Celebrating a landmark experiment
http://tinyurl.com/qxm8bl14
"What was arguably the most important scientific experiment of the 20th Century, happened in a slave plantation on a remote African island."
"In 1919, the Royal Astronomical Society (RAS) launched an expedition to observe a total solar eclipse from Principe, to prove or disprove Einstein's theory of general relativity."
So even Einstein's theories needed independent testing.
While we have not yet been asked to write a methodology to test a claim as groundbreaking as the theory of general relativity we are often asked to test some strange products and concepts, from one-way encryption devices, to crayons, international passports and cranes.
The best projects we work on start with the query ; "this may sound like a strange request but do you test .... ?"
