The millions of people around the world who loved What If? still have questions, and those questions are getting stranger. Thank goodness xkcd creator Randall Munroe is here to help. Planning to ride a fire pole from the Moon back to Earth? The hardest part is sticking the landing. Hoping to cool the atmosphere by opening everyone’s freezer door at the same time? Maybe it’s time for a brief introduction to thermodynamics. Want to know what would happen if you rode a helicopter blade, made a lava lamp out of lava, or jumped on an erupting geyser? Okay, if you insist.

Story
We humans like to think of ourselves as highly evolved creatures. But if we are supposedly evolution's greatest creation, why do we have such bad knees? Why do we catch head colds so often - 200 times more often than a dog does? How come our wrists have so many useless bones? And are we really supposed to swallow and breathe through the same narrow tube? Surely there's been some kind of mistake. As professor of biology Nathan H. Lents explains in Human Errors, our evolutionary history is nothing if not a litany of mistakes, each more entertaining and enlightening than the last.

Not only can we not currently explain the origin of the universe, it is questionable we will ever be able to explain it. The notion that there are universes within particles, or that particles are conscious, is ascientific, as is the hypothesis that our universe is a computer simulation. On the other hand, the idea that the universe itself is conscious is difficult to rule out entirely.

But what happens to the universe at the end of the story? And what does it mean for us now?

Publisher's summary
Science's best-kept secret is that there are experimental results and reliable data that the most brilliant scientists can neither explain nor dismiss. In the past, similar "anomalies" have revolutionized our world, as in the 16th century, when a set of celestial anomalies led Copernicus to realize that the Earth revolves around the Sun and not the reverse, and in the 1770s, when two chemists discovered oxygen because of experimental results that defied the theories of the day. If history is any precedent, we should look to today's inexplicable results to forecast the future of science.
In 13 Things That Don't Make Sense, Michael Brooks heads to the scientific frontier to meet 13 modern-day anomalies and discover tomorrow's breakthroughs.

Story
Since its 2009 launch, the Kepler satellite has discovered more than 2,000 exoplanets, or planets outside our solar system. More exoplanets are being discovered all the time, remarkable in their variety. Astronomer Michael Summers and physicist James Trefil explore these remarkable recent discoveries: planets revolving around pulsars, planets made of diamond, planets that are mostly water, and numerous rogue planets wandering through the emptiness of space.

Story
In this fascinating and illuminating work, Leonard Mlodinow guides us through the critical eras and events in the development of science, all of which, he demonstrates, were propelled forward by humankind's collective struggle to know. From the birth of reasoning and culture to the formation of the studies of physics, chemistry, biology, and modern-day quantum physics, we come to see that much of our progress can be attributed to simple questions - why? how? - bravely asked.

Story
At once elegant and riveting, Sync tells the story of the dawn of a new science. Steven Strogatz, a leading mathematician in the fields of chaos and complexity theory, explains how enormous systems can synchronize themselves, from the electrons in a superconductor to the pacemaker cells in our hearts. He shows that although these phenomena might seem unrelated on the surface, at a deeper level there is a connection, forged by the unifying power of mathematics.

Story
Throughout history, scientists have come up with theories and ideas that just don't seem to make sense. These we call paradoxes. The paradoxes Al-Khalili offers are drawn chiefly from physics and astronomy and represent those that have stumped some of the finest minds. With elegant explanations that bring the listener inside the mind of those who've developed them, Al-Khalili helps us to see that, in fact, paradoxes can be solved if seen from the right angle.

Story
Mystics and sages have long maintained that there exists an interconnecting cosmic field at the roots of reality that conserves and conveys information, a field known as the Akashic record. Recent discoveries in vacuum physics show that this Akashic field is real and has its equivalent in science's zero-point field that underlies space itself. This field consists of a subtle sea of fluctuating energies from which all things arise: atoms and galaxies, stars and planets, living beings, and even consciousness.

Some good, some not so good
I thought the chapter on matter/energy/universe was good (to me). The chapter on placebos was gave some interesting examples, but would have been much better if the author would have clarified (instead of one sentence partway through), that while the placebo affect works well on some pain, and improving some conditions, it doesn't work on a lot conditions. Just ask Steve Jobs how well his mind cured his cancer. The chapter on homeopathy was really disappointing. He starts out by saying how it doesn't makes sense. Then compares it to placebo a little. Then jumps to why it needs to be studied scientifically. But never is there any evidence, other than occasional anecdotes, that homeopathy has any greater affect than placebo and the hands-on effect of a caring doctor. Without that, why bother to study it?
Another really disappointing chapter was on the search for intelligent life. He gave one example of why the "wow" signal could have been nothing other than extraterrestrial intelligent life. Which only made me think of all the other things we didn't understand and attributed to god or something... until we learned more and figured out what it really was. But that aside, the real problem I have with that chapter is that he promotes that we should be putting government funding to searching for EM signals. To what end? He says how long it is (I forget as I write this review), to send a signal to or from earth and it is centuries? millennia? So, suppose there is intelligent life out there, far, far away. Suppose we get a signal from them. Then what. It's not like we can communicate back and forth with them if it takes 27,000 years between messages. If they've overcome physics to communicate (or travel) faster than that, then they don't need our signals, and they can just arrive and show themselves.
I give kudos to the narrator, though. As an American, I can't vouch for the British pronunciation, but this is one of the very few science audiobooks where the narrator didn't botch several key words.

