.: Ben Goldacre over at Bad Science hit off on an excellent idea I hope the rest of the internet will adopt: when posting a video of some pseudo- scientific douchebag, follow it with a inspiring clip of Richard Feynman.

.: You can see a Feynman Chaser in action at Ben’s site where it follows an egregiously misinformed homeopathic lecture. (How stupid do you have to be to think E = m*c² means “light is energy”? Watch the whole video if you dare. It’s full of howlers.) The chaser Ben chose was Feynman’s fantastic 1981 interview for Horizon, a wonderful way to spend the next 50 minutes.

.: I’d like to make my own modest contribution, starting with this boring, clumsy, soporific clip by Jonathan Wells. Watch it. I defy you to stay interested.

.: Still with me? Now see how exciting Feynman can make science, in one seventh the amount of time!
