Description

The introduction explains that science is a distinctive way of understanding the world that does not always follow ordinary human intuition or common sense. Lewis Wolpert argues that scientific thinking requires a special approach based on evidence, experimentation, and the development of theories that may challenge everyday beliefs. The book introduces the idea that many scientific discoveries appear surprising because human minds evolved to deal with practical daily experiences rather than abstract scientific concepts. The author aims to help readers understand how science works, why scientific ideas can be difficult to accept, and how science has shaped modern society
