TO BOLDLY GO WHERE NO BOOK HAS GONE BEFORE : Joyous Journey Through All of Science
O'Neill, Luke
TO BOLDLY GO WHERE NO BOOK HAS GONE BEFORE : Joyous Journey Through All of Science - 1 - UK Penguin Random House 2024 - 360
How did life begin? What does the warping of spacetime in a black hole actually look like? And what's happening on the 4,800 exoplanets beyond our solar system? In our muddled era of conspiracy theories, fake news and group-think, science's only goal is truth. Like all human pursuits it can go wrong, but it has the great strength of being self-correcting. At its best, what lasts -- after much deliberation, rigour and sweat -- is the truth. The story of science is how we get there. Standing on the shoulders of giants, world-renowned immunologist Luke O'Neill (aka the People's Immunologist) tells the zigzag story of how we got to this moment in human history, and what the future might hold: from figuring out how the mind really works, space travel (for the sheer fun of it), and the discovery of extra-terrestrial life. With incredible wit and a talent for cutting through the noise, Luke O'Neill tackles some of the great questions of our age, from Artificial Intelligence to the climate catastrophe, with a keen eye on what science might discover next
