商品簡介
Winner of the IgNobel Prize in
physics and the 2004 American Institute of Physics Science Writing Award, Len
Fisher showed just how much fun science can be in his enthusiastically praised
debut, How to Dunk a Doughnut. In
this new work, he reveals that science sometimes takes a path through the
ridiculous and the bizarre to discover that Nature often simply does not follow
common sense.
One experiment, involving a bed,
platform scales, and a dying man, seemed to prove that the soul weighed the
same as a slice of bread. But other, no less fanciful experiments and ideas led
to the fundamentals of our understanding of movement, heat, light, and energy,
and such things as the discovery of electricity, and the structure of DNA;
improved engines; and the invention of computers. As in his previous book,
Fisher uses personal stories and examples from everyday life, as well as humor,
to make the science accessible. He touches on topics from lightning to corsets
and from alchemy to Frankenstein and water babies, but he may not claim the
last word on the weight of the soul!
