Some people believe that
the earth is flat, others that the Apollo moon landings were faked. The Flat
Earth International Conference is being held in November. Two days with an exhibition!
The conference website promotes a Flat Earth cruise in 2020, clearly
unconcerned that for many years marine navigation has relied upon a more
spherical model of the earth. Can we dismiss these people and ideas as
irrelevant or are there wider lessons to be learnt that impact more serious issues? Bernstein's
concept of an idiot culture maybe a bit harsh but too often
scientific rationale is lost, and sometimes poorly communicated, in a plethora
of opinions. Being right is not the same as being effective.
