"What is happening around! Before, life was calm, but now..." - this opinion can be heard more and more often. Indeed, if you carefully look around, maintaining reasonable skepticism and open-mindedness, without taking anything on faith, it turns out that we live in a very strange world that, well, does not want to fit into the given scientific framework. One after another, researchers have the strangest hypotheses, sometimes contradicting the scientific picture of the world - for example, about a flat Earth! And if we talk about politics and public life, it may seem that the world has gone crazy. The famous TV presenter Igor Prokopenko in his new book with the help of common sense explores the opinions of both famous scientists and extravagant researchers and talks about amazing facts, myths and hypotheses concerning various areas of human life.
