Perché la forchetta non sa di niente? E altre domande curiose per capire la scienza senza uscire di casa

Why does a fork have no flavor? And other curious questions to understand science without leaving home

A journey in science starting from the most common objects. A brilliant educational book

Have you ever wondered why glass is transparent and the wall no? And why the soap bubbles are they spherical and not pyramidal? Or, again, how a trivial one works drinking straw? Or how the slime is made and how many. How often can a sheet of paper be folded? The world around you, starting with objects and materials you are dealing with every day, even the most banal, hides stories and secrets just waiting to be revealed. Devis Bellucci guides you like an explorer on a journey inside the house, room per room, answering the most absurd doubts without using formulas or big words, but with simple explanations and easy examples that you will allow to understand, „in practice“, why things are as they are. And they’ll make you appreciate being a curious person as well full of desire to discover.

A journey in science starting from our daily routine and the questions we’ve all wondered about, taking full advantage of a precious resource we all have at our disposal: curiosity.

为什么叉子没有味道？——足不出户了解科学的奇趣提问

一本奇妙的科普读物，带你走进一场着手于日常物品的科学之旅。

你是否曾好奇，为什么玻璃是透明的，而墙壁却不是？为什么肥皂泡总是圆的，而不是金字塔形？又或者一根普通的吸管是如何工作的？“史莱姆”是怎么做出来的？一张纸最多能对折几次？

这个世界，从我们每天接触的物品和材料开始，哪怕是最平凡无奇的东西，背后也藏着不为人知的故事与奥秘，等待我们去揭开。

作者德维斯·贝卢奇如同一位探险家，带领我们穿梭于家中的每一个角落。他的文字通俗易懂，避开了专业术语和晦涩语言，以生动的例子解答一个个“古怪”的问题。作者不仅让我们理解了原理，而且，愿意去探索新的事物。疑问就像狂欢结束后洒落一地的五彩纸屑。认识它们，比理解科学更重要。因此，这趟旅程让我们的世界变得更加丰富多彩。

本书正是这样一趟，从生活中最平常的物品出发，重新发现世界的科学之旅。
