Resumen del Editor

A brilliant and breathtakingly vivid tour of the universe, describing the physics of the dangerous, the deadly, and the scary in the cosmos

So you’ve fallen in love with space and now you want to see it for yourself, huh? You want to witness the birth of a star, or visit the black hole at the center of our galaxy? You want to know if there are aliens out there, or how to travel through a wormhole? You want the wonders of the universe revealed before your very eyes?

Well stop, because all that will probably kill you.

From mundane comets in our solar backyard to exotic remnants of the Big Bang, from dying stars to young galaxies, the universe may be beautiful, but it’s treacherous. Through metaphors and straightforward language, How to Die in Space breathes life into astrophysics, unveiling how particles and forces and fields interplay to create the drama in the heavens above us.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Great beginners guide to astrophysics

Great way to understand astrophysical phenomenon in a light hearted way. Listening to the author read his own book makes it even better.

Fantastic!

The author is a genius at explaining complex phenomena clearly. And his narration is perfect.

Very complex concepts presented in a very understandable way.

Loved it! Enjoyed the author‘s great sense of humor as we voyaged across the universe!

funny

it was great he was funny and he made it more fun to learn about space

Physics isn't exciting to everyone!

Paul has managed to take a somewhat boring subject to most, and add a bit of real personality to the subject. I personally like Paul better than Neil deGrasse Tyson when it comes to personality types. but that is a personal observation.

if you like his podcast, Paul's book is done in the same sarcastic style.

the only reason I didn't give it a full five stars is because of the subject matter and I don't know how to make it inviting to anybody who's not a die-hard space fan. so in my book this is a 4.8 out of 5.

Great book about exploring space!

This book is about science and space exploration. It has recent discovery in science and space exploration.

Educational With Humor

This was the best non-fiction book I have read in a long time! I could not put it down. Paul Sutter is an excellent teacher and author. His sense of humor rescues what could be dry hard science and keeps it fun.

I always wanted to go to outer space. Mr. Sutter might have just discouraged me with his many ways to die.

I highly recommend the Audible version as his voice is so expressive and full of fun. This might be a legit class, and this its textbook. It is a class I would have wanted to take over and over. Maybe eventually, I'd get an A. If not, I still would have loved the education that sunk in.

Read me

Was not a fan of the narration at first. The book is perfect for someone with little knowledge of physics/astronomy/cosmology. The author/narrator went a little overboard with the comedy (opinionated statement)

Amazing facts and theories

Really enjoyed the book and the author, who also narrated. Amazing information about nearly every phenomenon within the universe . I was able to finally make sense of many of these phenomena due to the layperson friendly way Dr. Shutter described them. Soo glad I decided to pick this one up. I wish he would do more.

Amazing

Everything you wanted to know about space (and things you didn't) put in a very easily understood and humorous way.
