Extracts from the book:

Impossibility
If ever a truly eminent man of science over the age of 55 pronounces with great conviction that something is impossible, it is a safe bet that he will be proved wrong shortly.

Ad infinitum
Although it has not been conclusively proven, there are those who believe that quarks may not be points occupying no space, which would mean that they in turn were made up of even smaller particles. This would come as no surprise to the bluffer, who worships the dictum: "Big fleas have little fleas upon their backs to bite em, and little fleas have lesser fleas and so ad infinitum."

Critic Reviews

"You should not study bluffing in science on a train or bus if laughing out loud in public embarrasses you." (The Journal of the British Astronomical Association )
"Never again will you be silenced in the pub by the bore who knows all about Einstein. Instead you can enthral dinner party guests by dropping into casual conversation stories which reveal your deep scientific knowledge."(Evening Echo)
