Description



About the Book



"#1 bestselling science writer for kids Chris Ferrie is back with the bullsh*t... but this time instead of taking down all the pseudoscience related to quantum physics, he's examining today's more suspect mind/body/spirit fads, including astrology, cosmic energy, aliens, young earth theories, and other "space" themes"--



Book Synopsis



A hilarious guide to what's real (and what's not) in our vast, beautiful (and terrifying) universe.

From the creator of Quantum Bullsh*t comes an even bolder, sharper, and funnier guide to what's not real in our vast, beautiful (and occasionally absurd) cosmos. In Cosmic Bullsh*t: A Guide to the Galaxy's Worst Life Hacks, Chris Ferrie takes on astrology, alien conspiracies, creation myths, time travel, and other wildly popular pseudoscientific beliefs--and dissects them with clarity, irreverence, and a PhD-level scalpel.

With a tone that's equal parts stand-up and science seminar, Ferrie explains not just why these ideas are wrong, but why we keep believing them. If you've ever rolled your eyes at cosmic nonsense but secretly wondered "what if...?", this is the book that satisfies your curiosity while sharpening your BS detector. Perfect for fans of Bill Nye, Neil deGrasse Tyson, satirical science podcasts, and skeptical nonfiction that entertains while it educates.



Review Quotes




"All too many people make their living by trying to trick us into giving them money or attention based on false ideas about how our universe works; happily, Chris Ferrie is not one of them. In Cosmic Bullsh*t, Ferrie treats these cosmic grifters with the withering scorn they richly deserve, and along the way introduces the amazing (and real) physics and astronomy behind the origin, contents, and eventual fate of the entire universe." -- Chad Orzel, international bestselling author of Breakfast with Einstein and How to Teach Quantum Physics to Your Dog
