Joe Schwarcz

In this new collection of bite-size pop science essays, bestselling author, chemistry professor, and radio broadcaster Dr. Joe Schwarcz shows that you can find science virtually anywhere you look. And the closer you look, the more fascinating it becomes. In this volume, we look through our magnifying glass at maraschino cherries, frizzy hair, duct tape, pickle juice, yellow school buses, aphrodisiacs, dental implants, and bull testes. If those don’t tickle your fancy, how about aconite murders, shot towers, book smells, Swarovski crystals, French wines, bees, or head transplants? You can also learn about the scientific escapades of James Bond, California’s confusing Proposition 65, the problems with oxygen on Mars, Valentine’s Meat Juice, the benefits of pasteurization, the pros and cons of red light therapy, the controversy swirling around perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), why English cucumbers are wrapped in plastic, and how probiotics may have seeded Hitler’s downfall.

		why “superfood” is a marketing term, not a scientific one;
		why plastic wrap is sometimes the environmental choice;
		why supplements to reduce inflammation may just reduce your bank account;

Theory of Relativity -...

Mark Hedges

The early 20th century marked a turning point in physics, as classical mechanics, which had been the foundation of scientific thought for centuries, began to show limitations in explaining certain phenomena. Isaac Newton’s laws of motion and gravitation had provided an elegant and highly successful framework for understanding the physical world, but as experimental techniques improved, inconsistencies began to emerge. The most significant of these was the behavior of light and electromagnetism, which did not conform to Newtonian mechanics. This contradiction laid the groundwork for one of the most revolutionary theories in science—Einstein’s theory of relativity. 
At the heart of the problem was the nature of light. Classical physics assumed that waves needed a medium to propagate, much like sound waves require air or water waves need a surface. This led scientists to propose the existence of an invisible substance known as the luminiferous ether, which was thought to permeate space and serve as the medium for electromagnetic waves. However, experimental efforts to detect the ether, most notably the Michelson-Morley experiment in 1887, failed to find any evidence of its existence. This posed a major challenge to classical mechanics, as it suggested that light did not require a medium and always traveled at the same speed, regardless of the observer’s motion.
