“Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts.” So said my hero Richard Feynman, in a delicious quote I'd not heard before. Now a group of scientists, including several Nobel laureates, have written a letter in which they invoked Feynman as an example of the kind of scientific maverick they'd like to see more of.
For some reason, climatology came right to mind – with a little fantasy of Richard Feynman meeting Michael Mann. I'm pretty sure that only Feynman would leave that meeting with his ego intact :)
