The idea that scientists are somehow smarter than the rest of us is a common yet dangerous misconception, getting us off the hook for not knowing or caring how the world works. How did science become so divorced from our everyday experience? Is scientific understanding so far out of reach for the nonscientists among us? As science popularizer Chad Orzel argues in Eureka, even the people who are most forthright about hating science are doing science, often without even knowing it. Orzel shows that science isn't something alien and inscrutable, beyond the capabilities of ordinary people; it's central to the human experience. Every human can think like a scientist and regularly does so in the course of everyday activities. The disconnect between this reality and most people's perceptions is mostly due to the common misconception that science is a body of (boring, abstract, often mathematical) facts. #ad Disclosure: As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
