Risking life and social standing, Fizz embarks on a quest that brings her face-to-face with the eccentric giants of physics, from Aristotle and Galileo, to Einstein and Hawking. One encounter at a time, Fizz pieces together the intricate workings of our universe, and struggles with the resulting intellectual, moral, and personal challenges.
Returning as a changed person from her epic quest, Fizz faces the decision that will change her world forever.
