Some Sites on the Web with Speculative Ideas and Interesting Fringe Ideation - accompanied by Skeptics Sites



- Established science deals with areas for which we have definite knowledge and good evidence. Speculation deals with topics for which we have insufficient knowledge and information to make definite statements that are confirmable. Fringe ideation ... well, it sometimes presents interesting ideas. -

    - For you authors (and I know that some of you are serious thinkers) who may find one of your websites listed in undesirable proximity to what you may consider really far-out crank or junk science sites (or, alternatively, to sites that you consider too boringly conventional) and are offended, please forgive me, that was not the intention - we just want to get some ideas up here. Send an e-mail to set me straight if you are really irritated. -

    And here are some skeptics sites:

  • Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal
  • Skeptical Inquirer
