Riddles in Your Teacup

Natural phenomena and ordinary, everyday things often contain surprises and puzzles when we try to understand them in terms of basic physical principles. More than this, trying to explain what we see around us can even help us to understand physical principles more fully: in his autobiography, Richard Feynman attributes his Nobel prize to his observations of a wobbling plate in the Cornell University cafe. This fascinating book sets many riddles based on these phenomena, some simple and others requiring real insight - answers are given! At the end are a few riddles that have as yet defied explanation.This book will appeal to a wide readership.
