"#1 bestselling science writer for kids Chris Ferrie is back with the bullsh*t... but this time instead of taking down all the pseudoscience related to quantum physics, he's examining today's more suspect mind/body/spirit fads, including astrology, cosmic energy, aliens, young earth theories, and other "space" themes"--
A hilarious guide to what's real (and what's not) in our vast, beautiful (and terrifying) universe.
Embark on a cosmic journey through Cosmic Bullsh*t: A Guide to the Galaxy's Worst Life Hacks and uncover the real science behind some of the greatest lies society loves to tell us! Apologies to everyone who makes major life decisions based on their newspaper horoscope, but astrology isn't real and stars and planets don't give a sh*t about us. Planning a vacation to Roswell to finally discover the truth about aliens that the government has been hiding? Bad news—aliens were never here, and they aren't coming, either. Put on your myth-busting goggles and dig into Cosmic Bullsh*t for a nice, healthy dose of fascinating facts to cure the misinformation sickness so many of us are suffering from. Quantum physicist and bestselling science author Chris Ferrie explains:
- Why creation myths are bullsh*t and why humans have loved them for millennia anyway
- The misconceptions surrounding extraterrestrial life and why little green men aren't knocking on our door (spoiler alert: it's not because they're shy)
- The paradoxes and pitfalls of time travel
- How to brace yourself for the ultimate cosmic finale as we contemplate the fate of the universe
- And much more!
With Cosmic Bullsh*t, you'll laugh, you'll learn, and you'll never look at the universe the same way again. So buckle up, fellow space travelers, and prepare to have your minds blown by the weirdest, wildest, and most wondrous aspects of the cosmos.
