Description
Book Synopsis: How the internet and powerful online tools are democratizing and accelerating scientific discovery. In Reinventing Discovery, Michael Nielsen argues that we are living at the dawn of the most dramatic change in science in more than 300 years. This change is being driven by powerful new cognitive tools, enabled by the internet, which are greatly accelerating scientific discovery. There are many books about how the internet is changing business or the workplace or government. But this is the first book about something much more fundamental: how the internet is transforming the nature of our collective intelligence and how we understand the world. Reinventing Discovery tells the exciting story of an unprecedented new era of networked science. We learn, for example, how mathematicians in the Polymath Project are spontaneously coming together to collaborate online, tackling and rapidly demolishing previously unsolved problems. We learn how 250,000 amateur astronomers are working together in a project called Galaxy Zoo to understand the large-scale structure of the Universe, and how they are making astonishing discoveries, including an entirely new kind of galaxy. These efforts are just a small part of the larger story told in this book―the story of how scientists are using the internet to dramatically expand our problem-solving ability and increase our combined brainpower. This is a book for anyone who wants to understand how the online world is revolutionizing scientific discovery today―and why the revolution is just beginning.

Are you ready to witness the most significant change in science in over three centuries? Introducing Reinventing Discovery: The New Era of Networked Science. In this groundbreaking book, Michael Nielsen explores how the internet and powerful online tools are not only democratizing scientific discovery but also accelerating it at an unprecedented pace.
Unlike other books that focus on how the internet is reshaping industries, politics, or workspaces, Reinventing Discovery delves into something even more profound – how the internet is revolutionizing our collective intelligence and transforming our understanding of the world. Nielsen takes you on a thrilling journey that reveals how scientists from diverse fields are using the internet to collaborate, solve complex problems, and make incredible discoveries.
Unleashing the power of collective problem-solving, mathematicians in the Polymath Project are joining forces online to tackle and conquer long-standing enigmas that have puzzled experts for ages. Meanwhile, a staggering community of 250,000 amateur astronomers, known as Galaxy Zoo, is revolutionizing our comprehension of the Universe's vast structure. With their collaborative efforts, they've unraveled never-before-seen celestial bodies, including an entirely novel type of galaxy.
Reinventing Discovery showcases just a fraction of the inspiring and awe-inspiring stories that unfold within its pages. By expanding our problem-solving capacity and pooling our intellectual resources, scientists are harnessing the internet's immense potential to reshaping the world as we know it. Whether you're a science enthusiast or simply curious about the future of scientific discovery, this book is a must-read.
Embark on an astonishing journey through the world of online science, and discover how the internet is spearheading the revolution in scientific research today. This is just the beginning of an extraordinary transformation that will redefine our understanding of the universe, and you don't want to miss out.
