As in my previous book, Science Can Be Right Because It Can Be Wrong, this book explores the answers to many questions involving science. Among these are: What is the gift of science? Does science spoil our appreciation of the world? Do we have aliens inside of us? Is lack of evidence, evidence? What is a tooth worm? Can true ideas be rightfully rejected by science? If people have the power in beer, music, and literature, should they also have it when it comes to reality? What happens when you seek and there is nothing to find? What can we learn from prehistoric art about dinosaurs and ancient astronauts? Are sea shells any good against cannonballs? What is “King Phillip Came Over From Germany Stoned” used for? Why was a gene called “Sonic Hedgehog”? Will antibiotics ever go viral? What kind of bear dissolves in water? And of course: Have scientists published articles with funny or naughty titles?

In the book, I talk about what science is and isn’t, how it works, how it is being misused by unscrupulous individuals, and how you should use it. I also include essays addressing topics that are interesting and fun, as well as stories about science and scientists, and bad science jokes, puns, and all-purpose scientific whimsy.
