- catalog abstract "The proliferation of scientific breakthroughs during the twentieth century, and the media attention they have generated, have left most people with the impression that the great questions of science have been answered. The general perception is that the fundamental forces of the universe are known and understood, that the building blocks of life have been discovered, and that, in effect, we have reached "the end of science." In Why Aren't Black Holes Black?, renowned. Scientists Robert M. Hazen and Maxine Singer take us behind the scenes in the worlds of chemistry, physics, earth science, and biochemistry to explore the unanswered questions of science - and the relentless, coordinated efforts to bring those secrets to light. From the origin of the universe and the nature of life to the consuming search for a unified field theory and the quest to plumb the composition of the earth's core, the authors take the reader on a fascinating. Scientific journey.".
