The article says "The campus' asbestos is deemed to have killed 22 people." and this is referenced to an article in French. Can somebody who reads French better than I check up on this? I see two potential problems with it. (1) "Is deemed". Deemed by 'whom'? Is deemed the right word in this context, or is "claimed" or "alleged" better? If this deeming was a scientific determination, who made that determination? Can we figure that out and include it in the sentence? (2) when was this deemed to have happened? Since the reference on "killed 22 people" is from 2007 which is 11 years after the reference to his objection it seems conceivable that it was the asbestos removal effort that killed 22 people, in which case it's evidence that he might have been right to oppose that asbestos removal effort. In short, let's include *who* made the determination, *when* they made it, and whether it was the presence of asbestos or the removal of it that is said to have caused damage. -- Blogjack ( talk) 18:10, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
This article is biased to highlight his controversies over his highly recognised scientific work. In addition the controversies should be expained in more detail to ensure a more comprehensive view of them and avoid picking things out of context. Dentren | Talk 11:50, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
This section appears far too detailed for the importance of the "dispute". Also, the second para, while true, appears to be overkill, and is uncited.
I'm moving the para here for now. I think it should be edited down to a line or two, or just dropped as non-notable. Thoughts? -- Pete Tillman ( talk) 22:09, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
In 1999, the Canard enchaîné, and subsequently several other media, published Allègre's claim, initially stated during a radio interview, that, if one drops a pétanque ball and a tennis ball at the same time from a tower, they will reach the ground at the same time. Allègre claimed that there was a popular misconception to the contrary, and that schoolchildren should be made to understand that two objects always fall at the same speed. The Canard responded that this was true only in a vacuum, and not in all cases as Allègre had said. Allègre responded in turn, maintaining his initial statement. Georges Charpak, Nobel prize for Physics, intervened to explain that Allègre was wrong; Allègre maintained his statement yet again. [1] [2]
(Each falling ball experiences acceleration due to two main competing forces: gravity and air resistance. The acceleration due to gravity will be the same for both balls, regardless of mass [because F = ma = mg, so a = g], but the acceleration due to air resistance will be different because the balls have different sizes and surface textures. As a result, the balls' total accelerations will be different, as will their final speeds. If the balls fall in a vacuum, then there is no air resistance and their final speeds will be the same.)
