Scientific endeavours have been around for thousands of years. Depending on the definition, one could also include the invention of the wheel or the discovery of the fire. But at least the beginnings of stargazing, including the building of Stonehenge, should mark the beginning of true science. Since then, humanity has made incredible discoveries, but has also misled itself into false conclusions. For example, in the eighteenth century, people thought that tobacco smoke blown into the anus by drowned people could bring them back to life. Some scientists also have put their life at risk - they performed operations on themselves, they were bitten by venomous animals, and they hanged themselves on the gibbet. That's why we've picked out the strangest and most exciting facts about science for you and summarized them in this book. But beware: do not try this at home! And now we wish you a lot of fun with the reading.
