About this lecture

A cold-open at a workbench, the four-tier disciplinary spine introduced as a tool the listener will carry across twelve lectures, six credentialed peer-reviewed currently-unexplained anomalies, and the historical garage-inventor tradition from Faraday 1831 through the Fusor.net amateur fusioneers. Host-only.

What you'll learn

Each claim in this lecture is placed on the four-tier disciplinary spine: peer-reviewed-replicated, peer-reviewed-once, patent-attested, or claim-only. By the end of Season 1 listeners can read any new physics claim in this territory and place it correctly.
