Review
"You should not study bluffing in science on a train or bus if laughing out loud in public embarrasses you."
-- "The Journal of the British Astronomical Association"
Synopsis
From the Bluffer's Guide to Science: Perhaps the ultimate sign that you have arrived in science is to have a unit of measurement named after you, although it can take 200 years for recognition to arrive, which lessens its value to the individual concerned. Examples include the coulomb, gauss, ohm, oersted, volt, newton and twaddel.
