In this compelling tour through the world of anomalous research,
Richard Milton makes clear what the scientific establishment takes
pains to deny: plenty of hard experimental evidence already exists
for such things as cold fusion, paranormal phenomena, bioenergy,
and the effectiveness of alternative medicine. Because these
subjects and those who dare to investigate them are continually
denied legitimacy by what can only be called the "paradigm police,"
the public is led to believe that all claims made about such topics
are completely groundless. With humor and an eye for the telling
detail, the author describes many instances when the defenders of
scientific orthodoxy acted with unscientific rigidity in the face
of the evidence. Faraday, Roentgen, Edison, and even the Wright
Brothers were thought to be charlatans by their contemporaries.
Taking the broad view of the way science is done, Milton discusses
the forces at work in the marginalization of unorthodox research,
and makes the reader wonder if there is not something fundamentally
wrong with the way that science is currently being practiced.
