The Spacy Timetures of Sparco Tilo by Riya TyagiMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
In The Spacy Timetures of Sparco Tilo, the young author takes us on a tour of the mysterious world of quantum physics as relayed to her by the great traveler of all our universes, Sparco Tilo.
Do you want to know how best to travel through a black hole without having your body distorted beyond repair? Or maybe you want to know how to program matter so that you can build something out of thin air? These things, and much more, you will learn in Part 1.
But hold onto your hat (or your MatterDoer86!), because Part 2 will bring you back to planet earth with very practical explanations of holograms, wave functions, electron bubbles and quantum computing. And to wrap up this cruise through the nature of matter and energy, Riya, the author, finishes strong with definitions of quantum physics, negative mass, antimatter, quantum entanglement, and more.
This middle-school student has much knowledge to impart and she succeeds! Even if you are like me, with no gift for grasping complex theories in science, you will learn volumes from Miss Tyagi. She has the brain of a scientist and the soul of a teacher. Her illustrations are lively and engaging, too!
Riya says that Sparco Tilo uncovered many secrets while traveling through space and as he relayed these to her, she was fortunate to be his listener. Well, I was fortunate to be her listener and you will be, too.
Two thumbs up for the real and the unreal as revealed to us by Miss Tyagi. I look forward to more good things from this author.
