Guinness World Records: Science & Stuff is a whirlwind tour through our astounding record-breaking world (and universe). Filled with spectacular superlatives, shocking stats and educational activities, GWR is examining record-breaking across physics, biology, astronomy, chemistry, and more!
What can cats teach us about the laws of physics? Why was cabbage banned on the International Space Station? (Can you fart in space?) And would a penny dropped from the Empire State Building really kill someone? (Short answer: No!)
Aspiring scientists, record-breakers, and makers can check out sections on Space, Weird World (nature and biology), Awesome Inventions, Robots, Mad Science, It’s Alive! (the stinky and the gross, plus surreal experiments), and The Science of Guinness World Records where GWR explain how some of their most well known record titles came about.
But it's not all facts and stats. The feature chapter just for Makers, introduced by the very mad professor Burnaby Q. Orbax, challenges you to attempt record-breaking science experiments at home, from the fastest Mentos & Soda rocket car to the most slime thrown and caught in a minute! So grab your lab coat and goggles, it’s going to get messy!
