I was chatting with Simon about this a few weeks ago. He's definitely in this for the long haul, but is really looking forward to getting back to writing about science, not libel.
- smackfu 16y agoNice to hear. I own all three of his science books and they are excellent. I wish someone else had spent five years fighting libel charges, and he had spent five years writing new books.
- Tyrannosaurs 16y agoThree? Which are you missing? The Code Book, Fermat's Last Theorem, Big Bang or Trick or Treatment (with Edzard Ernst)?
- smackfu 16y agoTrick or Treatment, because I don't need a book to tell me that is BS.
- nanairo 16y agoThis is what scares me. It is in the nature of science that tests take a lot of time and effort. On the other hand, if you do _not_ follow science you can come up with a new theory every day. And to make it all the worst the scientist can be sued. Basically this way the anti-science groups can grind to a halt all of science. I don't want to think all the time good scientist can lose defending themselves from non-scientist instead of doing what they were trying to do: science.
