Testa teorierna om kraften i din hjärna, avslöja vetenskapsmännens märkligaste hemligheter och ta reda på vad som händer i din kropp när du sover. En bok i serien Förfärliga Fakta.

Undrar du vilka krafter det är som styr jorden, universum och allting? Och vilka det var som en gång upptäckte dem? I så fall är det här boken för dig. Här får du veta: - hur tyngdkraften kan få dig att tappa huvudet - varför dina öron hindrar dig från att ramla av cykeln - vad det är som kan få dina plomber att explodera. Upptäck vad som håller kvar månen i rymden, hur snabbt dina naglar växer ... och vad som händer när ett äpple landar på en forskares skalle. Med faktalistor och frågesporter, lärartester och många illustrationer bevisar "Krafter att räkna med" att du inte behöver formler för att förstå fysikens lagar.
