• cur | prev 2026 NotTheMudGeometer (talk | contribs) . . (3,585 bytes) (+40) . . (→ THE STOPWATCH: SO THE PAIN IS A WACH NOW. I CAN HOLD A WACH. BRING ME THE TEN AND A HALF AND I WILL HOLD THAT TO) (current)
• cur | prev 2026 a maintenance template (talk | contribs) . . (3,545 bytes) (+120) . . (tagged: relies excessively on references to primary sources. it does. the secondary account is one sentence citing a chapter citing a history that says something else, so the three papers were read instead)
• cur | prev 2024 T. Vogel (talk | contribs) . . (3,425 bytes) (−60) . . (removed. the unit is the dol, it stops at ten and a half, and somebody reached the top of it in a named hospital, which is a better fact than theirs)
• cur | prev 2024 a viral post (talk | contribs) . . (3,485 bytes) (+90) . . (the body can bear 45 del and childbirth is 57 del, the same as twenty bones breaking at once. no source given. the unit is also spelt wrong)
• cur | prev 1 April 2022 a citation chain (talk | contribs) . . (3,395 bytes) (−30) . . (→ whether it was discredited: walked to the end. the chapter rests on a history that does not say it, and that history's author says she did not say it either. the word stays for now, with a note)
• cur | prev 2019 a sentence in a journal (talk | contribs) . . (3,425 bytes) (+110) . . (the scale was discredited in 1957 by Beecher. citing a book chapter for it. have not read the chapter)
• cur | prev 2016 ObscuriBot (talk | contribs) . . (3,315 bytes) (+90) m . . (reverted; the article concedes the lamp in its second paragraph)
• cur | prev 2016 MudGeometer_1844 (talk | contribs) . . (3,225 bytes) (−90) . . (SHOW ME A DOL. PUT IT ON THE TABEL. YOU CANT BECAUS IT IS A LAMP)
• cur | prev 2011 a history of the instrument (talk | contribs) . . (3,315 bytes) (+420) . . (→ Beecher: added the rise and the fall properly. more than twenty teams by 1950, then Britain and Canada, then the money. nothing in here says the scale was discredited)
• cur | prev 1985 a bibliography (talk | contribs) . . (2,895 bytes) (+60) m . . (J. D. Hardy, 1904 to 1985. fifty-three years of thermal physiology from the day he was hired, and the unit is the part people have heard of)
• cur | prev 1967 H. Goodell (talk | contribs) . . (2,835 bytes) (+80) m . . (thirty years of the laboratory written up now that Wolff is gone. the headaches take most of it)
• cur | prev 1962 an obituary (talk | contribs) . . (2,755 bytes) (+50) m . . (H. G. Wolff, 1898 to 1962. he is remembered for the headache work. the unit is not mentioned)
• cur | prev 1957 S. S. Stevens (talk | contribs) . . (2,705 bytes) (+190) . . (→ twenty-one steps: the steps are not all the same size. sensation goes as a power of the stimulus and not as its logarithm, so the same twenty-one would give a different scale. this is the year the discrediting is dated to, and this is not it)
• cur | prev 1955 the funding (talk | contribs) . . (2,515 bytes) (−260) . . (gone to clinical trials. the thresholds would not replicate outside Cornell and the instrument could not see aspirin. no announcement was made and none was needed)
• cur | prev 1953 H. G. Wolff (talk | contribs) . . (2,775 bytes) (+40) m . . (→ Beecher: co-signed)
• cur | prev 1953 J. D. Hardy (talk | contribs) . . (2,735 bytes) (+160) . . (→ Beecher: restored with the concession. the two methods answer different questions and can both stand. this was true and did not help)
• cur | prev 1952 H. K. Beecher (talk | contribs) . . (2,575 bytes) (−180) . . (→ Beecher: a lamp on a comfortable volunteer is not an illness. cutting the section that treats it as one. this is an objection about method and is not about the burns)
• cur | prev 1950 twenty research teams (talk | contribs) . . (2,755 bytes) (+200) . . (→ what it was for: we have all bought one. it is the only number in the room)
• cur | prev 1949 a contraction interval (talk | contribs) . . (2,555 bytes) (+130) . . (→ the stopwatch: they can get the answer off me now and leave the lamp alone. ten and a half, less one and a half times me)
• cur | prev 22 July 1948 C. T. Javert (talk | contribs) . . (2,425 bytes) (+500) . . (→ the ceiling, reached: submitted the labour paper. thirteen patients, the back of the hand rather than the forehead, and the word pain not used in front of any of them)
• cur | prev 1948 the Office of Naval Research (talk | contribs) . . (1,925 bytes) (+45) m . . (→ the ceiling, reached: acknowledged in the footnote on the first page. we supported this in part)
• cur | prev May 1947 figure 2 (talk | contribs) . . (1,880 bytes) (+70) . . (→ the ceiling, reached: the top of the scale, reached once, by a patient who had asked to continue and was burned twice in the course of supplying it. i am the chart of it. the paper reporting me is twenty months away)
• cur | prev 1947 seventy medical students (talk | contribs) . . (1,810 bytes) (+150) . . (→ twenty-one steps: supplied the rest of the data by doing it to one another, under supervision)
• cur | prev 1947 the volar forearm (talk | contribs) . . (1,660 bytes) (+90) m . . (→ twenty-one steps: the top half of the scale has been moved to me from the forehead. the reason is given in the paper. i am more easily cared for when blistered)
• cur | prev 1947 a just-noticeable difference (talk | contribs) . . (1,570 bytes) (+40) m . . (eighty-seven years after Fechner ruled that we are all the same size, nobody has been back to check)
• cur | prev 1947 J. D. Hardy (talk | contribs) . . (1,530 bytes) (+420) . . (→ twenty-one steps: counted the just-noticeable differences from threshold to the point where more heat stops meaning more. twenty-one of them. two to the unit. the unit is a dol)
• cur | prev 1941 a 1,000-watt lamp (talk | contribs) . . (1,110 bytes) (+60) m . . (the page keeps saying one hundred watts. it is a thousand. i am the one doing this)
• cur | prev 1940 H. Goodell (talk | contribs) . . (1,050 bytes) (+120) m . . (→ the lamp: India ink, so that the skin takes all of it whatever colour the skin is. this is the only line on the page that considers who the subject is)
• cur | prev 1940 H. G. Wolff (talk | contribs) . . (930 bytes) (+340) . . (→ the lamp: turned the question round. we are putting the heat back in now, three seconds at a time, and asking when it begins to hurt)
• cur | prev 7 June 1932 J. D. Hardy (talk | contribs) . . (590 bytes) (+210) . . (→ the lamp: joined a pathology institute as a physicist, to measure the heat coming off people. adding the radiometer. no application to sensation is anticipated)
• cur | prev 1860 G. Fechner (talk | contribs) . . (380 bytes) (+380) . . (created the page. if a difference can just be noticed then it is a step, and every step is the same size. the postulate is not proved here and will be built on anyway)
