Dear PFers,
I remember once reading of an article on scientific honesty, maybe it was in SciAm. Individuals passionate with science, making up a significant portion of the research community, may picture challenge as stimulating or even exciting. It is a great deal of pleasure when you finally get to manipulate quantum theory equations, and I even sometimes feel nostalgic remembering those blessed days when I was discovering the craziest ideas, which I knew were crazy enough and became established science. I hope the majority of my fellow researchers would share this background when facing with difficulties in their work.
Would someone happen to remember of this article accounting for those very rare events when published articles are proven to be fake data or mathematical falsity ? Or maybe you can report here if you simply happen to know such a story.
Thank you in advance for your contributions
