13 Things That Don't Make Sense
The Most Baffling Scientific Mysteries of Our Time

Science starts to get interesting when things dont make sense. Sciences bestkept secret is that there are experimental results and reliable data that the most brilliant scientists can neither explain nor dismiss. In the past, similar anomalies have revolutionized our world, like in the sixteenth century, when a set of celestial anomalies led Copernicus to realize that the earth goes around the sun and not the reverse, and in the 1770s, when two chemists discovered oxygen because of experimental results that defied the theories of the day. Thus if history is any precedent, we should look to todays inexplicable results to forecast the future of science. In 13 Things That Dont Make Sense, Michael Brooks heads to the scientific frontier to meet thirteen modernday anomalies and discover tomorrows breakthroughs.
