| Samenvatting | If so, or indeed if not, then Daedalus is your man. This book brings together 148 of his highly scientific proposals on these and allied matters. Daedalus, the court jester in the palace of science and engineering, began his amazing career in 1964 in the weekly magazine New Scientist. His remit, brilliantly achieved, was to confuse the scientific community in general. In 1988 he graduated to The Guardian and also to the prestigious pages of Nature, where he bamboozles the Nobel prizewinners. His delusive proposals steam boldly out along the solid track of accepted science and technology, but somehow rapidly go off the rails -- or do they? This second compilation of his finest schemes includes a look at one from his first compilation (The Inventions of Daedalus, 1982) which did indeed wind up in the Nobel prize lists. |
