Throughout history, scientists have come up with theories and ideas that just don’t seem to make sense. These we call paradoxes. The paradoxes Al-Khalili offers are drawn chiefly from physics and astronomy and represent those that have stumped some of the finest minds. For example, how can a cat be both dead and alive at the same time? Why will Achilles never beat a tortoise in a race, no matter how fast he runs? And how can a person be ten years older than his twin?
With elegant explanations that bring the reader inside the mind of those who’ve developed them, Al-Khalili helps us to see that, in fact, paradoxes can be solved if seen from the right angle. Just as surely as Al-Khalili narrates the enduring fascination of these classic paradoxes, he reveals their underlying logic. In doing so, he brings to life a select group of the most exciting concepts in human knowledge. Paradox is mind-expanding fun.

The basic layout of this book is that the author has picked nine “paradoxes” that he teaches in his classes and then spends each chapter telling why nearly all of them are not actually paradoxes if you understand them properly. If you go into this expecting some sort of deep physics text you’re going to be disappointed. If you go into this expecting some sort of quick explanation that requires no understanding of physics you’ll also be disappointed. If you go into it is light reading that will at least give you the basic understanding of things I think you’ll enjoy the great deal.
