Comments

This book shows that many of our understandings about scientific thought can be corrected once we realise just how unnatural science actually is. Quoting scientists from Aristotle to Einstein, the author argues that scientific ideas are, with rare exceptions, counter-intuitive and that common sense often makes no sense at all.
