Reading On the Circulation of the Blood | Alexandria
Read On the Circulation of the Blood by William Harvey. Upending medieval beliefs, Harvey's blood circulation discovery exposed a radical truth: the heart isn't a mystical spiritual center, but a mechanical pump. His systematic dismantling of ancient wisdom showed how questioning accepted "facts" drives progress. Most surprising? This methodical doubt birthed modern medicine, yet reminds us how many "certainties" we still cling to today.
