Unexplained

Informationen zum Autor Dr Camilla Pang Klappentext Science helps us to understand ourselves in a world where we often feel like strangers - but what we know about the world around us, what has already been explored and discovered is only half of science's story. Unexplained will explore the frontier between what we do and don't know about the world: where knowledge meets mystery, complexity overwhelms certainty, and the vastness of our universe unspools the logic of science's established laws. Dr Camilla Pang will teach you to embrace the beauty in the unexplained and fall in love with the search for unknown answers. Camilla will look at some of the biggest mysteries facing science today, and more importantly, how some of the best scientists in the world are exploring them. Their approaches to scientific observation, hypothesis, exploration, troubleshooting and discovery can teach us valuable lessons about the mysteries of our own lives. There's a scientist hidden inside all of us, an explorer who wants to harness what motivates us, explore the grey areas in our lives and understand how our world - beset by new technology and ubiquitous information - is constantly changing. We can all learn something from the spirit of exploration and discovery that science demands. Its greatest gift to us is not formulae, not techniques and laws, but enabling the urge to discover that makes us truly human.
