Re: [Phys-l] Watch "60 minutes" today



Speaking of path. science, well -- perhaps more fraud in science, the first article** in the first issue of Physics in Perspective is about Emil Rupp.

** By A.P. French!

bc Heard of Blondlot (long ago), but not Rupp 'till last year.

p.s. I an NOT suggesting any fraud in "cold fusion".

HI

I have no expertise on this particular topic however I think there are
some interesting comments which might apply from a lecture by I.
Langmuir as recorded in an article in Physics Today, Oct. 1989, page 36.
In the article (a transcription by R. N. Hall from a recording of
Langmuir) a short list of aspects which are common among examples of
'pathological science' is given. I wonder how many apply to the present
case? I have the article in pdf if anyone wants it.
