Science Forums 2

[lemit]

This is something I've wanted to do for a long time.

Over the years, I've come to love (as a journalist, historian, and editor) the very strange things people strongly believe is science.

I'd like to create a repository of all those things, or at least as many as people can think of and support.

I don't want to simply replicate the general "Strange Claims Forum." I love it. I want this to be an examination of those claims that have for some reason gained some scientific community traction in support of their popular belief. That might be pretty restrictive, but I also don't want a thread that just gives people a chance to spout off. In other words, you must know that people have published the theory for it to qualify.

I have too many opening suggestions to be able to list them here, but a soft target is always THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE (Gothic organ music). Any other nominations? Any pitchforks and torches (i.e. defense of a theory)? Any comments about THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE (Gothic organ music)?

p.s. Any suggestions on how to get that music to stop?
