Freedom of Science

The longer essay was written to show that the freedom movements spearheaded by the Internet

The Free Software movement
The movement to remove the middlemen
The fight for free flow of information
The right to free access to the source of information by everyone
Human unification by sharing and by forming communities
Blogging revolution

are movements against unhuman monopolies profiting from obstructing […]

The first legal document towards achieving the cause of the transfer of scientific authority to the people:

Please feel free to share your opinion.
Next in the agenda is to draft a document in order to form an internet jury.
Interestingly the above document accuses Doctors of Philosophy for being judge and jury.
Now I believe that an internet […]

“As most of you know, we pride ourselves here on being a top-down blog…. Our attitude is, we know what’s best for you, and we’re taking time from our busy schedules to provide it, and you’ll like it or learn to. At Cosmic Variance that’s just how we roll.”

All humans are human. The Org is unhuman. The Org feeds on humans and controls humans by keeping humanity divided. The way the virus is the enemy of humanity at the smaller scale, the Org is the enemy of humanity at the greater scale.
The Org is not visible. But it exists. The way virus use […]

Weinberg is quoted as saying:

The critics are right. We have no single prediction of string theory that is verified by observation. Even worse, we don’t know how to use string theory to make predictions. Even worse than that, we don’t really know what string theory is.

Weinberg is a Nobel Laureate. Nevertheless in the strict hierarchy […]

I will take you up on your wager and bet on Sklansky on the math test. It be interesting to see how Newton tackled questions involving complex numbers, for example, where many of the basic results were established decades after his death.

I agree. Newton being a mathematician of genius is a myth. […]

The statements “We physicists talk about crazy things all the time — extra dimensions, black holes, quark confinement, wavefunction collapse, conservation of momentum, the Earth moving around the Sun” allied to “they are hypotheses that we’re driven to by the constraints put upon us by the data” epitomise the problem so many […]

Arun at Not Even Wrong comments that “Maxwell’s treatise on electricity and magnetism is viewable on books.google.com “
It is viewable but is it readable? Hertz tried to decipher Maxwell’s book for years then he gave up saying it made no sense. Hertz then studied Helmholtz’ treatise based on practical observations devoid of theoretical physics elegance in order to make […]

Today science is no longer an independent entity. To make a change in science we need to deal with the media and charismatic religious Newtonian evangelists, such as Doctor Brian Greene.
There is clearly a strong collusion between Doctors of Philosophy, the media and the global publishing industry. (It is not clear that “the media” and “the global […]

Once a data-starved science, cosmology has burgeoned as ground and space-based astronomical observations supply a wealth of unprecedently precise cosmological measurements.
I think there is a serious typo in the conference description quoted above. They imply cosmology to be a science. I realize that there is a strong PR and marketing program here supported by global […]
