Seven "Mavericks" [LONE VOICES] of science
bucking the tide of near consensus among their peers.
Each one of those Lone Voices challenging the philosophy,
the definition, the commonly accepted procedures and results
obtained by the majority in contemporary science.
What you may call an "anomoly" they consider valid
research areas. New Scientist magazine is again challenging
the orthodox bounds of what is called "science".
You can bet that the magazine will be inundated
with angry letters, e-slurs and insults, hate mail and cancelled subscriptions.

The New Scientist magazine in question is dated
December/09-15/2006.
The article in question goes from pages 44 to 57.
It deals with controversial research subjects that may or may not
go beyond the boundaries of science: [i.e., cold-fusion, telepathy,
quantum computers, etc].
The article covers seven individuals, of whom six are recognized as
professional scientists with Phd's, two of the scientists have
won Nobel Prizes...Yes, NOBEL PRIZES!
What does that say about Nobel Prizes?

The seven individuals include Harry Collins, David Deutsch, et al.
Unfortunately, Nick Hoffman is not among those mavericks listed in
the article.
Unless you are a die-hard "orthodox" science-worker or scientist, like our
own R.L., you will find your perception or description of science and the
scientific method challenged by those seven mavericks.

I admit...those seven individuals have more GUTS than most people
I know in cyberspace.
