What happens when a guest cancels at the last minute? What happens when a random drunk spews verbal diarrhea about a "dark star" with a system of "dark planets" scheduled to impact our solar system in 2012 just before show time? Find out in this weeks Rational Alchemy. News stories include two instances of religious wackiness, the LHC, Sir David Attenborough and the Yeti, and a discussion of state senator and professional douchebag Dave Schultheis. Also discussions about phony medicine and light pollution.

No Libel Laws in Science

The use of the English libel laws to silence critical discussion of medical practice and scientific evidence discourages debate, denies the public access to the full picture and encourages use of the courts to silence critics. The British Chiropractic Association has sued Simon Singh for libel. The scientific community would have preferred that it had defended its position about chiropractic through an open discussion in the medical literature or mainstream media.
