Are there any more examples of scientists being exposed as liars and academic frauds?

"When a lot of the fake peer reviews first came up, one of the reasons the editors spotted them was that the reviewers responded on time," Wager told Ars. Reviewers almost always have to be chased, so "this was the red flag. And in a few cases, both the reviews would pop up within a few minutes of each other."

He's a meme and a mathematician

Here's an interview with him on his youtube channel where he talks about some of his meme-worthy point of views

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_dGqavx5AU&t=3s

general gist is that he thinks big numbers don't exist, and hence infinite/irrational numbers don't exist. They can only exist if it can be represented within our universe, and that the math Illuminati refuses to accept that.

>An earlier study by John S. Michael, then an undergraduate at Macalester College in St. Paul, concluded that Morton’s results were “reasonably accurate,” with no clear sign of manipulation. But when others suggested Dr. Gould had been refuted, Philip Kitcher, a philosopher of science at Columbia University, rode to his defense.

“It is not entirely evident that one should prefer the measurements of an undergraduate to those of professional paleontologist,” he wrote in 2004. “Pending further measurement of the skulls and further analysis of the data, it seems best to let this grubby affair rest in a footnote.”

Dr. Kitcher said last week that the Penn team had done a “very careful job” and that “it’s a nice thing that undergraduate work gets vindicated.”

As for the new finding’s bearing on Dr. Gould’s reputation, Dr. Kitcher said: “Steve doesn’t come out as a rogue but as someone who makes mistakes. If Steve were around he would probably defend himself with great ingenuity.”

What does this mean for human evolution? Does it imply certain races are more primitive, or that Erectus had human intelligence?

Skull size has nothing to do with intelligence or IQ. We already know that.

We also have genetics now, which as shown us the truth regardless.

>> No.8868965

Is /sci/ really so far down the "truth at all costs" rabbit hole that it believes scientists shouldn't evidence about racial differences to prevent a major social crisis?

We're not talking about elementary particles here. These are flesh-and-blood human beings who care deeply about their worth to society. If you think there won't be blowback to trumpeting IQ differences, you're a pack of fools or assholes, either one.

No one is concealing anything. Research on human genetics is going on all the time. It's just that real science doesn't have the answers your emotions want. Crainiometry is not a real science.
