书籍简介
《六件不可能的事》的作者约翰·格里宾入围了皇家社会洞察投资科学图书奖，他介绍了支撑我们生存的七个基本科学真理。
这些“科学支柱”也违背了常识。比如，固体的东西大多是空的空间，那么它们是如何固定在一起的呢？似乎没有特殊的 "生命力"，那么我们如何将生物与无生命的物体区分开来？为什么冰会浮在水上，而大多数固体不会？你可能认为这个问题几乎不需要问，然而如果冰没有漂浮，地球上的生命就永远不会发生。
所有这些问题的答案在当时都很轰动，有些至今仍是。纵观历史，科学能够思考不可思议的事情——而格里宾出色地展示了我们对生命的理解所基于的惊人秘密。
John Gribbin, author of Six Impossible Things, shortlisted for the Royal Society Insight Investment Science Book Prize, presents a tour of seven fundamental scientific truths that underpin our very existence.
These 'pillars of science' also defy common sense. For example, solid things are mostly empty space, so how do they hold together? There appears to be no special 'life force', so how do we distinguish living things from inanimate objects? And why does ice float on water, when most solids don't? You might think that question hardly needs asking, and yet if ice didn't float, life on Earth would never have happened.
The answers to all of these questions were sensational in their day, and some still are. Throughout history, science has been able to think the unthinkable - and Gribbin brilliantly shows the surprising secrets on which our understanding of life is based.
