It's too bad that this will be downvoted into invisibility just because you didn't have the discipline to leave off the last sentence.

The 'suppressed science' link is worth reading IMO, even though I think it's highly probable that the experimental results therein are bunk; it's quite conceivable that the scientific establishment draws its "crank research" line too early in some modern cases, given its history.
