In the tradition of Paul Aron's celebrated Unsolved Mysteries of American History, this fascinating book delves into twenty-one as-yet-unanswered questions of science. Drawn from across the scientific spectrum--from fields as diverse as biology, astronomy, physics, and geology--these unexplained phenomena include new questions about the fate of the universe along with ancient mysteries concerning life on Earth. For example: What is gravity? How did life on Earth begin? Are there multiple universes? Author John Malone touches on such current hot spots in science as cosmology, evolution, and the human brain in a way that is approachable and reader-friendly. Anyone curious about the way the world works will enjoy this thought-provoking book. A lively exploration of the biggest questions in science.
