N-rays

N-Strahlen {pl}phys.

• Neither individual researchers nor entire scientific communities are immune to this effect: see N-rays and polywater.
• Hooker developed Prosper-René Blondlot's N-ray theory. He held the view that all organisms emit N-rays and they are coloured differently depending on mental and physical factors of the individual.
• He followed some false leads such as research into the hypothetical N rays, which did not in fact exist, and attempts to explain anomalies in laboratory measurements of radio waves in ionized gases, which he thought might be due to positive ions exerting a quasi-elastic force on electrons.
• An example of semantic discord can be found in N-rays under pathological science.
• In 1904, Wood disproved the existence of so-called N-rays.

• Prosper-René Blondlot (3 July 1849 – 24 November 1930) was a French physicist, who in 1891 made the first measurement of the speed of radio waves, but is now mostly remembered for his "discovery" of N rays; a phenomenon that subsequently proved to be illusory.
