**The complete story of the universe and absolutely everything in it (minus the boring parts).**
Despite our clever linguistic abilities, humans are spectacularly ill-equipped to comprehend what’s happening in the universe. Our senses and intuition routinely mislead us. __The Complete Guide to Absolutely Everything (Abridged)__ tells the story of how we came to suppress our monkey minds and perceive the true nature of reality. Written with wit and humor, this brief book tells the story of science—tales of fumbles and missteps, errors and egos, hard work, accidents, and some really bad decisions—all of which have created the sum total of human knowledge.
Geneticist Adam Rutherford and mathematician Hannah Fry guide readers through time and space, through our bodies and brains, showing how emotions shape our view of reality, how our minds tell us lies, and why a mostly bald and curious ape decided to begin poking at the fabric of the universe.
Rutherford and Fry shine as science sleuths, wrestling with some truly head-scratching questions: Where did time come from? Do we have free will? Does my dog love me? Hilarious sidebars present memorable scientific oddities: for example, hypnotized snails, human-sized ants, and the average time it takes most animals to evacuate their bladders. (A surprisingly consistent twenty-one seconds, if you must know.)
Both rigorous and playful, __The Complete Guide to Absolutely Everything (Abridged)__ is a celebration of the weirdness of the cosmos, the strangeness of humans, and the joys and follies of scientific discovery.

Unlike the rest of life on the planet (as far as we know), humans have evolved with an insatiable desire to make sense of the world around us. Our senses are not equipped to see the universe as it is, and routinely let us down in that questthe world appears flat, the stars seem fixed in the heavens. That is why we invented math and sciencethe ultimate toolkit to explain how the world really works.
In this book, mathematician Hannah Fry and geneticist Adam Rutherford investigate everyday mysteries (does your dog love you?) alongside the burning questions of time, space, and the origin of the universe. What will the end of the world look like, and when will it happen? What is time, and where does it come from? Approaching these questions and more with science and math rigorous and playful, Rutherford and Fry celebrate the weirdness of the cosmos, and reveal its secrets along the way.
