Freedom of Science

In physics anything which is not a physical quantity is metaphysics. There is no exception to this rule. Example: “Newton’s laws” is not a physical quantity therefore “Newton’s laws” is metaphysics and does not belong to scientific physics. Laws, principles, axioms, definitions, conjectures and similar philosophical stuff are independent of scientific physics. If we define […]

We have principles here:
1. Nature is not supernatural.
2. Rational is not irrational.
I use these two scientific principles as the foundation of my research.
For instance, I use Principle 1 to eliminate the Newtonian occult force from physics:
Force is action-at-a-distance therefore force is occult. Occult is supernatural and, by Principle 1, nature is not supernatural, […]

Imagine a circle. Let the inside of the circle be the observable world. Cosmologists and physicists agree that there is no information coming from outside of this circle.

First principle of cosmology: We do not know what is outside of the observable world.

Therefore what is observed is local. Extrapolation from the local to the universal is […]

I am surprised that this blog has drawn the attention of bad science activists. These are individuals who are out there to protect science from its bad versions such as pseudo-science and anti-science. I think that’s a worthy goal.
My research is based on the principle that occult is supernatural and it is not part 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 […]

For scientists, force is occult therefore it does not exist; no other proof is needed.

What does not exist is the cause of nothing.

For physicists, force is legal, it doesn’t matter if it is occult.
  
To legalize the occult physicists even defined a unit for it and called the unit by the name of the founder […]

Can independent science come out of this police state called academia? Members of the academic hierarchy must obey the laws of the system otherwise they will be excommunicated. Freeing science from the grip of this police state is important.
Academic scholasticism has been luring brilliant human beings into its ranks with a promise of turning them into a hero in the Newtonian mythology.1 […]

Physicists like to contrast physics with religion. In current usage physics is a pun for science and physicists exploit this pun and use physics interchangeably with science. But the contrast is not between science or physics and religion but between science and legal. Here’s what I mean.
Is physics pseudo-science?
There is a lot of talk going […]

John Baez asks for help for a paper he is writing with Mike Stay. Within hours highly qualified people start posting good quality advice.
John Baez’ post proves once and for all that academic peer review has nothing to do with science and it is in fact an impediment to the free flow of information. Peer […]

1. Occult does not exist
I believe that occult does not exist. This is simply proved: Occult means supernatural. To deny the existence of the occult simply means that nature is not supernatural.
Principle:

Nature is not supernatural.

I use the denial of the occult as a principle to prove, for instance, that Newtonian force does not exist because […]
