WHAT IF MISTAKES WERE THE KEY TO PROGRESS? In a world obsessed with perfection, this book vindicates the mistake and reveals that, in science as in life, stumbling can be the first step towards true discovery. They are not accepted, they are not admitted, nor are they forgiven. But they cannot be avoided... errors, those valuable companions of this wonderful wandering that is life. This book invites you on a surprising journey through momentous setbacks in science: to err is not only human, but also very useful! Science is often considered the realm of certainty and truth. However, doubt and error are fundamental to the progress of knowledge in all fields. As in everyday life, errors in science also occur in many ways: as a result of ideological biases, haste, absent-mindedness or chance, but they can always be the driving force behind new knowledge. KNOWING THAT EVEN THE MOST BRILLIANT SCIENTISTS HAVE MADE MISTAKES IS AN INJECTION OF OPTIMISM.
