Funny Facts of Physics

by William J. Veigele, Ph. D

Some things around you seem strange, funny. In your everyday life, some things exist or happen that you don’t understand or that you don’t even know about. Why? Because you are not as large as a galaxy or as small as an electron. You can’t drift out trillions of miles into the universe or shrink down to the very small world. What’s more, you can’t keep pace with a beam of light. You live somewhere in the middle in size and other characteristics of all objects in the universe. So it is hard to understand the world beyond your everyday experience. This book, in brief chapters without mathematical complications, takes you to some of those unseen places and unexpected events and explains why they appear funny
