A fun and fascinating introduction to quantum physics and the mysteries of our universe from astrophysicist and STEM ambassador Professor Lisa Harvey-Smith.

All things in the universe are governed by the laws of science – but what happens when nature acts in unexpected ways? Why does the bizarre behaviour of tiny particles in the quantum world bamboozle us? How can objects on opposite sides of the universe be connected?

Come on a journey to meet the invisible forces that guide everything from the smallest atom to the shape of the cosmos. Blow your mind with theories of space and time. Travel through the galaxies to discover black holes, gravitational waves and so much more with award-winning astrophysicist Professor Lisa Harvey-Smith.

With fantastic illustrations by Aidan Ryan, Quarks, Sparks and Quantum Mysteries reminds us that the scientific truth is often stranger than fiction.
