I just have to second that comment on the inescapability of the laws of physics. Combined with some back-of envelope calculations, they have shown me that several slick brochures were frauds. The air car was a prime example. After half an hour of checking figures, I advised an editor I knew to print a retraction. He scoffed, but kept an eye out for experimental evidence, and it showed up two years later.
