Skyfall: When the Stars of Science Shine

If the sky lights up in the era you live in, the world will be played hundreds of years later—— What will you see? Medieval Europeans saw: trains replaced carriages, electric lights replaced candles, humans landed on the moon, and plagues were eliminated in test tubes. But the sky never stops at the grand picture of civilization. It will suddenly cut to a lonely room: Newton destroying Hooke's final portrait. Einstein regretted a letter he wrote to Roosevelt for the rest of his life. Mendel's paper was not cited, Faraday forgot about electromagnetic induction, Turing's body was distorted by hormones, and Darwin did not dare to let his wife see his deepest fear until his death. This is a book about "pioneers". About those who walk alone in the dark before daylight. And the unknown wounds they left behind.
