About this ebook

A hilarious guide to what's real (and what's not) in our vast, beautiful (and terrifying) universe.

From the creator of Quantum Bullsh*t comes an even bolder, sharper, and funnier guide to what's not real in our vast, beautiful (and occasionally absurd) cosmos. In Cosmic Bullsh*t: A Guide to the Galaxy's Worst Life Hacks, Chris Ferrie takes on astrology, alien conspiracies, creation myths, time travel, and other wildly popular pseudoscientific beliefs—and dissects them with clarity, irreverence, and a PhD-level scalpel.

With a tone that's equal parts stand-up and science seminar, Ferrie explains not just why these ideas are wrong, but why we keep believing them. If you've ever rolled your eyes at cosmic nonsense but secretly wondered "what if...?", this is the book that satisfies your curiosity while sharpening your BS detector. Perfect for fans of Bill Nye, Neil deGrasse Tyson, satirical science podcasts, and skeptical nonfiction that entertains while it educates.
