The term pathological science was first coined by chemist and Nobel laureate Irving Langmuir during a speech in 1953 when he described scientific investigations done on the premise of “wishful thinking”.
From a transcript of Langmuir’s almost-lost talk:
“These are cases where there is no dishonesty involved but where people are tricked into false results by a lack of understanding about what human beings can do to themselves in the way of being […]
A local Association devoted to Product Management who is considering showing the the above film at their final monthly meeting in June asked me if it would be appropriate material within their theme of supporting the cause of Product Management. Along with providing a private showing of the film to the Board of Directors, I also prepared the following Synopsis of the movie for possible distribution to members.

Scientists (enquiring minds) must continually be motivated by the “mother” of all questions: What facets of nature remain undiscovered because what we consider (think) to be theoretical certainties prevent the posing of new challenging questions?

“Healing the Placebo Effect” gbgoble2013
Our conception of the placebo effect needs healing, no one presently understands it. Energy healing may also be misunderstood. On the one hand, actual healing caused by the placebo effect is dismissed; something […]
No.
“Cold fusion,” as reviewed in 2004, was primarily the Fleischmann-Pons Heat Effect, with palladium deuteride, through electrolytic or gas loading.
The review panel was evenly split on the issue of anomalous heat, half considering the evidence for a heat anomaly “compelling.”
The only direct evidence that the FP Heat Effect is “nuclear” is the production of helium correlated with heat, first reported by Miles in 1991, and confirmed by other groups later. There are other reported […]
Which Nobel laureates gave speeches in support of cold fusion?
Are any federal agencies involved in cold fusion research?
Who did reproduce the Fleischmann-Pons Effect (FPE) early on, and just where in the world were positive results generated?
When you need a couple of quick facts showing cold fusion is not only real, but nearing commercial potential, the 2013 History of Cold Fusion Calendar can be your source for evidence!
It’s chocked full of historical facts that answer […]
“Address the Nation: LENR Power and Expansion into Space”
This is an adaptation of a speech given by President John F. Kennedy.
The original speech should be listened to before reading the adaptation. President Kennedy’s speech gives insight into the driving forces behind NASA and our continued space programs. That context is needed to understand the adaptation of President Kennedy’s famous speech.
“On the Nation’s Space Effort”, John F. Kennedy 12 September 1962. Address at Rice University […]

Brian Josephson safeguards historic contribution of Martin Fleischmann
U.K. University of Cambridge Professor Dr. Brian Josephson, winner of the Nobel Prize in 1973 for the Josephson Effect, wrote the fine obituary published in The Guardian honoring Dr. Martin Fleischmann, co-discoverer of cold fusion who passed away earlier this year.
Focusing on Fleischmann’s life’s work, the essay was not a defense of cold fusion, though Josephson wrote, “However, progress seems to be occurring towards the application of cold fusion as a practical energy […]
