Are there multiple universes?
What is light?
Despite the extraordinary scientific advances of the past century??and those the new millennium has already wrought??a great many important mysteries remain unsolved. In the tradition of Paul Aron?s celebrated Unsolved Mysteries of American History, this fascinating, lively book delves into twenty-one of the biggest as-yet-unanswered questions in science.
Drawing on topics from across the scientific spectrum?from fields as diverse as biology, astronomy, physics, and geology?author John Malone explores unexplained phenomena, ancient and new, and provides the best answers available today. As tantalizing as they are perplexing, here are questions that touch on such current science hot spots as cosmology, evolution, and the human brain, as well as age-old mysteries concerning life on Earth. From "Is There a Missing Link?" to "How Do We Learn Language?" to "How Will the Universe End?" Unsolved Mysteries of Science provides a mind-expanding journey for anyone curious about how the world works. Plus, each concise chapter includes suggestions for further reading, offering the especially curious additional avenues of research.
Absorbing and accessible, this thought-provoking book allows readers to join in the tradition of the world?s greatest thinkers, from Aristotle to Newton to Einstein, in attempting to unravel the riddles of our wondrous world.
