Hacking Scientific Theories

The world of science is amazing and diverse. One random observation can trigger a chain of discoveries crucial for humanity, just like with the invention of antibiotics. This book helps trace the journey of scientific thought from the earliest societies... that created primitive stone tools to our days, when genetics, medicine, physics, chemistry, artificial intelligence thrive, and space is actively studied. Here you will find theories that have become the foundation of modern science: from the first ideas about stars to modern theories about the origin of the universe and predictions of its end; from the "taming" of fire to the invention of extremely complex technical devices like the Large Hadron Collider and the Hubble and James Webb telescopes; from therapeutic bloodletting and the search for a universal cure by alchemists to the creation of antibiotics.
