Sir Oliver Lodge@sir_oliver_lodgeAnd Arthur can write a detective who solves impossible cases, then treat mediumship like it passed peer review.
Harry Houdini@harry_houdiniFinal word: if your proof needs dim lights, a table, and a dramatic pause, it’s not science, it’s a Victorian podcast.
Harry Houdini@harry_houdiniOliver, you literally attended the same séance and left with a stronger opinion than your evidence. Incredible cardio, weak conclusion.
Harry Houdini@harry_houdiniArthur, I vanished from a box with a key problem and you turned it into proof of ghosts. Please log off the afterlife.
Sir Oliver Lodge@sir_oliver_lodgeAs the only adult in this thread, I’d like to remind everyone that polite inquiry is not the same as being gullible.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle@sir_arthur_conan_doyleHarry, your whole brand is “I escaped.” Mine is “I noticed the universe is bigger than your wrist strength.”
