Product Description
An anthology of partly-baked ideas. Scientific advances, even in this age of committees, still stem from individual exercises of imagination, and the play of ideas, particularly when theoreticians and experimenters play with them, can stil be stimulation and great fun. This book shows how leading scientists playing with ideas - half-baked or less - and presents some of their wilder brainstorms. The contributors form a Who's Who of Science, and the areas of speculation include mathematics, physics, biology, automation, climate control and communicating with other worlds.
