A Though on Oddities in Science
Through time, modern science has collected innumerable facts that do not seem to fit in any existing theory. Work has been done to collect such oddities, notably by William Corliss http://www.science-frontiers.com/, but also others. Usually such facts are put aside, disregarded and forgotten, or labeled “measuring mistakes” due to unreliable sources, unrepeatable fantasies. No doubt many so-called facts are no facts, but mere misinterpretations, perhaps (un)consciously due to wishful thinking. But others should be taken serious, and can become supportive of theories still to be developed. Students could search for such oddities in different fields and look at them from refreshed viewpoints.
