Description

What happens to a cat who goes through a wormhole

Tom Gauld returns with Physics for Cats, his second collection of science-based cartoons for the New Scientist. Find out why every scientist worth his sodium chloride has a Tom Gauld cartoon taped to his electron microscope. This new batch of hilarious gags will be as important to every self-respecting scientist as a lab coat and goggles and oversize rubber gloves.

Find out what the hadron's news alert about CERN says! Everyone asks, "What is dark matter" and "Where is dark matter" but do they ever take the time to ask, "How is dark matter" Based all on previous data, we can predict with a 99.99% certainty that you will either laugh, guffaw, chortle or snort (we don't have a large enough sample set to be able to say which particular type of mirth you will experience.)

Reviews

Gauld is my favourite hyber-minimalist brainiac cartoonist -- WILLIAM GIBSON
Tom Gauld might just be the Edward Gorey of our time, channelling his wry humour and macabre aesthetic through exquisite black-and-white illustrations -- MARIA POPOVA
