A revealing and entertaining guide through some of the biggest
misconceptions in science that many of us still believe. You may
well be familiar with the fact that lightning, contrary to the
popular saying, often strikes the same place twice. But this is
just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to what many of us
wrongly believe about the way the world works. Whether it's word of
mouth, myths you've read about online, or misremembered facts from
school, we're bombarded by misconceptions about the science we come
into contact with every day - this book will uncover the most
popular myths to help you avoid contributing to the perpetuation of
these misunderstandings. Breaking it down into fifty of the most
popular misconceptions in science, each chapter of this book will
be headed up with a 'fact', followed by the real story, providing
the science and theory that debunks the myth. From fears about the
exponential growth of the human population to the embarrassment of
always pointing out the north star as the brightest in the sky,
this is the book to read if you want to separate the science fact
from fiction.
