The Loaded Balance

This article is copied from Citizen Science Jury.
In order to ply their trade Doctors of Philosophy sanctified something they call “equation.” What is this sacred equation Doctors use to discover the secrets of the universe?
An equation in scholasticism is made of an equality sign and a set of symbols on either side of it. It […]

From Academics For Academic Freedom:
We, the undersigned, believe the following two principles to be the foundation of academic freedom:
1. that academics … have unrestricted liberty to question and test received wisdom and to put forward controversial and unpopular opinions, whether or not these are deemed offensive
2. that academic institutions have no right to curb the […]

Academic physics is the only professional industry which is not regulated. As the result of this fact, the unregulated physicists produce absurd theories and define them as science.
Physicists themselves are aware that regulation is a requirement of science and they define self-regulatory rules and then abuse them. In academic physics

Closed information realms
I watched Natalie Jeremijenko’s video on Seed.  This is a great video. I was so impressed with her projects and ideas that I looked for more information and found another video in the same place.  This was great too. Some concepts that she mentions were more eloquent versions of what I have been […]

Why are Doctors of Philosophy so offended when they are called Doctors of Philosophy? […]

Human Potential

Nicole in Asymptotia makes a good point. How to increase the scientific output of humanity?
Let
Scientific Output = S = Wn
Assume that n =1 gives today’s output:
Today’s Output = S = W
If n = 2
then
S = 2W
If n=2 we would have doubled the scientific output of humanity.
Can this result be achieved within the present system? Can […]

Doctors make their living by making definitions. Definitions have their own lifetime. Once a consensus is reached and a definition becomes a law it dies and ceases to change.
Many people have analyzed the classic problem of the rate of change of definitions. The origin of major socio-economic problems have been tied to out of synch […]

Freedom of science is the most fundamental human right.
Science is the activity which defines humans as human.
Since the beginning of history scientific authority resided with deities not with humans. This transfer of scientific authority from a deity to humanity is an urgent human rights issue.
What is the best method to achieve the goal of transferring […]
