Science but not as we know it: cutting-edge concepts made simple

Science But Not As We Know It takes complex scientific ideas and breaks them down for the non-scientist, from explaining the size of the Universe, to how black holes work, Schroedinger's cat and the Higgs boson.

Difficult ideas and theories are compared to everyday things we are familiar with - forces become armies and electrons have personalities.
