Everything You Know About Science is Wrong

Some scientific certainties turn out to be less certain than they seem. This book takes aim at long-held assumptions across science, maths, engineering, medicine and technology, questioning ideas many of us have accepted since childhood. Along the way it examines claims such as whether anything can truly outpace light, whether modern humans really descended from Neanderthals, and whether astronauts genuinely float free of gravity. From basic pseudoscience to the scandals of space exploration and the misquotes that have shaped popular understanding, it sets out to demystify subjects that often seem more fixed than they actually are.
