review 1: I'm posting this review for Elly S. She wrote a wonderful review of this book that shouldn't go unpublished. Here's what she wrote...."First off, I love these books and the entire series but of course, what do you expect from a book by Dan Green. This book gives a simple explnation with words. It explains things so easy readers will understand. This book lists every type and theory in the same format of the other books. This book and the others explains things from the theory persepctive and sounds like a human. The characters epxlains on its own and it's impossible for someone not to be charmed by this book.I give it 4 out of 5 stars because it didn't have enough details in the beginning.
review 2: Physics concepts given Pokeman-like identities, faces, ... more& outfits.My favorite physics concept has always been Entropy:"I am the king of chaos - a mixed-up prankster who makes sure that energy always changes from useful forms to messed-up, spread-out forms. A renowned troublemaker, I'm the reason why things break and burn out, and I'll get you, too, in the end. Ultimately, I'll cause your body's cells to degrade and stop working properly and you'll die."I always increase, and I work in one direction only - things NEVER get neater unless you put in some effort. Gasoline has lots of potential energy tied up in its arrangement of atoms, but when it explodes, this stored energy is spread out irreversibly. The chaos has increased, so there's more of me. Hurrah! In short, I create havoc. This is why it's pointless cleaning your room - because the universe is working against you." pg. 36 less
