Whoa. Surfer Dude does History of Science. On TedTalks, like, seven years ago. Cosmic. And hey, the planet isn’t getting warmer, y’know.
Footnotes:- That is sooooo weird. The original link to the New Scientist article was so long, it broke WordPress, which put an extract at the top of the post. So I shortened it. [↩]

Didn’t he go completely off the deep end and become a crazed conspiracy theorist or something?
@Sam – Many completely loopy ideas have been laid on Mullis, and there may be a grain of truth to some of them, but essentially I think that what you see is what you get. A maverick, who may be right and may be wrong, but who has hiw own style and approach.
Thats a great talk by Kary Mullis, thanks for pointing it out.
@Duncan Hull – My pleasure; what did you think of his climate cchange skepticism?
I’m not convinced by his climate change arguments at all, but everything else he said about the importance of demonstrating and experimenting, alongwith the stuff about Boyle was entertaining and thought provoking. Speaking of Mullis, I take it you seen this PCR, who’s the daddy? video too?
I didn’t know about that video. Awesome, Dude. And dang if there isn’t a whole genre to waste my time on.
