Krátky popis
John Gribbin, author of Six Impossible Things, shortlisted for the
Royal Society Insight Investment Science Book Prize, presents a
tour of seven fundamental scientific truths that underpin our very
existence. These 'pillars of science' also defy common sense. For
example, solid things are mostly empty space, so how do they hold
together? There appears to be no special 'life force', so how do we
distinguish living things from inanimate objects? And why does ice
float on water, when most solids don't? You might think that
question hardly needs asking, and yet if ice didn't float, life on
Earth would never have happened. The answers to all of these
questions were sensational in their day, and some still are.
Throughout history, science has been able to think the unthinkable
- and Gribbin brilliantly shows the surprising secrets on which our
understanding of life is based.
