I found this book very repetitive and mostly boring. If you have a scientific background or a logical mindset this book is redundant.

This is a great primer on science and on how scientists think. It would be perfect for the classroom if there wouldn't be cries of indoctrination immediately.

2.5 stars bc he owned covid deniers ..... there were some interesting points made and i rlly enjoyed hearing him break down some theoreticals involving physics, the speed of light, etc but the conclusions he was coming to were all pretty basic in the end. it was interesting how he compared conspiracy theorists and their efforts to PROVE vs. scientists and their efforts to DISPROVE. i'd recommend this to someone not super familiar w the scientific method but it just made me want to read about string theory honestly

 Strange I read it a second time and didn't realize it.  It was still an accurate defense of science.  It wasn't that interesting, but it was short.
