About this listen
Science is often portrayed as a realm of certainty—precise formulas, flawless methods, and sudden “eureka” moments of revelation. But the truth is far more complex, fragile, and deeply human. This book explores the hidden life of science: its adventurism and audacity, its errors and illusions, its entanglement with power, and its uneasy partnership with machines. From Galileo’s distortions to Newton’s mysticism, from the courage of forgotten pioneers to the rise of artificial intelligence, it shows that discovery is never simply the triumph of logic, but the drama of risk, failure, persistence, and passion. Science does not transcend humanity—it expresses it. And only by embracing this tension can knowledge remain not just useful, but true.
