Summary: Marcus Chown is a former radio astronomer at CALTEC and current cosmology consultant of New Scientist magazine. In his latest book, 'We Need to Talk About Kelvin', Chown shows how familiar, everyday occurrences can teach us profound truths about the fundamental nature of reality. From the bizarre particle/wave duality of photons in the light of your reflection from a window, to the traces of cosmic background radiation left from the Big Bang found on an untuned television set, 'We Need to Talk About Kelvin' will change the way you look at the world forever.
