SciencePunk: 'Another example of pathological science, but this time over a electromagnetic wave rather than a physical substance, is the “discovery�? of N-rays... Hidden in the requisite darkness of the experiment, Wood secretly removed an essential prism from the apparatus, and switched a large file for a piece of wood. Nevertheless, Blondlot and his team were able to ’see’ the spark. Wood reported his findings in the journal Nature, stating that N rays were a purely subjective phenomenon.'
