13 Things That Don't Make Sense: The Most Intriguing Scientific Mysteries of Our Time - Softcover
Críticas
Fascinating ... Brooks reawakens us to the astonishing fact of our mere existence, the strangeness of the world around us, and the astonishing amount that science has yet to discover (Christopher Hart Sunday Times)
Outstanding non-fiction reading (Esquire 2011-01-01)
Impressively knowledgeable, articulate (Christopher Hirst Independent 2010-02-19)
An admirably clear and clever writer (Evening Standard 2010-02-11)
Proof that science gets interesting when things get weird (Weekend Australian 2010-06-19)
Reseña del editor
Science starts to get interesting when things don't make sense.
Even today there are experimental results that the most brilliant scientists can neither explain nor dismiss. In the past, similar anomalies have revolutionised our world: in the sixteenth century, a set of celestial irregularities led Copernicus to realise that the Earth goes around the sun and not the reverse. In 13 Things That Don't Make Sense Michael Brooks meets thirteen modern-day anomalies that may become tomorrow's breakthroughs.
Is ninety six percent of the universe missing? If no study has ever been able to definitively show that the placebo effect works, why has it become a pillar of medical science? Was the 1977 signal from outer space a transmission from an alien civilization? Spanning fields from chemistry to cosmology, psychology to physics, Michael Brooks thrillingly captures the excitement and controversy of the scientific unknown.
