The Universe Explained

The Star’s Oakland Ross wanted to understand how the universe works. But there was a slight problem: like many people, he was allergic to math. He decided to grapple with the cosmos anyway, reading many daunting books and spending hours on the phone with theoretical physicists. His six-part primer on the current state of the universe first ran in the Toronto Star, and now it’s available as the Star Dispatches ebook The Universe Explained: Guaranteed 99% Math Free. It's a witty, fun ramble through concepts such as relativity, gravity, space-time and other crazy stuff. Well, more fun that if were chockablock with math.

Star Dispatches is a weekly series of quality journalism in ebook form from the newsroom of the Toronto Star, Canada's largest newspaper.
