A case study in the process of scientific discovery, explanation, falsification, confirmation, and errors

A Case Study of a Scientific Blunder. History and Philosophical Teachings

In 1988, in cooperation with a team of experimental physicists, a condensed-matter theorist published in physical review letters a crucial experimental result dealing with a revolutionary new theory.

The conclusions of the paperwere proved incorrect a few months later.
