Why do we age? Is it true that most bacteria are harmless? What good is a dead octopus in a nightclub? Max Kidruk answers these and other questions in his new book.
"The Theory of Improbability" is based on the scripts of the popular science radio blog of the same name, the episodes of which were broadcast on "Ukrainian Radio" in the second half of 2021. The book contains seventy stories that debunk common myths, as well as explain various technologies, events, and phenomena from a scientific point of view. What tyrannosaurs really were like, why solar power plants should not be built in the Sahara, are there additional spatial dimensions, etc. All these stories are simple and concise, and at the same time - they are impressive. Each one reveals something new - incredible and exciting. Something that you can show off on a date or discuss with friends.
