About this listen

This book revisits some simple scientific research data which could be considered as the equivalent to Chicken Little's alarm call that the sky is falling. Based on materials widely distributed in the press, the author examines how the superstitions gain a place in the scientific research work, debunking some of them with simple arguments that can be taken from most high school manuals. The author stops to look at climate issues, vaccines, population explosion, homosexuality, to quantum physics and few other issues that makes "experts" out of ordinary Hollywood actors or TV anchormen and women. This book make convince the listener that logical thinking is in short supply in most areas of human activity. Is that an alarming state of affairs? You be the judge.
