Sinopsis:

Entertaining, informative, and enlightening! Educational, eyebrow-raising, and profound. Science has never been this much fun! Take a weird and wonderful tour of the every branch of science with this treat of stories, trivia, and facts!

From Earth’s weight gain thanks to the many tons of cosmic dust that falls on the planet each year to William A. Mitchell, the inventor of Tang, Cool Whip, and Pop Rocks candy, The Book of Facts and Trivia: Science combines the educational, profound, and trivial into a fascinating collection of science facts! You’ll learn about yourself and the world through hundreds of absorbing stories and interesting tidbits such as …

  • Kissing burns up to six calories per minute.
  • One teaspoon of neuron star weighs about 10 million tons.
  • There are more than 2 million ants for every single person on Earth. That’s approximately 20 quadrillion ants!
  • Neanderthals and Homo sapiens first mated tens of thousands of years ago.
  • Under the right conditions, some dogs - the super-scenters – can smell you some 12 miles away.
  • Nine out of 10 mothers of newborns, after having spent as little as 10 minutes with their babies, can identify their infant by smell.
  • The body of Marie Curie (1867-1934), the physicist who discovered radium, is still radioactive.
  • The first multiplication tables were used around 2000 B.C.E. by the Babylonians.
  • Star Trek characters used devices that looked and acted quite a bit like cell phones-well before the technology came to market. Touchscreen computers too.
  • And many more science facts!

    • An absorbing guide to science answers, The Book of Facts and Trivia will treat you to a smorgasbord of stories, trivia, and facts!
