Become a BRAIN DETECTIVE and uncover the best-kept secrets about the most mysterious organ in the human body: the brilliant and bizarre brain

We may imagine that science is a process of breakthroughs and light bulb moments. But in reality, science goes wrong 99% of the time. Almost every idea a scientist comes up with is quickly disproved by a failed experiment or rival research. Science moves at a rate of inches per decade and we often like it that way. But occasionally, just occasionally, a complete fluke happens and changes everything as we know it. From an untimely sneeze in a petri dish leading to the groundbreaking creation of antibiotics, to the incredible discovery of microwaves via melted chocolate, Accidental is a rip-roaring adventure through science gone wrong, and accidentally changing humanity for the better.

Nauka to zwykle świat żmudnych badań i recenzji naukowych, ale czasami zdarza się wpadka lub chwila niezdarności, która prowadzi do przełomu. Przypadkiem opowiada alternatywną historię postępu naukowego, która sprawi, że ponownie przemyślisz znaczenie słowa ups!. Od kichnięcia na szalkę Petriego, dzięki któremu odkryto antybiotyki, po wykrycie mikrofal za pomocą roztopionego batonika Tim James zebrał najzabawniejsze i najdziwniejsze przykłady tego, jak nauka wielokrotnie dawała nam coś, o co wcale jej nie prosiliśmy. Dowiedz się, w jaki sposób doszło do wynalezienia zapałek, jak Einstein wpadł na szczególną teorię względności, skąd wzięły się bąbelki w szampanie, co wspólnego ma płyn do czyszczenia toalet z produkcją bomb, a gołębia kupa z Wielkim Wybuchem. Oto fascynująca i pełna humoru opowieść o mnóstwie niezamierzonych, nieoczekiwanych i bardzo często niehigienicznych zbiegów okoliczności i o zaskakujących momentach eureki, które zmieniły świat zwykle na lepsze. Nigdy nie wiadomo, kiedy jesteśmy bliscy tego, by zmienić świat. Nie zawsze chodzi o to, by być we właściwym miejscu i we właściwym czasie wręcz przeciwnie, rewolucja często zaczyna się, ponieważ ktoś znalazł się w niewłaściwym miejscu i w niewłaściwym czasie.
