In his new book, quantum physicist and successful science popularizer Jim Al-Khalili offers eight reflections on the topic of how it can be beneficial for every person to adopt (at least a little) the scientific method of learning about the world. The way of thinking that scientists have perfected for centuries has brought undoubted achievements to mankind - just look at our modern technologies, the achievements of medical science and other results of scientific work.
