Download The Secret Anarchy of Science: Free Radicals AudioBook Free
For more than a century, science has cultivated a sober open public image for itself. But as best-selling writer Michael Brooks talks about, the truth is completely different: quite a few most successful researchers have more in common with libertines than librarians. This thrilling exploration of some of the best breakthroughs in science uncovers the extreme lengths some researchers go to in order to make their theories open public. Fraud, suppressing data, and unethical or reckless PR game titles are sometimes essential to bring the best and most fantastic discoveries to the world's attention. Inspiration will come from the most unorthodox of places, and Brooks presents us to Nobel laureates who get their ideas through drugs, dreams, and hallucinations. Research is an extremely competitive and ruthless willpower, and only it's most identified and passionate experts make headlines - and history. To succeed, knowledge must be pursued by any means: in science, anything goes.
