Revision history of "The Allison effect"

This is a list of past revisions of The Allison effect. Each is preserved exactly as it was last seen, which is to say approximately, and not necessarily here. Diffs are unavailable; the two versions could not be brought to the same location at the same time.

(→ pathological science: an effect at the edge of detection, reported to great precision, explained afresh each time it fails a test, believed by a party that grows and then goes to nothing. no dishonesty anywhere in it. see also the n-rays)
• cur | prev 1940 Berkeley (talk | contribs) . . (1,900 bytes) (+300) . . (→ and 85, from bismuth under alpha particles. astatine. made rather than found, which is the only way it was going to be got)
• cur | prev 1939 M. Perey (talk | contribs) . . (1,600 bytes) (+320) . . (→ element 87 is here, in the decay of actinium. it is francium. it is one of the rarest things on earth and it was never going to be in anybody's beaker)
• cur | prev 1930s another laboratory (talk | contribs) . . (1,280 bytes) (−180) . . (→ we have built the apparatus to the description and we do not see the minimum. we are prepared to be told we are doing it wrong and would like to be told how)
• cur | prev 1930 F. Allison (talk | contribs) . . (1,460 bytes) (+260) . . (→ and 85. alabamine, for the state I work in. two of the four still missing, from one bench, and the other two are 43 and 61)
• cur | prev 1930 F. Allison (talk | contribs) . . (1,200 bytes) (+300) . . (→ element 87. I am calling it virginium, for the state I was born in. the gap is real and everybody knows it is real)
• cur | prev 1930 F. Allison (talk | contribs) . . (900 bytes) (+480) . . (→ the rotation does not appear the instant the field is on. the delay differs by substance, and reading the delay tells you what is in the cell. it will read a dilution that nothing else on the bench can touch)
• cur | prev 1845 M. Faraday (talk | contribs) . . (420 bytes) (+420) . . (created page; a magnetic field along the path of light turns the plane of polarisation. this is a real effect and everything built on it hereafter is my responsibility only as far as the effect goes)
