Science & Technology News & Debates

Science and technology are and have always been the most powerful tools of social transformation. It is essential to understand fundamental scientific concepts, to grasp the most advanced technologies and their implications and especially to reject scientific fraud, which is often committed at the highest levels of the scientific establishment. "If it disagrees with experiment, it's wrong. In that simple statement is the key to science. It doesn't make any difference how beautiful your guess is, it doesn't matter how smart you are who made the guess, or what your name is... If it disagrees with experiment, it's wrong."-- Prof.Feynman PS: I absolutely LOVE https://sci-hub.se/ - it gives everyone access to every published scientific study without having to be a member of an institution or paying ruinous fees. This is how it should be! It prevents the creation of a scientific "class" that can retain information from the people. This is all the more necessary as the Great Reset attempts to enslave us with fake science about "vaccines", nutrition and the climate.

GROUP THINK

The dangerous nature of academic group-think and the failure to address the issues that threaten academic integrity lead to the kind of modern Lysenkoism we have been experiencing more and more over the last 15-20 years. Climate science has been totally corrupted, cf. the...See more

Gave it another try with a more precise wording of the description of "science"; I hope I covered the essentials. Feedback welcome!

The pH Scale of Common Chemicals

If you need a good reference for the explanation of the pH levels, this should help. It also makes it easier to remembering which way is "basic" vs "acidic": https://sciencenotes.org/the-ph-scale-of-common-chemicals/

Exponential technological progress illustrated by how fast memory capacities increased. AI has been progressing just as fast, but it's much harder to visualize. The court case by Elon Musk against Open AI reveals that he believes that they already achieved AGI - Artificial General Intelligence, meaning human level intelligence or better! Elon Musk sues OpenAI and Sam Altman over ‘betrayal’ of nonprofit AI mission https://techcrunch.com/2024/03/01/elon-musk-openai-sam-altman-court/

This is a short excerpt of an interview with Allan Savory, an ecologist (not an eco-fascist, an actual scientist interested in how the ecology works). He comments on how modern universities are incapable of teaching the meaning of "science". How students now think that the essence of science is "peer reviewed papers". They don't understand that the only thing that matters is OBSERVATION, actual, real-world EVIDENCE, not models.

Just another reminder of just how many products depend entirely on PETROL - here is a tiny selection:

The fact that the CO2-induced warming remains a conjecture is why we used to call it "not even wrong", among students in physics. As it is not a valid hypothesis, it cannot be confirmed or rejected. The way they use it, ANY climate event is interpreted as "supporting evidence". If everything confirms it, it's a garbage claim. NB: IMPROVED THE MEME, also fixed a typo!

This was one of those great interviews with Prof. Feynman in which he summed up the vision of a real scientist vs. all the phonies who just tried to make up some nonsense to look smart. String Theory - which should be called "String Conjecture", as absolutely nothing about it...See more

Always remind those who talk about "green" energy that petrol is far from being "just" a source of energy:
