Are Universes Thicker Than Blackberries?: Discourses on Godel, Magic Hexagrams, Little Red Riding Hood, and Other Mathematical and Pseudoscientific Topics
Martin Gardner
Martin Gardner - the most devastating debunker of scientific fraud and chicanery of our time - is at work again with his keen scepticism, skewering the fallacies of pseudoscience, from Dr Bruno Bettelheim’s erroneous theory of autism to the farce of Primal Scream therapy. He examines the bizarre tangents produced by Freudians and deconstructionists in their critiques of ‘Little Red Riding Hood’. He also explores such questions as: could Hemmingway have benefited from a class on anger management?; can a man really bend a spoon with his mind?; can time go backwards?; and did the Messiah live in Brooklyn?
