Summary

Pointless Studies explores the fascinating world of scientific inquiry, focusing on research that seems trivial but often leads to unexpected breakthroughs. This book champions curiosity-driven research, highlighting how seemingly pointless investigations can unlock fundamental insights across various scientific disciplines.

 
For example, studies on why pigeons bob their heads have revealed principles applicable to robotics and visual perception, demonstrating that even the most esoteric topics can yield practical applications.

 
The book argues that judging research solely on immediate applicability is flawed, as many landmark discoveries stemmed from initially undervalued studies. By examining case studies from animal behavior to human physiology, Pointless Studies reveals the surprising consequences of scientific exploration.

 
The book begins by outlining core principles of scientific inquiry, then progresses through examples and concludes by advocating for a re-evaluation of how we assess the value of scientific research. This approach encourages readers to embrace intellectual curiosity and support scientific endeavors that may not have immediate practical benefits.
Available since: 03/29/2025.

    "The book that defined how the world works."
    
    In The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy, Isaac Newton didn't just explain how things move; he provided the mathematical proof for the mechanics of the entire universe. Moving beyond the speculative theories of his predecessors, Newton used rigorous geometric proofs to establish his Three Laws of Motion. From the falling of an apple to the orbits of the planets, he demonstrated that the same physical forces apply everywhere. This masterwork transformed the study of nature from a branch of philosophy into the modern discipline of physics, forever changing our understanding of space, time, and force.
    
    The Law of Universal Gravitation: Newton's most famous contribution within these pages is the derivation of the inverse-square law of gravity. He proved that every mass in the universe attracts every other mass, providing the first coherent explanation for why the moon orbits the Earth and why the planets remain in their paths around the sun.
    
    A Triumph of Mathematical Logic: Though Newton had developed calculus (which he called "fluxions"), he wrote the Principia using classical geometric proofs to ensure his contemporaries could follow his revolutionary logic. The result is a work of staggering intellectual density that remains the gold standard for scientific inquiry.
    
    Why It Is Essential: To own the Principia is to own the spark of the Scientific Revolution. It is the bridge between the ancient world and the space age, a testament to the power of the human mind to decode the hidden laws of nature.

    Steel is the metal that built the modern world. When its formula was finally deciphered about 150 years ago, it began to flow from hearths in increasing amounts. It built railroads, steel ships, skyscrapers, and bridges around the world, in the process propelling the great powers of the world -- Great Britain, Germany, the United States, Japan, and the Soviet Union -- into global economic dominance. 
    In Steel, author Brooke C. Stoddard follows the fascinating story of iron and steel from pre-history through the Industrial Revolution and into the present age. Stoddard then dives into the world of modern steelmaking, joining the men and women who live in this world every day: he visits open-pit iron mines in the Mesabi Iron range, rides with 58,000 tons of iron ore on a thousand-foot ore boat from Duluth to Cleveland, climbs to the top of the country’s largest blast furnace, interviews workers as they toil next to their furnaces of liquid metal, and walks through the immense rolling mills where steel is pressed into products. 
    The result is an extraordinary book about what many may think of as ordinary, but in reality is the metal that forms the backbone of modern civilization.
