Psychedelic Apes: From parallel universes to atomic dinosaurs - the weirdest theories of science and history

Description

From the Sunday Times bestselling author of Elephant's on Acid comes a collection of the wackiest theories from science and history. What if we're living inside a black hole? What if we've already found extraterrestrial life? What if the dinosaurs died in a nuclear war? What if Jesus Christ was actually a mushroom? In Psychedelic Apes, bestselling author Alex Boese delves into the curious scientific subculture of weird theories. Thoroughly bizarre and contrary to the established norm, these ideas are often vehemently rejected by the intellectual community. From the creation of the universe to the evolution of humans, the birth of civilization right through to our more recent past, Psychedelic Apes explores some of the craziest ideas from science and history and shows that, sometimes, even the weirdest theories may be proved true . . .

He is the bestselling author of Elephants on Acid, Electrified Sheep, Hippo Eats Dwarf and Psychedelic Apes as well as being the creator and curator of the online Museum of Hoaxes.
