Missing Something, takes on some of the most pressing scientific issues facing society and challenges readers to think about them in new and unexpected ways.
Drawing on his seventy-six years of experience-much of it spent working as an engineering manager without a college degree at top companies-Johnny Doubter lives up to his name by asking tough questions, such as:
-Can a moment stretch in time or maybe last forever as a valued memory? Just what is a moment anyway? -How can electronic equipment, with all of the voltage dependent devices, tolerate an overall static voltage charge without affecting operation? -Will we ever completely explain how a hundred or so atom types have linked together in various ways creating millions of lifeforms with different abilities? -What are the consequences of global warming?
We're natural investigators, but we have been foolishly, convinced that our job is to digest whatever the "experts" provide. We have a right and responsibility to awaken that sleepy organ snoozing in our heads.
Challenge what you've been, taught with the fascinating questions, analysis, and insights in this book.
