Take a tour of the Universe with Bob and Alec

A simple solution to the 'What will I get them for their birthday' problem. Have you ever wondered why everything in the Universe fits together the way it does? Or why we're the fortunate inheritors of a very rare planetary oasis that has the amazing ability to create, evolve and support life forms such as ours? Given that human life on the planet started only 200,000 years ago, how have we been able to make such giant strides in our knowledge of the world around us from the largest to the smallest scale? Knowledge that has enabled us to put people on the Moon, look inside atoms, and has given us all the technological goodies that today we take for granted. '18 Holes of Quantum Golf is a story that shows the true value of friendship. It's a book that encourages passion toward one's goals in life and I love how the author used two senior citizens playing a round of golf to highlight the importance of caring, friendship, love, marriage and, most importantly, to explain how science has enabled us to gain a better understanding about the world around us. Also, I loved the addition of humour in between the lines of the story which adds to the point that the author is explaining. As a lover of history and a science enthusiast, tho' not a golfer, this was a delightful read. The book will be educational for people who want an easy introduction to the growth of science and the many impacts it has had on our modern world.' - Reviewed in Online Book Club - February 2022. This is the amazing tale of how we've built up this knowledge over the last 2,800 years starting with Thales in the Greek city state of Miletus right up to our current understanding by way of Aristotle, Galileo, Newton, Einstein and many other deep thinkers. It explains why scientists throughout the world are co-operating in the Large Hadron Collider project to reveal the secrets of the sub-atomic world and why, along with the new James Web Space Telescope's amazing views of the Universe, this will hopefully enable science to explain the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy which fills 95% of the Universe. Unlike most popular science books, this story's told during a round of golf by Bob and Alec, two senior citizens who've been best pals since their first day at primary school. They tell it in their everyday chatty language with no technical jargon for the reader to puzzle over so if you're looking for a simple explanation of the world around us, and why 90% of the scientists who have ever lived are alive today, then this is the book for you. 18 Holes is available on Amazon as a paperback, hardcover or e-book at amazon.co.uk/18-Holes-Quantum-Golf-Universe/dp/B09JW5FDM2 or by google - 18 Holes of Quantum Golf. The book may also be bought as a birthday or other, gift and sent direct to the recipient with a personalised card by clicking 'Buy for others.' p.s.
