It's okay
If you really have nothing else to read then this book will pass a few hours. I suspect many 'facts' books are like this one, so it's probably brilliant if you love that sort of thing.

awesome
leaving 5 stars so the algorithm recommends similar.
a good book to have on in the background as you can dip in and out when you like. each fact is about 2 mins long and different chapters so very easy to jump around

Absolutely terrible
Sounded interesting however is absolutely terrible and includes validation of pseudoscience as part of the narrative. Avoid

Too Many Incorrect Answers
For example when talking about time travel the author says that we would need to travel faster than light in order to look at past events on distant stars - "see the light actually being sent". We wouldn't need to travel faster than light (if we did the light would never be able to catch us), We do not need to speed up, we only need to look.
When we look at the sun we see what it looked like 8 minutes ago (we don't need to travel faster than light to see that), A star that is four light years away means we see what it looked like four years ago when the light we see left the star.
The author also claims that time is sometimes not constant. It's never constant. The faster we move relative to someone else, or the stronger a gravitational field we are in compared to them then the slower our gray hairs grow, the slower our blood flows, the slower 'time' flows for us, the slower our clocks tick and our hearts beat compared to that person.
