Cold fusion = Pathological science ???



1) An interesting piece from Brian Josephson (Nobel prize in 1973 for
the discovery of a superconducting electronic switch) about
pseudoscience.

It is his lecture at the last annual meeting of Nobel winners in
Landau, Germany. According to Haiko Lietz, a science reporter who
attended the gathering: "the Lindau conference was very interesting,
as one can imagine. Brian Josephson created a big stir. He spoke
extensively on cold fusion, and how unscientific attitudes and a
publication policy prohibited the field from becoming known in the
scientific community. He was the talk of the day. Many students were
asking him questions, they were open and interested. Reactions by the
Nobel laureates were twofold: Some seemed to be surprised that cold
fusion is still around, while others remained silent."
