Plastic Fantastic: How the Biggest Fraud in Physics Shook the Scientific World

摘要

Experimental integrity and sterling, scientific standards are of utmost importance to most scientists. That's fair to say. What goes wrong in the implementation of research and development of their experiments and how an occasional "bad apple" appears among the most highly valued scientists in the world and then misrepresents their results has enraged-and puzzled-scientists, and probably everyone else, for centuries. It also happens to be the basis for a recent book, Plastic Fantastic: How the Biggest Fraud in Physics Shook the Scientific World, by Eugenie Samuel Reich.
