Description

Explore the complex relationship between scientific research and the influence of conventional wisdom in Exploding a Myth. Written by Jeremy Dunning-Davies and published by Woodhead Publishing, this book challenges the idea that all scientific topics are open for free discussion. Through a detailed examination of modern science, the author argues against the mythical conception that every theory is subject to open debate. The text looks at how certain concepts, such as relativity, the Big Bang theory, and the existence of black holes, often function as accepted facts rather than subjects of active dispute. This work provides a unique perspective on how scientific development is shaped by prevailing beliefs. It is a thought-provoking read for those interested in the philosophy of science and the social pressures that affect research and development in today's modern climate.

Challenges the assumption that all scientific topics are open for unrestricted discussion.

Analyzes how theories like relativity and the Big Bang become accepted scientific facts.

Provides a critical look at the boundaries between science and science fiction.

Written by Jeremy Dunning-Davies to explore the influence of social consensus on science.
