Let us suppose (a huge supposition, and almost certainly false) that Arindam's inertia violation turns out to be correct. Will he get credit for it? No, the discovery will be attributed in the textbooks to the scientist who described and discussed it in a serious journal. The best he can hope for is a footnote saying "Banerjee claimed some years earlier in popular science sources that inertia violation could occur, but he provided no verifiable evidence of the claim." I'm reminded of Marie Mikhailovna Manasseïn: few people today have heard of her, and of those few virtually none accept her claim to have discovered cell-free fermentation 15 or so years before Eduard Buchner. OK, her results were published in a serious journal (Ber. dt. Chem. Ges. (1872)), but her experiments were unverifiable, and were very badly designed. -- Athel -- French and British, living in Marseilles for 37 years; mainly in England until 1987.
