Theory of Improbability

Why do we age? Is it true that most bacteria are harmless? What good is a dead octopus in a nightclub? Max Kidruk answers these and other questions in his new book.

"Theory of Improbability" was created based on the scripts of the popular science radio blog of the same name, the episodes of which were broadcast on "Ukrainian Radio" in the second half of 2021. The book contains seventy stories that debunk widespread myths, and also explain various technologies, events, and phenomena from the point of view of science. What were tyrannosaurs really like, why shouldn't solar power plants be built in the Sahara, are there extra spatial dimensions, etc.. All these stories are simple and concise, and at the same time, they are impressive. Each discovers something new - incredible and fascinating. Something to show off on a date or talk about with friends.
