The Ten Most Beautiful Experiments

The author of the ten most beautiful experiments, George Johnson, plays an important role in the book by writing it from his own perspective. Johnson is an American journalist and a science writer.

When the bubbles were forming, we could see a steam of gas coming out of the beaker. After 10 minutes, we noticed bits of zinc were floating on top of the hydrochloric acid and lining the beaker. I lifted the beaker and felt the bottom and it felt warm, which meant the reaction was still happening. After 20 minutes, we added water into the zinc and hydrochloric acid to stop the reaction and we observed a slight cloudy colour (still clear) forming as we slowly pour the water in the beaker.…

    The Lewis Thomas Prize winner most certainly took advantage of using his own struggles of understanding science to portray how he isn’t so different from his ordinary readers. “When I came to college from my Ohio home town, the most intellectually unnerving thing I discovered was how wrong many of my assumptions were about how the world works—whether the natural or the human-made world” (Gawande 2). He creates a link between the audience and himself via building a sense of relation in which people will be more…
