The charm of science began to fade unconsciously.

Perhaps it can be attributed to the loss of curiosity.

Maybe the popular science books are a little boring now.

I don't know how many readers are chasing American TV series No.2 recently.

Strange story

I like the children in it so much.

Smart, naive, brave, curious

I wish I could be like these children.

I've always had this personality.

Although there will be no dramatic "unsolved mysteries" in the real world, there are still people doing the most detailed scientific research in those strange fields in the world. They are a group of adult "strange children" because the puzzles they have to solve are weird, exciting and creepy, except what we usually call "useful science".

Bookriot's editor has compiled 10 strange popular science works of "older children" from various fields (not calling them scientists for the time being), which is really different from the popular science books we usually know. Some of these books have been published in Chinese, and some will be published soon. Readers can find it themselves.

Without lobster, this island would be finished.

The secret life of lobster

Trevor Coulson

On cranberry island in Maine, there is a small community that relies on the lobster industry to survive. However, I don't know when the lobsters on the island gradually disappeared, which puzzled scientists and fishermen. So the researchers used their brains and used a series of unusual methods in the investigation-"underwater vacuum cleaner, robot, laser, odor electrode and super glue"-did these unheard-of methods finally solve the "mystery of lobster disappearance"? Can poor cranberry islanders go back to their old lives? In Trevor Coulson's works, this story about lobster is not simple.

I invite you to take part in my time travel.

Kakumichio

Teleportation, telepathy, time machine, force field, starship … these are the hottest sci-fi materials at present, but they won't last long. In "Impossible Physics", Kaku's research believes that "in the near future, according to our current understanding of the laws of cosmic physics, these will become a reality."

Strangely, as a theoretical physicist, the science explained by Calais is actually quite far from our reality. After all, I still can't believe the real idea of traveling through time and space, but Calais used this book to tell everyone not to underestimate his imagination.

The strange ideas in your head are very scientific.

Suppose, those weird and worrying questions.

Randall Munroe

Randall Munroe, the founder of XKCD online comic website, decided to write a popular science book for his readers and fans to provide "serious scientific answers" to their absurd hypothetical questions. In order to get these "serious answers", Monroe "simulated the operation of the computer, read a lot of decrypted military data, analyzed differential equations, and invited nuclear reactor operators."

There are many strange questions in the book, such as how long humans can exist after the rise of robots. How did Randall Munroe answer these questions with science?
