The Earth Is Round (p < .05)
After 4 decades of severe criticism, the ritual of null hypothesis significance testing—mechanical dichotomous decisions around a sacred .05 criterion—still persists. This article reviews the problems with this practice, including its near-universal misinterpretation ofp as the probability that Ho is false, the misinterpretation that its complement is the probability of successful replication, ...

متن کاملTurbulent ship wakes: further evidence that the Earth is round.
When viewed from the stern, a ship's turbulent wake appears as a narrow strip of bubble-whitened water converging toward the horizon. The wake does not reach a sharp point on the horizon but has a finite angular width, indicating that the Earth is not flat, but rather round. A simple analysis of the geometry of the observations shows that the radius of the Earth can be estimated using only simp...
متن کاملThe Round Earth Project-Collaborative VR for Conceptual Learning
he concept of a round Earth isn't a simple one for children to acquire. Their everyday experience reinforces their deeply held notion that the Earth is flat. Told by adults that the Earth is round, they often react by constructing a mental model of the Earth as a pancake, or a terrarium-like structure with people living on the flat dirt layer inside, or even a dual model with a spherical Earth ...
متن کاملTrapping of water waves above a round sill
The three-dimensional problem of wave trapping above a submerged round sill was first analysed by Longuet-Higgins on the basis of a linear shallow-water theory. The large responses predicted by the theory were, however, not well borne out by the experiments of Barnard, Pritchard & Provis, and this has motivated a more detailed study of the problem. A full linear theory for both inviscid and wea...
