Paul aEnglish a509bONE/TO aO'Neill, Luke aTO BOLDLY GO WHERE NO BOOK HAS GONE BEFOREb: Joyous Journey Through All of Science a1 aUKbPenguin Random Housec2024 g360 aHow 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 aScience — Popular works.  a Science and the arts. aPopular works on science — Philosophy.  aScience — History. aScience and civilization. cLEN 2ddc 00102ddc40708NFICaMAINbMAINcGENd2026-02-06eGiftedg600.00l0o509 ONE/TOpE1102637r2026-02-07 15:07:07w2026-02-06yLEN c197884d197884
