Hi socra...@bezeqint.net
Shechtman also did work on quasicrystals at NIST,
as a visiting scientist in the same materials division
that I was in. I don't know why he got such a shoddy
treatment-- whether it was political or antisemitic or
professional jealousy. There was one world- famous
physicist-metallurgist in our group that worked closely
with him and might have shared the glory, but it
would be unkind to that physicist to cast such aspersions.
Actually, that can't be true, since, as you relate, Shechtman
also had problems in Israel.

Lecture : Scientific heresy. Nov 1, 2011 in Edinburgh.
/ By Matt Ridley /
My topic today is scientific heresy.
When are scientific heretics right and when are they mad?
How do you tell the difference between science and pseudoscience?

Just this month Daniel Shechtman won the 2011 Nobel Prize
in chemistry for quasi crystals, having spent much of his career
being vilified and exiled as a crank
? was thrown out of my research group.
They said I brought shame on them with what I was saying.?
