As the old saying goes....."I've never been to bed with an ugly woman, but I've woken up to a few"; at last the answer is revealed. :laugh4:

The wonderful Ben Goldacre describes exactly how I feel about these ridiculous formulae.

What's most depressing is that the University of Reading has announced the closure of its Physics department whilst studies like this get the lion's share of research funding.

:shame:

Bullony.

I'm with Banquo here 100%.

How does this research benefit mankind?

If the benefits are not obvious, then I'm not sure what could possibly be said.
