet and it''s getting harder and harder to separate alternative facts from real science, Chris Ferrie (an actual quantum physicist!) is here to explain quantum physics in a way that makes sense, so you can see the hucksters and bullsh*tters coming from a mile away—and school them in what quantum entanglement actually is (it has nothing to do with your romantic life). If you f*cking love science and want to be slightly less dumb than you were when you woke up this morning, Quantum Bullsh*t is the truly out-of-this-world book for you.
