關於本電子書

Shocking Science Fails explores the crucial role of failure in scientific progress. It highlights how scientific endeavors that went awry, debunked theories, and failed experiments have shaped our understanding of the world. Instead of portraying science as a linear path of successes, the book examines the iterative process punctuated by errors, and how these missteps contribute to refining methodologies. For instance, early anesthesia development involved scientists experimenting on themselves, sometimes with fatal results, illustrating the high stakes and unpredictable nature of scientific exploration.

The book adopts a historical perspective, examining experiments and theories within their specific contexts, making it accessible to a general audience interested in science history. A key argument is that scientific failures aren't mere setbacks but are integral to advancing knowledge. By analyzing these missteps, we can identify flaws in reasoning and arrive at a more accurate understanding.

The book progresses by first introducing the concept of ""failure"" in science, then exploring case studies of experiments with unexpected results, and finally examining theories that were widely accepted but later proven incorrect, such as the phlogiston theory of combustion. By focusing on the human stories behind scientific failures, the book humanizes science and emphasizes the importance of critical thinking.
