In queste storie splende come il giorno che anche gli uomini di scienza (veri) incappavano in assurde teorie solo perché non riuscivano a capire il mondo, così come è chiaro che sicuramente anche ora staranno pensando a qualche teoria sbagliata ignari di dati di cui forse beneficeranno i posteri. Teorie assurde, tipo che il Titanic sarebbe affondato per colpa dei viaggiatori nel tempo, o che le piante in vaso potessero essere usate come testimoni oculari di delitti. A cheerful collection of paranormal phenomena, correct prophecies, alien encounters, and unlikely historical events.

Questo libro racchiude teorie che per fortuna al momento sono molto meno pericolose di questa che vi ho appena raccontato (quella di Rugiati, non la mia) ma che ai loro tempi hanno scatenato dibattiti infiniti di scienziati e improvvisati tali. A warts-and-all portrait of the famed techno-entrepreneur—and the warts are nearly beyond counting. The fun was rather spoiled, though, during a passage on the Hollow Earth theory that casually referenced the lizard people theory. You know, the *massively antisemitic* one (without mentioning that it was antisemitic, although the phrasing of the line makes it clear the author had that in mind).

And suddenly people holding massively irrational beliefs stopped feeling like fun any more. Ling, Thomas (3 January 2018). "9 fascinating facts about the QI Elves". RadioTimes .
