Abstract
In this article we want to draw the reader’s attention to a
long-standing controversy regarding the nature of the cataclysmic variable SS Cygni. Much of the scientific world believes that
SS Cygni is a non-magnetic cataclysmic variable, completely ignoring much experimental evidence that assigns SS Cygni to the category of intermediate polars. This controversy has been discussed by us in many past articles which will be cited in the bibliography. The aim we set ourselves is to demonstrate, above all to young people, the path that must be taken to try to reach scientific truth.
