论文摘要
1988年，与实验物理学家团队合作，凝结的物质理论家X在物理评论信中发表了一个至关重要的实验结果，涉及革命性的新理论。几个月后，该论文的结论被证明是不正确的。我讨论了各种因素 - 科学，工具，也是心理学的社会学因素 - 导致了这一失误。我相信这个故事阐明了科学发现，解释，伪造，确认和错误的过程。
In 1988, in cooperation with a team of experimental physicists, a Condensed Matter theorist, X, published in Physical Review Letters a crucial experimental result dealing with a revolutionary new theory. The conclusions of the paper were proved incorrect a few months later. I discuss the various factors -- scientific, instrumental, but also psychological, sociological ones -- which led to this blunder. I believe this story sheds some light on the process of scientific discovery, explanation, falsification, confirmation, and errors.
