But like many simple questions, this one leads readers on a far-flung quest for a final answer, a search that encompasses such fascinating phenomena as light and electricity and their components--strange but real bits of matter that challenge our assumptions about the very nature of time and space. 40 illustrations.Asimov, Isaac is the author of 'Atom Journey Across the Subatomic Cosmos' with ISBN 9780452268340 and ISBN 0452268346.
