[ RadSafe ] Chris Busby physicists and chemists

[Franz Schönhofer]

Thank you  for reminding us on how even very great scientists can utter
ridiculous and completely wrong statements, which might refer to the future.


This should not really be the driving goal of past and nowadays science.

I believe it was Ernest Rutherford who said something to the effect:
"In science there is only physics.  Everything else is stamp
collecting."

Busby: "You cannot apply physics to human health."

Oh, I beg to differ ...

As a chemist, you should know well that health is physiology, physiology
is biochemistry, and biochemistry, at its basis, is physics. Which I
learned as an undergrad in the '70s.
