Can I put that on a CV? Haha

Many historical 'facts' are contested and debated by historians.

Things like the cause of the fall of the Mycenaean civilization, which, along with Crete, comprised the 1st Greek empire, fought a war with Troy, and literally disappeared from the face of the Earth.
Things like did the Roman Empire really fall, or did it just 'absorb' invaders and convert them to the Roman way of life and governance.
Things like the cause and mistakes in execution of the 1st World War. And its contribution to the beginning of the 2nd World War.
Things like Papal authority ( even over Emperors ) and the amassing of power and corruption by the Church, along with wars encouraged by the Church and the selling of 'Salvation' which led to splintering into differing 'sects'.
Things like was the Vietnam War winnable, and more importantly, was winning necessary or of benefit.
Things like the paradigm shift that brought about the Renaissance.

Some example threads in Politics or Other Sciences would be better than a list to demonstrate interest in the subject.

Point taken.

Very interesting topics. Looking forward to seeing them posted. I've got some other historical topics to suggest.

I'm glad to have you back, @MSC, after the pachi-dermatological treatment.

As am I! I've a few historical ones of myself to suggest in the future. 

Yes, the treatment worked wonders. Turned out all I had to do was try to bathe in a field of cacti and listen to Dostoyevsky insult me five or six times a sentence. Half-True story, everyone should try it!

Disclaimer: The cactus stunt suggested here is fictitious and should only be performed by the professional idiots out there in the world... To YouTube!

Absolutely not! You just read some Dostoyevsky and started Russian to conclusions.

alternative sciences

Another description of alternative science is “already debunked/discredited science”

Speculations is for non-mainstream science discussion, but that’s as far as we go. No WAGs.

That usually means "things other than science". Or the supernatural, to which science can't be applied, by definition.

thank you for both of your replies. Really I intended to mean something different but most presmably yes ,speculations should be close to the thing I look for in the current case.

You know what they call alternative medicine that actually works? They call it medicine.

I knew this as "a medical knowledge that runs/works but does not have; a suitable place or is not convenient to be existed amongts the current, medical literatures

furthermore, that is really available (I believe ,because I saw and observed!).

maybe we might discuss it in suitable place of forum. 

Is it possible to add a Atomic Energy category to the Physics section please.  Or perhaps advise where best to start a thread on a related topic (Fusion reactors).

Thanks

Modern and theoretical physics would probably be the best match.

New here and didn't bring enough shiny pebbles so I just ask if there are areas where  paleo-Earth and its critters can be discussed?

If it’s the critters, then there’s biology and its subforums (e.g. evolution) If it’s paleo earth there’s earth science, and if it’s some admixture you can always put it in other sciences.

Mods and experts can move topics if necessary and it’s not really a problem unless becomes a chronic issue (like posting everything in the Lounge or other clearly inappropriate section)
