Fred Hoyle | Once a photograph of the Earth, taken from outside

in

“Once a photograph of the Earth, taken from outside, is available…a new idea as powerful as any in history will be let loose.“ Fred Hoyle (britische Astronom) “Wenn Menschen Bilder aus dem Weltraum von der Erde sehen, wird das Leben auf der Erde nie mehr so sein, wie es einmal war.“ Variante; “Sobald ein Foto der Erde, das von außen aufgenommen wurde, verfügbar ist, wird eine neue Idee, die so mächtig ist wie keine andere in der Geschichte, freigesetzt werden.” Nützliche und hilfreiche Links…

Lawrence Krauss | we are truly the center of the universe

in

“But when you look at CMB map (Cosmic Microwave Background), you also see that the structure that is observed, is in fact, in a weird way, correlated with the plane of the earth around the sun. Is this Copernicus coming back to haunt us? That’s crazy. We’re looking out at the whole universe. There’s no way there should be a correlation of structure with our motion of the earth around the sun – the plane of the earth around the sun – the ecliptic. That would say we are truly…

Walter van der Kamp | Since Galileo science has shed logical proofs in favour of plausibility

in

“Actually neither this Galileo, nor his mentor Copernicus, had a shred of truly tangible and unequivocal evidence for their heliocentric belief – and well do historians, astronomers, and philosophers of science know it! As I recently found it succinctly expressed in a research paper “Since Galileo science has shed logical proofs in favour of plausibility.” [Chris Biebricher: ‘Evolutionary Research,’ in Vincent Brummer, Interpreting the Universe as Creation. Kampen Kok Pharos, 1991, p.93.] Indeed, by this “scientific method” of adding plausible explanations to plausible explanations astronomy has arrived at the present…

Sir Fred Hoyle | So, does the earth spin?

in

So, does the earth spin? The late Sir Fred Hoyle, once accepted as one of the world’s leading astrophysicists, affirms the current position of science in regard to the long held claim that it does: “We can talk with precision of a body as spinning around relative to something or another, but there is no such thing as absolute spin: the Earth is not spinning to those of us who live on its surface and our point of view is as good as anyone else’s – but no better.” (F….

Paul Feyerabend | the establishment of the heliocentric worldview

in

“There are numerous sociological and historical case studies describing how opinions are established as “knowledge” in societies. For example, Paul Feyerabend explained in 1975 that the establishment of the heliocentric worldview was not based on new discoveries, but on a clever propaganda strategy of Galileo Galilei. According to Feyerabend, the representatives of the geocentric world view “did not recognize the propaganda value of predictions and dramatic shows, nor did they make use of the intellectual and social power of the newly created classes. They lost because they did not take…

Nikola Tesla | his mind had to free itself from the influence of delusive appearances

in

“The greatest triumphs of man were those in which his mind had to free itself from the influence of delusive appearances.[…] An unalterable rotational velocity thru all phases of planetary evolution is manifestly impossible. […] The truth is, the so-called “axial rotation” of the moon is a phenomenon deceptive alike to the eye and mind and devoid of physical meaning. […] The moon does rotate, not on its own, but about an axis passing thru the center of the earth, the true and only one.” Nikola Tesla “Die größten Triumphe…

John Hampden | We know this by patient and long continued investigations

in

“We know this by patient and long continued investigations – the surface of water is a LEVEL SURFACE. This is the key which is unlocking the minds of the people and letting in a flood of light upon the question of the shape of the earth. We know consequently that the surface of earth is a plane surface and that the earth itself can NOT be a globe.” John Hampden “Wir wissen dies durch geduldige und langanhaltende Untersuchungen – die Wasseroberfläche ist eine ebenmäßige OBERFLÄCHE. Dies ist der Schlüssel, der…

William Bathgate | The less of ” proximity” the less like a planet

in

“This is the testimony of all aeronauts. The earth looks like a huge basin, the edges thereof being on a level with the eye, and the bottom of it miles under one’s feet. How disappointing to ascend for the purpose of seeing a shining planet and to come down after having seen only a huge, dark terrestrial basin! The less of ” proximity” the less like a planet.” William Bathgate ( aviator balloonist) “Dies ist das Zeugnis aller Luftfahrer. Die Erde sieht aus wie ein riesiges Becken, dessen Ränder sich…

Nikolaus Kopernikus | So far as hypotheses are concerned

in

“So far as hypotheses are concerned, let no one expect anything certain from astronomy, which cannot furnish it, lest he accept as the truth ideas conceived for another purpose, and depart from this study a greater fool than when he entered it.” Nikolaus Kopernikus “Denn in der Tat möge, was die Hypothesen betrifft, niemand von der Astronomie irgend etwas Sicheres erwarten, da sie für sich nicht in der Lage ist, dies zu leisten, damit er nicht, wenn er für einen anderen Zweck zustande Gebrachtes als wahr auffaßt, törichter von dieser…

Arthur Eddington | The problem of the source of a star’s energy

in

“The problem of the source of a star’s energy will be considered, by a process of exhaustion we are driven to conclude that the only possible source of a star’s energy is subatomic yet it must be confessed that the only hypothesis shows little disposition to accommodate itself to the detailed requirements of observation, and a critic might count up a large number of fatal objections.” Arthur Eddington | (The Internal Constitution of the Stars (1926)) “Das Problem der Energiequelle eines Sterns wird angesprochen werden; durch einen Prozeß der Aufzehrung…

