    <body><![CDATA[Koestler surveys the history of astronomy and concludes that most of what the great thinkers believed was superstitious and wrong. For example, it took the genius of Sir Isaac Newton to find just three incredibly useful planetary laws in the volumes Johannes Kepler had written on the spiritual &quot;music of the spheres.&quot; Then it took Maxwell and others, including Einstein, to extract the useful parts of Newtonian physics and mathematics from his wild musings.<br/><br/>Hence the title. Many of our greatest discoveries resulted from blind luck when stumbling around in the dark.<br/><br/>Two words: academic humility!]]></body>
