Hard science and mathematics have never been my strong points. Ironic then, that at one time I had a (very)minor celebrity status based on a dozen or so page equation that I had written. In essence,it showed how salt can be used for temporal rearrangements,telepathy. It also was used to describe a scientific basis for ghosts. A few years ago I gave parts of it to a friend who is a mathematician in Toronto and he could not really see any flaws in it. But can I find said paper? Of course not.

There are two possible outcomes: if the result confirms the hypothesis, then you've made a measurement. If the result is contrary to the hypothesis, then you've made a discovery.

For some reason I have been thinking about the different types of mystery stories this morning..such as

The Victorian..of ccourse there was Sherlock Holmes..founder of modern detective stories and of slash. And Miss Marple,who came later but is more or less a sister sleuth. Yes Sherlock used evidence..but mostly it was think think think EUREKA.

Noire..Sam Spade,Marlowe..the hat slouched over the eye,bottle of whiskey in the drawer and 38 in the pocket bumbler after the truth. Often more shot at then shooting and with THE DAME.

The Forensic Fondlers. This is,of course, the latest,even though there are links back to Sherlock. The evidence never lies says Mr Grissom. Interestingly, there was a story some time ago that Attorneys were striking people as jurors if they followed these shows regularly. People do not seem to realise that the scripts are fiction as much as the other categories.

Are there other categories?

I do not always agree with the AFI polls..but this seems close.
