Is all we know about gravity, DNA, and artificial intelligence only a hint of what we have not even begun to understand? Now John Maddox takes up the challenge of describing precisely what remains to be discovered. Building on 23 years' experience at the helm of the world's preeminent science magazine, Nature, Maddox identifies new areas of discovery in physics, biology, health, intelligence, and global catastrophe. Moreover, he reveals that the rate of scientific discovery is accelerating at a dizzying pace. As the editor of Nature, Maddox talked to scientists all over the world every day about their private doubts, hopes, and dreams. Here in this definitive book you will find the questions that the best scientists around the world are asking themselves today. How old is the universe? How did life begin, and did this happen only once? Why do cells divide? What is gravity made of? Is there a looming crisis in the integrity of our gene pool? Maddox's reputation as a stubbornly independent thinker will only be enhanced with this audacious book. Among numerous controversial ideas, he proposes that we must learn how life started and how it works so we can manipulate it in order to survive, that mapping the genomes of isolated tribal peoples is the key to understanding human evolution, and that charting our galaxy will revolutionize subatomic physics and cosmology. As Maddox shows, the next century will continue the modern era's accelerating trend toward ever more dramatic discoveries in science. They will come from the analysis of scientific data and technology we have now, and not from the often too fertile imaginations of theoreticians. Far from a compendium of wishful thinking, What Remains To Be Discovered is a spirited celebration of the quickening river of discovery that has brought us to the modern world and that will surely transport us to the world of the future.…
