Weird Science

While most stories of anomalous stuff find themselves directly opposed to the principals of science, a few claim to demonstrate new scientific possibilities... which still look like anomalous stuff, really. Still, science became a force by investigating the unknown; so, occasionally, scientists might still -- accidentally or purposely -- cross the line between the paranormal and the known. Below are accounts where science has most definitely been accused of going weird!
