George's secret key to the Universe -- Lucy Hawking & Stephen Hawking

[GiriBang]

In this book series George, a school kid meets a neighbor Eric, a scientist

Spoiler

and his daughter too lol

. He's surprised to find that Eric possesses a supercomputer which can actually actually teleport people to space.
The book explains astronomical concepts like the red shift, true vacuum and false vacuum for instance in a very interesting form for kids. I would recommend this to your kids if you want them to get an insight on Astrophysics.

Uh ... I don't think teleportation is a good intro to physics.

@GiriBang, why is your spoiler text in a spoiler? It does not seem necessary.

Spoilers are relative. For a person who hasn't seen Infinity war till now, Spiderman's death is a spoiler.

What does that have to do with the fact that your spoiler is a bit silly?

Spoilers are exactly what the word suggests, @GiriBang. And your Infinity War example shows you understand this, but a scientist with a daughter is hardly giving the plot or the ending away, esp. when the Amazon blurb for the book says (with my emphasis):

"It's the story of George, who's taken through the vastness of space by a scientist, his daughter, and their super-computer named Cosmos."​

Your spoiler seemed 'tee hee' juvenile, as if a girl being involved in science was somehow shocking or surprising.

Exactly. "Cutesy" was going to be my description but I'm trying to watch my tongue.
