The apple did not fall on Newton's head

Author's name: Anton Hulot

The apple did not fall on Newton's head, Archimedes did not shout "Eureka!" while running naked down the street, and Galileo was not alone in his confrontation with the Church.
Science, as presented to us in books and curricula, is often surrounded by simple, attractive stories… but simply untrue.
In this clever and exciting book, the author reveals how some of the most famous scientific tales were crafted to serve larger narratives: about genius, discovery, and the “official” history of science.
This is not just a correction of errors, but a journey into how scientific myths are made.
Because the apple did not fall, but the story fell into the collective consciousness, and settled there… until now.
