In an attempt to procrastinate, I was reading the Science Blog. I looked at this article on an alternate use for string theory. Almost more interesting than the article, however, were the adds that Google pulled up:

  • What is Gravity?

    Find out how gravity really works Learn about Expansion Theory

    TheFinalTheory.com

  • New Theory of Everything

    Explains all new physics phenomena. Also incorporates the mind.

    NewPhysicsAndTheMind.net

  • One-on-One Tutoring

    Convenient Times and Locations Most Competitive Rates

    www.clubztutoring.com

  • Study the Universe at MIT

    5-day short course on relativity, gravity, and cosmology at MIT.

    • “Also incorporates the mind.” Just a small added effect!

    These ads are popped up by some keyword association on the ad server. Half of them are generally some crackpot website.

    So we get a situation where science is supported by running ads for pseudoscience. Very postmodern.

    Or maybe not. I seem to remember reading about Kepler supporting his astronomy work by doing horoscopes.
