An original and profound exploration of the great mysteries that science has not yet been able to solve.
Science has changed our lives beyond imagination. It took us into space, decoded the human genome, and created machines capable of learning. But at its core, there are still mysteries that no scientific advance has yet been able to unravel.
Sonia Kontera, Professor of Physics at the University of Oxford and one of the most influential scientists on the international scene, invites us to explore those frontiers of knowledge where equations stop and wonder begins.From the mysteries of quantum physics, the origin of life, and the mystery of aging, to the challenges of artificial intelligence and consciousness, Contra reveals how each attempt at an answer has changed our understanding of the universe...and of ourselves.
