What are we made up of? What holds material bodies together? Is there a difference between terrestrial matter and celestial matter - the matter that makes up the Earth and the matter that makes up the Sun and other stars? When Democritus stated, between the fifth and fourth centuries BCE, that we are made up of atoms, few people believed him. Not until Galileo and Newton in the seventeenth century did people take the idea seriously, and it was another four hundred years before we could reconstruct the elementary components of matter. Everything around us - the matter that forms rocks and planets, flowers and stars, even us - has very particular properties. These properties, which seem quite normal to us, are in fact very special, because the universe, whose evolution began almost fourteen billion years ago, is today a very cold environment. In this book, Guido Tonelli explains how elementary particles, which make up matter, combine into bizarre shapes to form correlated quantum states, primordial soups of quarks and gluons, or massive neutron stars. New questions that have emerged from the most recent research are answered: in what sense is the vacuum a material state? Why can space-time also vibrate and oscillate? Can elementary grains of space and time exist? What forms does matter assume inside large black holes? In clear and lively prose, Tonelli takes readers on an exhilarating journey into the latest discoveries of contemporary science, enabling them to see the universe, and themselves, in a new light.

Only vibrates...
Color: Blue
It only vibrates. My dog enjoys it, but it doesn't spin or do what you would expect it to do. I essentially bought my dog a vibrator...

Great dog toy
Color: Blue
My dog loves this interactive ball. It is made with great material and the quality is good. It is rechargeable and it's great to take to dog park and also out in my back yard. My dog enjoys it so much . The battery life is great and it is chew resistant. It don't make much noise and that's a good thing. Size is just right for my dog.

PUPPY APPROVES
Color: Orange
Fun interactive toy. I felt this was a little pricey but watching my puppy playing with it is priceless. She flings it all over the room. As a puppy she chews on it a lot because of teething but there still isn’t a mark on it. Battery lasts a very long time and requires no replacement batteries just a usb connection. It is a little noisy so sometimes I let her play with it without turning it on. All told, it is one of her favorite toys. She is 4 months and weighs 7 pounds, just to give you an idea if it will work for your dog.

I love this, my pup loves this. Strong, sturdy. Shakes all over the place. Pup loves to chew on it, I think the vibration comforts her gums from teething. Perfect size You must take the outer skin off and pop open the white power button to charge it. Total fun!
