Mario Livio is an internationally known astrophysicist at the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI). He is the author of The Golden Ratio, a highly acclaimed book for which he received the International Pythagoras Prize and the Peano Prize; The Equation That Couldn’t Be Solved; Is God a Mathematician?; and The Accelerating Universe. He lives in Baltimore, Maryland.
We all make mistakes. Nobody is perfect. And that includes five of the greatest scientists in history -- Charles Darwin, William Thomson (Lord Kelvin), Linus Pauling, Fred Hoyle, Albert Einstein. But the mistakes that these great scientists made helped science to advance. Indeed, as Mario Livio explains in this fascinating book, science thrives on error; it advances when erroneous ideas are disproven. All five scientists were great geniuses and fascinating human beings. Their blunders were part of their genius and part of the scientific process. Livio brilliantly analyses their errors to show where they were wrong and right, but what makes his book so enjoyable to read is Livio's analysis of the psychology of these towering figures. Along the way the reader learns an enormous amount about the evolution of life on earth and in the universe, but from an unusual vantage point -- the mistakes of great scientists rather than the achievements that made them famous.

19 Brilliant Blunder:From Darwin to Einstein - Colossal Mistakes by Great Scientists That Changed Our Understanding of Life and the Universe by Mario Livio Audiobook 07/27/2014 點評:此書作者講述瞭數位科學傢達爾文、開爾文、鮑林、弗雷德•霍伊爾和愛因斯坦的科研過程中齣現的錯誤以及他們的錯誤對於未來發展的意義。論述有餘,趣味性欠缺,寫得個人感覺比較枯燥,結構也很鬆散,不是很推薦閱讀,2星半
評分有些書要有一定年齡經曆讀起來纔會有感觸,這本正相反,建議趁大學物理化學還沒忘光之前抓緊讀,是理科生可能會喜歡讀的書。
