Somewhere in our undergraduate research methods course we are introduced to the pyramid of evidence, a neat, hierarchical structure that tells us what to trust, what to treat with caution, and what to question. At the apex sit systematic reviews and meta-analyses. At the base, anecdot

The special theory of relativity is based on two postulates: the laws of physics are the same for all observers in uniform motion, and the spee
