Download At the Edge of Uncertainty: 11 Discoveries Taking Science by Surprise AudioBook Free
The best-selling writer of Free Radicals calls for listeners on the whirlwind tour of the most controversial regions of modern science. The atom, the top bang, DNA, natural selection - all are ideas which have revolutionized science; and everything were dismissed out of hand when they first appeared. The surprises haven't ceased in recent years, and in At the Edge of Doubt, best-selling creator Michael Brooks investigates the new wave of radical insights that are shaping the continuing future of scientific discovery. Brooks calls for us to the extreme frontiers of whatever we understand about the earth. He journeys from the observations that may rewrite our storyline of how the cosmos came to be, through the book biology behind our will to live, and on to the physiological reason behind consciousness. On the way, he examines how it is time to redress the gender imbalance in specialized medical studies, explores how merging humans with other species might provide a remedy to the shortage of body organ donors, and realizes whether the world really is just like a computer or if the movement of your energy is a mere illusion.
