The Scientific Method

Remember in science classes in school when you knew what the result of a calculation was meant to be (the acceleration due to gravity, the speed of light in a vacuum, etc.) so you just worked back from that and from the formulae to invent the "data" that your experiment "measured"? Maybe the more daring among us would eventually have given up on that charade and produced something like the paper entitled Electron Band Structure In Germanium, My Ass.

Now that made me giggle, I love when science suddenly realises that some bits just dont work. With that in mind, and the ultimate futility of existance being proven by the inability of science to prve itself, do you fancy a drink?
