Resumo

When Uri Geller, the celebrity spoon-bender, announced in April that he would be sending his positive vibrations to the England football team at this month's World Cup, it was just the latest example of the growing interest in pseudo-science. But an attempt by the American Physical Society (APS) to draw a line between science and pseudo-science fell at the first hurdle in the same month, when a 210-word definition of science was rejected by the society's governing council.
