Science Gone Wrong!: Outrageous Facts About the World's Weirdest Experiments, Maddest Scientists, and Discoveries That Shocked Everyone (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781997925583)

What if the strangest science experiments in history were also the most important ones?

Science is supposed to be careful. Controlled. Responsible.

It often is not.

Science Gone Wrong! is packed with outrageous, jaw-dropping, real facts about the most bizarre experiments ever conducted on this planet and above it. Every fact is documented. Every result is on the public record. Nothing here is made up, which is what makes it so unbelievable.

• A flatworm was sent to the International Space Station and came back to Earth with TWO HEADS
• Scientists drilled 12 kilometres into the Earth and found liquid water where solid rock should have been
• A teenage boy stayed awake for 11 DAYS straight for a school science project. He hallucinated on day four
• Researchers woke up a microscopic worm that had been FROZEN IN ICE for 46,000 years. It started moving immediately
• Fire in SPACE burns as a perfect blue sphere and never goes out the way it does on Earth
• A single drop of a laboratory chemical dissolved straight through a scientist's protective glove in seconds, and she had no idea until six months later
• Bacteria placed on the OUTSIDE of the Space Station survived three years of open space, vacuum, and cosmic radiation

Inside this book you will discover outrageous, wackiest, mind-blowing facts spanning ten categories:

• Secrets and cover-ups: Government experiments nobody was supposed to know about
• Explosions and disasters: The worst scientific accidents in history and what caused them
• Mind and behavior: Psychology experiments that revealed how strange ordinary people really are
• The human body: What happens when scientists push the body to its absolute limits
• Space science: The strangest experiments ever run aboard the International Space Station
• Planet hacking: What happens when humans try to control the weather, drill to the Earth's core, or blow up a harbor with a nuclear bomb
• Accidental discoveries: The breakthroughs that happened entirely by mistake
• Animals in science: The bizarre, the unexpected, and the surprisingly heroic
• Experiments that changed history: The ten discoveries that permanently rewired how humans live
• Physics and reality: The experiments that proved the universe makes absolutely no common sense

Every fact in this book is real, verified, and documented. No speculation. No exaggeration. Just the actual record, which turns out to be far stranger than anything anyone could invent.
