Description
This book explores the truth behind many of the famous stories about scientists and their famous experiments. The first section describes experiments by Pasteur, Millikan, Eddington and F.W Taylor. It describes how their preconceived notions and extraneous factors made them suppress and sometimes even manipulate data to support a cause that they had already decided on. The second part describes cases where reports of experiments and scientists by "science historians" were not faithful to the reality and how this distorted the picture that the later generations had of these people.
