On the Fringes of Science

Tickets are here: https://dunne060124.eventbrite.co.uk/?aff=autoBlog

It’s a cheap shot to mock the past, but some of it really does deserve it!

Some ideas in science last and prove their worth, others are shown by time to be downright dangerous and some are just plain wrong, or quite possibly insane. And then we have the con men and the frauds.

Fake photos, deep fake, fake fossils, flat earth, hollow earth, welteislehre, Horbiger and his valve, Piltdown, Lysenko, Phrenology, Physiognomy, x rays, radium, lead paint, fags and worms.

There are just so many things to say – the people of the past were no dafter than we are, but some of the things they believed and did were just hilarious.
