Ever wondered what happens when brilliant minds make ridiculous mistakes? "Science Shenanigans" pulls back the laboratory curtain to reveal the hilarious human side of scientific discovery that textbooks never mention.
Behind every world-changing breakthrough lies a trail of spilled chemicals, escaped lab animals, and midnight epiphanies that arrived at the most inconvenient moments. From Newton's apple to modern quantum computing blunders, this collection of true stories showcases the fumbles, foibles, and happy accidents that have shaped our understanding of the universe.
Meet eccentric geniuses whose personal quirks rivaled their intellectual achievements. Witness fierce academic rivalries that escalated to sabotage and espionage. Experience the panic of researchers watching demonstration experiments go spectacularly wrong in front of important audiences.
This entertaining journey through scientific history reveals how many groundbreaking discoveries happened not according to meticulous plans, but through serendipity, stubbornness, and occasionally sheer dumb luck.
