I like Bad Science. Which is to say, I really enjoy the column of that name in The Guardian written by Ben Goldacre.
I’m a sucker for anything that shows that the opposite of what most people think is, in fact, the case.
Ben’s column this week has a great example of this – that (if you use a mobile) you’re better off having a mobile phone mast very close to your home.
It reminds me of the study done at MIT on the effectiveness of aluminium foil helmets, as worn by self-loathing paranoid crazy folk the world over. In short, they actually amplify radio frequencies in the parts of the electro-magnetic spectrum controlled by Governments.
