When Science Becomes Stupid

When Science Becomes Stupid explores the fine line between scientific success and hubris, examining how even intelligent individuals and institutions can fall into the trap of arrogance when they mistake models for reality. Drawing on diverse fields like philosophy, history, and psychology, the book highlights the importance of humility, open-mindedness, and rigorous skepticism to ensure science remains a powerful tool for understanding the universe. It emphasizes that the path to meaningful discovery lies in better, more self-critical science—one that embraces uncertainty and continually questions its own assumptions.
