Why do we age? Is it true that most bacteria are harmless? What good is a dead octopus in a nightclub? Max Kidruk answers these and other questions in his new book.

The Improbability Theory is based on the scripts of the popular science radio blog of the same name, which was broadcast on Ukrainian Radio in the second half of 2021. The book contains seventy stories that debunk common myths and explain various technologies, events, and phenomena from a scientific perspective. The stories cover what tyrannosaurs were really like, why solar power plants should not be built in the Sahara, whether additional spatial dimensions exist, and more. All of these stories are simple and concise, and yet they are impressive. Each one reveals something new - incredible and exciting. Something you can show off on a date or discuss with your friends.
