'This is one of those brilliant books where there is an amazing fact on every page showing just how much science underpins our everyday world.' – Mark Miodownik, author of It's a Gas: The Magnificent and Elusive Elements that Expand our World Have you ever found yourself wondering how to brew the perfect cup of coffee, finally rid your garden of snails or how to pull off a seamless Mexican wave? Well, wonder no more. Grounded in cutting-edge scientific research, this entertaining book answers these questions and many more, and explains what physics can reveal about so many seemingly ordinary aspects of your daily routine, from cooking breakfast and walking the dog to playing games and watching a film. So, whether you're navigating rush-hour traffic, choosing the best seat on a plane, or just trying to win at rock, paper, scissors, Physics Around the Clock shows that physics isn't just about lab experiments and equations – it's relevant to everything you do and is happening all around you, every second of every day.
