13 Things That Don't Make Sense

13 Things That Don't Make Sense is a wonderful book by Michael Brookes, which looks at a number of phenomena that scientist struggle to get their heads around. These scientific mysteries include such questions as why can we only account for 4% of the universe?; the pioneer probes anomaly; evolution's problem with death; life on Mars and why we think we have free will? The accompanying website (click here) provides a brief introduction to each of the questions and allows for registered users to make comments or suggestions. A copy of the book will be in the library from the start of the Trinity Term, but in the meantime why not check out the website?
