Introduction

i am first and foremost a student of science, and failed physicist. I wanted to pursue it, but i never felt i was going to be great at it. Science is the engine that pulls humanity forward. People respect science, but they don't understand what science is. The idea of what science is is getting hya sometimes by well meaning people who want to convince you of the science. It completely started reforming my world view. And i would credit this book as being probably the only book in the last decade, except maybe a few of nasim taleb's works or maybe one or two others scattered books, that i feel made me smarter.
