In April 1902, Dr Duncan MacDougall, a physician at a small municipal hospital in Massachusetts, placed the body of a dying man on a set of platform scales. His aim - to determine the weight of the soul as it departed the body.Throughout history, scientists have pursued ideas that seemed bizarre, peculiar, or downright daft. In this sharp and witty overview of the great - and not so great - moments of scientific experimentation, Len Fisher illuminates the true process of discovery, where the brilliant has often met the bizarre and only hindsight allows us to distinguish between the two.
