A "furious backlash" to the lawsuit resulted in the filing of formal complaints of false advertising against more than 500 individual chiropractors within one 24-hour period, with one national chiropractic organisation ordering its members to take down their websites, and Nature Medicine noting that the case had gathered wide support for Singh, as well as prompting calls for the reform of English libel laws
Simon Singh has a YouTube video on Fermat's last theorem that is a masterpiece of mathematical communication. As someone who is an engineer with a bit of math education (lots of calculus, linear algebra...etc), and who likes applying math, but does not intuitively get it at all to understand what mathematicians talk about, I found he communicated it to where I got the concepts and he fuzed it with the history in a splendid fashion. Great stuff.
