The Dialogues: Conversations about the Nature of the Universe by Clifford V. Johnson

5.0

It is an absolute joy to experience new thoughts on cosmology in graphic novel form. Author, physics prof, and overall professional nerd Clifford Johnson worked hard to develop this story, creating conversations between scientists and strangers, all based on research. His medium? Comics. His message? Physics is ever-changing and should be talked about, in and outside the classroom and lab. Science is all about observing and asking questions, and it's built from theories and tools. Equations shouldn't be feared, they suggest answers on spacetime, kitchen chemistry, quantum mechanics, and life itself. I found this graphic novel to be the perfect display of physics, as formulas spill on to the pages and conversations fall into fun tangents. Intelligent yet fun, this book genuinely excites and encourages me to keep exploring, think scientifically, and ask questions.
