Extracts from the book:
Impossibility
If ever a truly eminent man of science over the age of 55 pronounces with great conviction that something is impossible, it is a safe bet that he will be proved wrong shortly.
Ad infinitum
Although it has not been conclusively proven, there are those who believe that quarks may not be points occupying no space, which would mean that they in turn were made up of even smaller particles. This would come as no surprise to the bluffer, who worships the dictum: Big fleas have little fleas upon their backs to bite em, and little fleas have lesser fleas and so ad infinitum.

"Excellent book. Brian Malpass makes science accessible and puts it in context, all with his tongue firmly in his cheek. This will leave you with lots of stunning snippets to drop at dinner parties and make yourself look informed."
