Freedom of Science

As professional bureaucrats physicists believe that science is some sacred rule that they must obey. They even go further and protect this sacred rule of their profession against “bad science.” In physics lingo bad science refers to the territory outside of legal physics. What is not legal physics is illegal therefore it is not science, […]

Physics is a loaded word with many meanings:

legal code
legal profession
rubric for theoretical academic topics formerly known as scholasticism
rubric for laboratory research of certain kind with technological applications
series of formal tests that must be passed to obtain a license to practice physics
legislating nature
professional occultism
great chain of the absurd

Physics is defined more than once therefore physics is […]

At some point I was thinking that legal action must be taken against unhuman organisms that enforce corruption of human science:

Physics hierarchy
Education
Big media
The state.

Unhuman is the enemy of human. What does unhuman do? Unhuman organisms exploit humans to further their own unhuman goals. The best example of this is the unhuman organisms who profit by […]

Where rubber meets the asphalt, that’s where physics is. The rest is branding.
The rubric ”General Theory of Relativity” is the make of the car. It is a label. It’s branding. It has nothing to do with the tire or the asphalt.
For a stationary car we only need surface, weight and constants. All are measurable quantities.

Unmeasurable labels […]

An organism such as the US Congress is a “system” no different than so-called “physical systems” investigated by physicists. There is an apparent difference if you look at individual components. Physics apparently investigates systems that cannot consciously change the system within the system. But the Congress too cannot change its own state.
Take a snapshot of […]

When research became professional1 the definition of science changed as well. Michael Faraday is a good example of an amateur natural philosopher.2 When Kea mentioned Faraday in a comment I wanted to read about him again.
Note how Wikipedia calls Faraday a physicist and a natural philosopher. In fact, the word physicist was introduced during Faraday’s […]

Why aren’t physicists scientists?
Short answer:
amateur –> scientist
professional –> anti-science
Academic physicists are professionals therefore they cannot be scientists. But physicists as professionals have the hereditary right to define science.

Physicists defined science as what physicists do.

The propaganda that physics is science is so well established that physicists use the two words interchangeably. Here for instance Sean Carroll, […]

Textbook physics, practical laboratory physics, academic theoretical physics are independent of each other.

What was impetus physics in pre-Newtonian scholasticism have become gravitational physics in Newtonian scholasticism. There are tens of thousands of leather bound De Motu written by European Doctors of Philosophy collecting dust in the famous libraries of Europe. These monuments to scholasticism are pulled out of their places of rest only to clean the dust […]
