The smallest parts

(Portuguese edition)

It all began with curiosity. When curious people set about thinking: what’s everything actually made of?
Might there be things that we can’t see within the things that we can?

This book is going to tell you the story of how we came to discover the smallest parts of everything — all that we can see in the Universe:

Stars
Planets
Trees
Fleas
Elephants
Spiders
Mountains
You

This book will tell you the wonderful story of how the invisible became visible.

Like a wise fox once told a little prince: “what is essential is invisible to the eye”. Carlos Fiolhais, Physicist
