Explaining Singular Fortean Cases
Details
The next talk of the Edinburgh Fortean Society is Wednesday the 11th of October at 7.30pm:
Charles Paxton will be speaking on:
Explaining Singular Fortean Cases?
What is the best explanation for an anomalous experience or event? How can we distinguish between different hypotheses? Here I will explore the approaches and limits of science and ask if other methods are available (with your help!).
Warning: talk will be interactive!
Charles Paxton is a statistical ecologist at the University of St Andrews who also teaches scientific and critical thinking. He also has an interest in the science and history behind reports of historical sea and freshwater monsters (details can be found at www.sea-monster.info). He is not sure if he is a cryptozoologist or not.
