The Emperor of Scent is an Excellent Read on This Issue

"Whenever you have a field with limited funding, and a small number of people with big egos who have everything invested in one idea, you have the right chemistry for one theory to become so pervasive nothing else can flourish." Khachaturian added that the dominance of the amyloid hypothesis and the strangling of alternatives was "one of the most important issues in science today."

Over the last decade, Luca Turin has resurrected the vibrational theory of how we smell and presented overwhelming evidence of its validity. The recent book "Emperor of Scent" is a very well-written and fascinating summer beach read on Luca Turin's experiences. It points to the very same obstacle in science that people developing alternative treatments for AD are facing.

This clearly shows the frailty of human nature and how it so often hampers progress in science [and business]. Luca Turin has done work deserving of a Nobel, but unfortunately, won't be receiving an invitation to Stockholm.
