| 520 | |a For more than fifty years, the world's top scientists searched for the "missing" planet Vulcan, whose existence was mandated by Isaac Newton's theories of gravity. Levenson follows the visionary scientists who inhabit the story of the phantom planet, and offers insight into how science really advances-- as opposed to the way we're taught about it in school. He illuminates some of our most iconic ideas as he recounts one of the strangest episodes in the history of science. | ||
