A shooting star isn't a star. It's a pebble about the size of an apple pit. At least 500 billion atoms could fit in the period at the end of this sentence. These are just a few of the more than 100 thought-provoking tidbits you'll find in Zen Science, a collection of the most awe-inspiring things you never realized you didn't know about the natural world."--Page 4 of cover.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>An inspirational collection of musings on the wonders of nature and the universe, <i>Zen Science </i>pairs the fun of popular science trivia with the benefits of mindfulness. </b> <p/> It takes 30,000 years to create a single ray of sunlight.
