Abstract

What does "fringe" science really mean? Who are all these crazy people on the fringe? Why do they do it? Why should anyone pay attention to them? Do fringe scientists propose multiple universes? Something from nothing? Extra dimensions? Aliens? Do they all wear tin foil hats? What do they think about gluons, neutrinos and the Higgs boson? The answers might surprise you.
