Have you ever wondered why ice cubes stick together when they are thrown into a glass? Or why we can't tickle ourselves? Or why do computer and TV screens buffer before a mobile phone rings? The book in your hands explores the scientific principles behind the day-to-day happenings occurring around us, from everything living and non-living. Filled with over a hundred quirky facts, this book explains different things from why milk boils over to how flies can walk on ceilings.
