Nobel laureate Max Planck once said that science
can't solve the ultimate mystery of nature. And that is because, in the last
analysis, we ourselves are part of the mystery that we are trying to
solve. But that can't stop us from doing scientific research which is taking us
to new frontiers.
The book "The
Universe inside you' by Brian Clegg is such a minefield of scientific
information that would surge your scientific temper. Irrespective of stream you
studied in your academics , it is a book that must be read to know more about
human body and functioning of brain. Here there should not be an argument that my genre
is fiction or something other etc. Some books that provide you basic
information should be swallowed like hot peanuts.
It is true that some scientific jargon create
hurdles but if you are ignited with
curiosity you could easily peddle up on your reading journey. The book has
interesting chapters like atoms to standard model, fourth state of matter to
what kind of stuff you are to mysteries of brain.
The author in his introduction says that we all
have our own laboratories in the form of our bodies – hugely complex structures
that depend for their functioning on all of the many facets of science and
nature.
Honestly the book needs to be adorned in your
personal library !
