You said I wanted to throw away science. I noted all you had to do was scroll through the forum topics to see this isn't the case.

I'll be more specific. Most of the threads you've started are someone's opinion. Furthermore, with your posts and such, there's a material science stinks undercurrent in most of the threads you start. I don't get that undercurrent impression nearly as strong from any other member than you. Take a step back an look at what you've posted as if it was not posted by you. Maybe you'll see what I mean.

Maybe you'll see what I mean. 1. There's a difference between opinion and argument. If you have something to refute the OP feel free to post it. 2. There is no "material science", there's only science. 3. On pushing a point of view...This pot calling the kettle black behavior is amusing. You were ready to dismiss Field Effects sight unseen b/c you thought I was referring to Psi phenomenon rather than an aspect of physics. ![]()

Quote:Developing new methodologies is harder than inventing new particles in the dozens, which is why they don’t like to hear my conclusions. Any change will reduce the paper output, and they don’t want this. It’s not institutional pressure that creates this resistance, it’s that scientists themselves don’t want to move their butts. ~~ Paul

There's a difference between opinion and factual opinion. You post threads generally consisting of opinion. 2. I'm referring to what some members don't like about science, It's reductive. 3. Yes, my point of view presents a grounded perspective. This > ![]() |
