About “Sleep walkers”
The Sleepwalkers: A History of Man's Changing Vision of the Universe is a 1959 book by Arthur Koestler. It covers the history of Western cosmology from ancient Mesopotamia to Isaac Newton. Koestler argues that scientific discoveries occur through a process he compares to sleepwalking. He does not claim these discoveries happen by chance, but rather that scientists are not fully aware of the forces guiding their work or the full impact of their findings. The book examines how humanity's understanding of the universe has evolved over time. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
