I have an idea to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Wallace’s test by repeating it, in the same place, around February 2020 (less than 2 years’ time).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bedford_Level_experimentI would welcome participation from the FE Society. The rules would conform to Wallace’s, namely (i) both sides (RE/FE) would agree to the methodology, (ii) both would agree as to what observation would prove, or disprove either theory (iii) both sides would confirm the observations at first hand.
I would be prepared to fund a decent prize. We could get sponsorship from instrument makers, surveying firms, tourist boards etc. Could make a short documentary about it or post on YouTube.
It has little scientific merit, given the science has been well understood for centuries, but might help to convince the unconvinced in a world of fake news and explosion of conspiracy theories on the internet.
And we could have a beer. I appreciate 2020 some way off, but indications of interest would be appreciated.
I will be heading off to Norfolk later this year to see if the terrain still suitable for the test.
