This is in the same vein as Zen Science: Stop and Smell the Universe by John Javna, and annoyed me just as much.

It could have been much better organized. It lacks a table of contents.

Did appreciate the end where it talks about the half-life of knowledge, however I think it gets some of it wrong or perhaps it was just written poorly.

This book makes me think of that obnoxious kid in 7th grade science class that points out ‘I'm not actually touching you, nothing actually ever touches.'

I did appreciate it explaining some etymology of certain words.
