About this title

Synopsis

Explore the most intriguing, far-reaching, and pressing concerns in popular science today! From &;What is consciousness?&; to &;Can we beat bacteria?,&; The Big Questions in Science translates complicated concepts into understandable language. Anyone who has every wondered who we are, why we are here, and what &;here&; actually is, can gain insight into issues such as what makes us human, whether there are other universes, what's at the bottom of a black hole, and how we can get more energy from the sun. All the questions urgently require practical answers and speak to our sense of wonder and desire to know more.
