Love it. Embrace it. Scoff at it. Scratch your head and wonder. But the people who ran Princeton's PEAR (Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research) project want to place all their equipment, etc. into a museum for future generations to gaze at, debate over, or to continue analyzing to the Nth degree.
Funniest thing about their research, in my eyes, is that techniques and mathematical criteria that had been perfectly acceptable to the nuclear physics community for decades suddenly became unacceptable when the PEAR researchers showed deviations from theory after extensive statistical filtering. It seemed that as soon as data from PEAR experiments crossed an age-old threshold of acceptability, people in the mainstream physics community pushed the threshold a little farther out.