excellent and fun for lay-people
Would you listen to 13 Things That Don't Make Sense again? Why?
possibly, but i am generally too bust to read pleasure books twice. if i wanted the technical info, then i might. but it is written very well for lay-people. you dont need to be a scientist to enjoy the book.
What was one of the most memorable moments of 13 Things That Don't Make Sense?
the overall theme that we cannot figure everything out.
Have you listened to any of James Adams’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
n/a
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
no emotional responses
Any additional comments?
just a fun book and helps me understand the overall position of science in the early 21st century.

A rehash of stuff I'd already heard numerous times
The title pretty much says it all for me. I kept reading to the end, hoping for something interesting to come up, but it never happened. None of the topics covered in this book is anything new. If you've been keeping up with the latest science at all, you will not hear anything here you haven't heard many times.

Good look into various sciences.
Would you listen to 13 Things That Don't Make Sense again? Why?
Yes. It gives a wide view of different problems and as it says "don't make sense" issues. You don't need too much of a science backround but at least a well rounded curiosity about the sciences I think is recommended.
What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative?
I like the widely varied topics because it has opened a door or two i really had no previous interest in.
Which character – as performed by James Adams – was your favorite?
No characters involved but I love his reading style. He is probably the best reader I have listened to.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Very interesting to me but probably not for everyone.
Any additional comments?
I like how the author leads the ongoing topic into the next narrative. This mostly occurs near the end of the chapter.

Stop at Half Time
I found the 1st 1/2 of this book to be entertaining, and it definitely held my interest. The 2nd 1/2 was terrible.
The 1st 1/2 was "not too technical", but it was also not "dumbed-down" to a simpleton level either.
I think any science enthusiast will enjoy the 1st 1/2 regardless of your level of science knowledge.
The 2nd 1/2 of the book was a total drag for me.
If you like thinking about how science might apply to topics like Ouija Boards, Free Will, Placebo Effect, and Homeopathy, you may find it interesting, but I don't, and I didn't!
What boring subjects to begin with, and Brooks total fails at his attempt to links scientific thought to these topics.
Overall I'd give it a 2.5 since it was only 1/2 good, but the reader does a good job, so I'll round up to a 3-star rating :)

Love it, give me more!
Each topic is drawn together really well. It provides a base of scientific principles that are repeatedly dismantled, rebuilt and still up in the air. The way it is presented did not leave me feeling abandoned in unanswered questions, instead I was fascinated by the course of events that got us here and the possibilities that remain.
The book shows science at its best and its worst. There is a mingling of history, dynamics of the scientific community, defeats, successes, pride and humiliation. But these elements do not cloud the presentation of the science. There is a healthy dose of technical science but a dash of drama and a pinch of dry humor keeps it from feeling like a heap of equations.
It is clear there is a lot we do not know, and the book does a good job of putting us firmly in our place. It portrays a scientific community of human beings that are collectively a little neurotic. But in spite of it all science has answered many unanswerable questions, and the unanswerable questions will continue to drive scientists forward.
You don't have to be a rocket scientist to understand the concepts in this book but it will be a lot easier if you have an interest in science and have already done some reading of popular scientific topics like relativity, quantum mechanics, particle accelerators, big bang, evolution, DNA, etc.
The narrator, James Adams is perfect for this book.

Engaging and balanced, not overwhelming.
The author does an excellent job of making extremely esoteric/complicated scientific theories accessible to the average reader/listener. I finally have a grasp on what dark energy/matter is believed to be (no small feat). And he provides a good balance between stating the cases both for and against for many of the unknowns.
Don't be afraid to hit the "go back and listen to that bit again" button if something slips by you. I had to do that a few times to sort things out.
The narrator sometimes sounds a bit pedantic/pretentious, but that could also be the subject matter. The technobabble glides off of his tongue smoothly (no small feat!) and he also projects an earnestness.
Definitely a good listen.

I likes this book
Would you listen to 13 Things That Don't Make Sense again? Why?
The author reviews several anomalous scientific theories. His review is for the most part unbiased and thorough.
What did you like best about this story?
It was unpretentious and interesting.
Have you listened to any of James Adams’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
This is the first time I have listed to James Adam's performance. I will listen to more of his performances.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
I found the contention between Newtonian physics and Quantum physics interesting.
Any additional comments?
