By Mario Livio
Mario digs deep into big mistakes made by big minds-- Darwin, Pauling, Einstein. He covers there theories, the times and speculates why they did, or didn't make a mistake. In Einstein's case the jury is still out on the Cosmological constant.
I'm surprised he didn't cover Pauling's obsession with Vitamin C.
Why are mistakes made? Ego, oversight, laziness, bad luck.
