When Findings Become Inventions
January 30th, 2008
All the world welcome new inventions for there could never be enough good inventions for mankind who is notorious for causing its own problems. Just how far some “scientists” would go to credit themselves with accomplishments provided by doctored or bogus findings, no one would really know. When scientific findings become inventions themselves, there must be something terribly wrong about the situation.
History would attest to the fact that even if such instances are rare in the science field, they do happen, not exempting even the most popular and renowned scientists. Spurious science reveals itself in many ways. The human brain finds it very difficult to duplicate the elements of randomness of scientific data. Image editing tools can root out signs of image tampering. It could be very hard to imagine what the effects of actual scientific misconduct could do.
