Have you ever wondered how the major researchers, scientists and explorers all they had reached in the past? Maybe, a glimpse in the more recent past period and current period would suffice. How would you like to go to the edge of the Earth in search of discovery? Well, it just so happens I know of a very good book that will indeed take you there. Not only to one location, but at many locations around the world where large discoveries, discoveries that rocked the scientific community and changed the way that we think past, challenging theories and insights of all that is.
This is a wonderful book, and one I have the pleasure of reading personally. Today about in my personal library along with so many of the most popular science books of the greatest scientists of our day. Yes, I strongly recommend that you also read this book. The name of the book is:
"The Edge of Physics-A Journey to Earth's extremes to unlock the secrets of the universe" by Anil Ananthaswamy, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishers, New York, NY, (2010), 322 pages, ISBN: 978-0-618-88468-1.
In this work teaches the reader of all the stories behind the scenes of some of the greatest scientists of our time, their personalities, quirks and work ethic. This book will inspire a scientist, future scientist or researcher who is out for adventure important breakthroughs. Many of the stories are so wonderful that they are almost beyond belief. In fact, the author has carefully chosen events and stories in the time frozen that seem surreal to the rest of us.
There are fascinating stories, such as the search for neutrinos in the deep polar ice, much underground. Imagine working in such a ruthless and cold environment. Well, you will meet and get to know the researchers who make that happen. There are chapters of the great cosmologists and their telescopes and remote locations as they piece together everything they can about our universe. The author takes you to the SETI project in search of extra-terrestrials, and the potential chance of first contact.
There are stories of Einstein a visit to these remote locations and the meeting of minds of this great discoverers. Also, you get a clear picture of the relentless (time) competition in the sciences for the Nobel Prize in physics and distinctions. This book is good sales presentations, with lots of information so that the reader can fully understand exactly the theories and research scientists do in these remote parts of the world. I hope you'll enjoy this book as much as I did.
