THE SCIENCE OF RICK AND MORTY: WHAT EARTH’S STUPIDEST SHOW CAN TEACH US ABOUT QUANTUM PHYSICS, BIOLOGICAL HACKING AND EVERYTHING ELSE IN OUR UNIVERSE
Book ID/图书代码： 01956019C00001
English Summary/英文概要： Rick and Morty is funny. It’s irreverent, it’s philosophical, it can be in equal parts depressing and life-affirming, and it’s also one of the smartest shows on television. Much of the world of Rick and Morty is built on cutting-edge science: hacking memories and dreams, the multiverse, cloning, biohacking and human augmentation, aliens, evolution, artificial intelligence, particle physics and cosmology.
Maybe that scene where Summer grew into a giant, or where Rick and Morty shrank to negotiate a peace settlement with a microscopic species got you thinking about why we can’t make a shrink or growth ray. Maybe the episode where Rick turns himself into a pickle to avoid family counselling raised questions about whether it’s possible to transfer one’s consciousness into a vegetable. I for one am much less certain that we’re not all living in a simulation since watching season 1.
Using the biology, chemistry and physics from the show, science teacher and pop culture writer Matt Brady will ponder these conundrums and many more including: the science behind dark matter, aliens, intelligence hacking, the multiverse, memory implants, brain transplants, whether you really can control a cockroach’s nervous system with your tongue…
All of that and more. Explained in an irreverent, light hearted manner which will appeal to the millennial audience for whom Rick + Morty is the number 1 rated show, when you close this book, you’re going to be ready to ask new questions, rather than wondering what happened or how we got there.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 美国动画片《瑞克和莫蒂》非常搞笑。有些地方看似无厘头，但是却充满哲理。它既令人沮丧，又为生活带来勇气。它也是最睿智的影视作品之一。《瑞克和莫蒂》中的世界大部分是建立在尖端科学之上的：破解记忆和梦境、多元宇宙、克隆、生物破解和人类增强、外星人、进化、人工智能、粒子物理学和宇宙学。
也许那个萨默成长为一个巨人的场景，或者是瑞克和莫蒂缩成一团、与一个微小的物种谈判和平解决方案的场景，会让你思考为什么我们不能制造出一条收缩或生长的射线。也许瑞克为了躲避家庭咨询问题而变成一颗泡菜的那一集提出了是否有可能将一个人的意识转化为一种蔬菜的问题。从第一季开始，我就不确定我们是不是都生活在一个模拟的世界里。
利用节目中的生物学、化学和物理学，科学老师和流行文化作家马特•布雷迪将会对众多的难题进行探索，包括：暗黑物质背后的科学、外星人、情报窃听、多元宇宙、记忆植入、大脑移植、你是否真的可以控制一只蟑螂的神经系统与你的舌头......
本书以一种不敬、轻松的方式解释上述各种问题，将吸引千禧一代的观众。对他们来说，《瑞克和莫蒂》是排名第一的节目。当你合上这本书的时候，你将准备好提出新的问题，而不是仅仅了解发生了什么，或者是我们是如何做到这一点的。（XMM）
Awards/获奖情况：毫无疑问，你一定听说过由丹•哈蒙和贾斯汀•罗兰德创作的风靡全球的动画系列剧《瑞克和莫蒂》——也许你还可能是是在第三季开播24小时内收看第一集的1100万观众之一……
无论你是否会为这部剧加长了70集而欢呼雀跃，我希望你能喜欢这本《<瑞克和莫蒂>中的科学知识》，本书通过一个酗酒的天才和他倒霉的孙子的疯狂星际冒险对我们这个时代最大问题进行了非官方探索。
You’ll no doubt have heard of Rick and Morty, the international hit animated series created by Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland – perhaps you were even one of the 11 million people who tuned in to watch the first episode of season three within 24 hours of release...
Whether or not you personally cheered at the news that the show has been extended for at least 70 more episodes, I hope you’ll be interested in taking a look at The Science of Rick and Morty, an unofficial exploration of the biggest questions of our time through the crazy intergalactic adventures of an alcoholic genius and his hapless grandson.
