When we think of physics scams, we think of perpetual motion machines, cure-all magnetic bracelets etc - originating from players outside of the scientific establishment. The establishment takes the role of beneficial vigilantes, and keeps the society safe from such outside players.
No one ever thinks to ask the far more important question: Are there physics scams being perpetrated from within the academic physics establishment?

What if this scenario were real? Do you know that this is not real?
