Our mathematical universe : my quest for the ultimate nature of reality / by Tegmark, Max,author.(CARDINAL)332266;
"Max Tegmark leads us on an astonishing journey through past, present, and future, and through the physics, astronomy and mathematics that are the foundation of his work, most particularly his hypothesis that our physical reality is a mathematical structure and his theory of the ultimate multiverse. In a dazzling combination of both popular and ground-breaking science, he not only helps us grasp his often mind-boggling theories (his website gives a flavor of how they might boggle the mind), but he also shares with us some of the often surprising triumphs and disappointments that have shaped his life as a scientist. Fascinating from first to last--here is a book for the full science-reading spectrum"--

Galileo's leaning tower experiment : a science adventure / by Macdonald, Wendy(Wendy Margaret)(CARDINAL)423933; Rui, Paolo,illustrator.(CARDINAL)543020; Rui, Paolo.(CARDINAL)543020;
In Italy, 1589, Massimo drops lunch to his uncle from a bridge, so the food falls into his uncle's boat. One day, Galileo notices that the bread and wheel of cheese land in the boat at the same time. But Aristotle had said that heavy things fall at a faster rate than light ones. Will Galileo and Massimo be able to prove Aristotle's theory wrong?2-4.AD560LAccelerated Reader ARA Junior Library Guild selection
