Did you know that the number of atoms in a cookie is about the same as the number of stars in the universe ? Geoff Engelstein tackles the big questions of the Universe and how it works using the sweet, simple chocolate chip cookie as guide. By exploring what goes into the cookie-the ingredients and the steps-we learn about how everything works, from the tiny world of subatomic particles to galactic clusters. Filled with fascinating facts and laugh-out-loud moments, it's a richly visual and deeply fascinating scientific exploration of the world. And cookies. A must for fans of Randall Munroe! Topics include: The Big Bang Explained with Chocolate Chips. Quantum Mechanics Explained with Milk and Cookies. Chaos Explained with Vanilla. And more !
