Beskrivelse på dansk
De fleste af os ved godt, hvordan vi cykler, men mister hurtigt grebet, hvis vi skal forklare, hvad hænder og fødder har styr på. Sådan er det med viden. Meget af det, vi ved, kan vi fint sætte ord på, men der er mindst lige så meget, vi ikke kan finde ud af at sige. Og hvad med det, vi ikke ved noget om eller ikke ved, at vi ikke ved? For slet ikke at nævne alt det, vi ikke må vide? Heldigvis kan Kristian Hvidtfelt Nielsen, vidende videnskabshistoriker ved Aarhus Universitet, gøre os klogere på alt det, der er værd at vide. Bare ikke lige, hvordan vi cykler.
