Elizabeth Finkel
In the 17th century, the scientific revolution gave us a solid foundation for how to build knowledge. Elizabeth Finkel’s book ‘Proof’ reveals the scientific method in action in the 21st century.
She tells six compelling stories of how big theories, from Einstein’s general relativity to theories of consciousness, are currently being put to the test.
Finkel’s message is that there has never been a more important moment for the public to learn about the scientific method.
