Nowadays, our scientific establishment makes out that they've definitely worked out all the important bits about reality, life, death, ourselves, the universe and well, everything. In fact, that's hokum because many brilliant physicists in the last century pointed out that a fundamentally different view of the universe had to be correct in order to solve major scientific paradoxes such as Schroedinger's Cat. This book describes what those Nobel-Prize winning scientists discovered and more, thereby explaining the true nature of reality, life, death, God, ghosts, the brain, the Big Bang, evolution, aliens, pyramids, particles, Atlantis and, most especially, corn-on-the-cob. It also has lots of appealing illustrations and the odd joke, so you won't get bored half-way through.
