Summary of Ozan Varol's Think Like a Rocket Scientist
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 The media frenzy surrounding the discovery of organic molecules on a Martian meteorite in 1996 was a classic example of people trying to make something appear definite when in fact it isn't.
#2 Uncertainty is the enemy of certainty. You'll learn how our obsession with certainty leads us astray and why all progress takes place in uncertain conditions. You'll learn why rocket science resembles a high-stakes game of peekaboo, and what you can learn from Pluto's demotion as a planet.
#3 The fear of the uncertain is universal. We are all programmed with the same fear of the unknown, and we spend far more time and effort on trying to control the world than on trying to understand it.
#4 The quest for certainty leads us to pursue seemingly safe solutions, such as looking for our keys under street lamps. But it's only when we sacrifice the certainty of answers and take our training wheels off that breakthroughs happen.
