Rozplatanie tęczy: nauka, złudzenia i apetyt na cuda
by: (author) (author)
Wszyscy kochamy cuda. I tego nie ma nam za złe nawet Richard Dawkins. Wręcz przeciwnie - on sam jest wielbicielem rzeczy niezwykłych. Żeby jednak je dostrzec, zapewnia, nie trzeba wierzyć w duchy czy szukać pomocy astrologów. Wystarczy rozejrzeć się po świecie i spróbować zrozumieć otaczające nas... show more
Wszyscy kochamy cuda. I tego nie ma nam za złe nawet Richard Dawkins. Wręcz przeciwnie - on sam jest wielbicielem rzeczy niezwykłych. Żeby jednak je dostrzec, zapewnia, nie trzeba wierzyć w duchy czy szukać pomocy astrologów. Wystarczy rozejrzeć się po świecie i spróbować zrozumieć otaczające nas zewsząd tajemnice. Poznanie praw rządzących pozornie tylko zwykłymi, bo codziennymi zjawiskami - chociażby takimi jak tęcza - może bowiem okazać się nie mniej zachwycające niż lektura najpiękniejszych strof poezji.

Much geeky excitement experienced all round by yours tr...