Albert Einstein | The struggle, so violent in the early days of science

in

“The struggle, so violent in the early days of science, between the views of Ptolemy and Copernicus would then be quite meaningless. Either CS [coordinate system] could be used with equal justification. The two sentences, “the Sun is at rest and the Earth moves,” or “the Sun moves and the Earth is at rest,” would simply mean two different conventions concerning two different CS.” Albert Einstein, The Evolution of Physics: From Early Concepts to Relativity and Quanta “Der in der Frühzeit der Wissenschaft so heftige Kampf zwischen den Ansichten von…

Prof. Steven Weinberg | The International Space Station is an orbital turkey

in

“The International Space Station is an orbital turkey….No important science has come out of it. I could almost say no science has come out of it. And I would go beyond that and say that the whole manned spaceflight program, which is so enormously expensive, has produced nothing of scientific value.” Prof. Steven Weinberg, Nobel Price for physics “Die Internationale Raumstation ist ein orbitaler Schrotthaufen….Sie hat keine wichtigen wissenschaftlichen Ergebnisse hervorgebracht. Ich könnte fast sagen, dass keine Wissenschaft aus ihr hervorgegangen ist. Und ich würde sogar noch weiter gehen und…

Alan Hirshfeld | the pendulum of belief had swung irreversibly to the Copernican side

in

“In Newton’s day, the Ptolemaic system and the Keplerian version of the Copernican system were taught side by side in the universities of the world. But the pendulum of belief had swung irreversibly to the Copernican side. In the minds of most scientists, the heliocentric universe had become fact…Yet there remained a crucial missing element in what was otherwise a complete and compelling picture of the universe: Not one shred of indisputable observational proof existed that the Earth moved through space.Here then was the holy grail of many an astronomer….

Neil Armstrong | We leave you much that is undone

in

“We leave you much that is undone. There are great ideas undiscovered, breakthroughs available to those who can remove one of truth’s protective layers. There are places to go beyond belief. Those challenges are yours — in many fields, not the least of which is space, because there lies human destiny” Neil Alden Armstrong | was an American test pilot and astronaut. He was commander of Apollo 11 “Wir hinterlassen vieles, was ungeschehen ist. Es gibt großartige unentdeckte Ideen und Durchbrüche für diejenigen, die eine der Schutzschichten der Wahrheit entfernen…

Lincoln Barnett | No physical experiment

in

“No physical experiment ever proved that the earth actually is in motion.” Lincoln Barnett | The Universe and Dr. Einstein, 2nd rev. edition, 1957, p. 73. “Kein physisches Experiment hat jemals bewiesen, dass die Erde tatsächlich in Bewegung ist.” Dieses Zitat stammt aus dem Buch “The Universe and Dr. Einstein” von Lincoln Barnett, das 1957 in zweiter überarbeiteter Auflage veröffentlicht wurde. Es ist ein interessantes Zitat, da es nahelegt, dass die Rotation und die Bewegung der Erde im Sonnensystem bzw. in der Milchstraße nicht durch direkte Experimente nachgewiesen wurden. In…

Albert Einstein | I feel uncertain whether I am in general on the right track

“You imagine that I look back on my life’s work with calm satisfaction. But from nearby it looks quite different. There is not a single concept of which I am convinced that it will stand firm, and I feel uncertain whether I am in general on the right track.” Albert Einstein “Sie können sich vorstellen, dass ich mit ruhiger Zufriedenheit auf mein Lebenswerk zurückblicke. Doch aus der Nähe sieht es ganz anders aus. Es gibt kein einziges Konzept, von dem ich überzeugt bin, dass es Bestand haben wird, und ich…

Fred Hoyle | Science today is locked into paradigms

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe | It may be boldly asked

in

“It may be boldly asked where can the man be found, possessing the extraordinary gifts of Newton, who could suffer himself to be deluded by such a hocus-pocus, if he had not in the first instance willfully deceived himself? Only those who know the strength of self-deception, and the extent to which it sometimes trenches on dishonesty, are in a condition to explain the conduct of Newton and of Newton’s school. To support his unnatural theory Newton heaps fiction upon fiction, seeking to dazzle where he cannot convince. In whatever…

Rupert Sheldrake | Scientism is where people turn science into a kind of religion

in

London Real: “Is that called scientism when you believe so much in the science you’ve been taught that you refuse to believe something else, and it becomes your religion in a way?” Rupert Sheldrake: “Yes, scientism is where people turn science into a kind of religion. It becomes a kind of dogmatic belief system. The irony is that a lot of people think that religion is dogmatic and science is free-thinking, but actually, in my experience, some of the most dogmatic people I know are people who’ve made science into…

Clark C. McClelland | History is created, manipulated and written by those who are predominantly on the Victorious side

in

“History is created, manipulated and written by those who are predominantly on the Victorious side of the nation which has supreme political, and especially military, dominance. Any ‘truth’ which has the slightest potential of weakening their total hold over the masses is not tolerated. Any truth which can impact their power is squelched or cunningly hidden by them, usually in a manufactured media release to the unsuspecting public, often in a jovial manner to render the information a laughing matter and display it as harmless.” Clark C. McClelland, former Apollo…

Brian Cox | There is absolutely no basis at all for thinking the world is flat

in

“There is absolutely no basis at all for thinking the world is flat. Nobody in human history, as far as I know, has thought the world was flat. The Greeks measured the radius of the Earth. I cannot conceive of a reason why anybody would think the world is flat. There are interesting bits of physics that tell you you live on a spinning planet and one of them is called the Coriolis force, which is the force that’s responsible for causing storm systems to rotate on the planet. So…

Isaac Newton | so great an absurdity that

in

“[…]that one body may act upon another at a distance through a vacuum, without the mediation of anything else, by and through which their action and force may be conveyed from one to another, is to me so great an absurdity that I believe no man who has in philosophical matters a competent faculty of thinking can ever fall into it.” Isaac Newton (In einem Brief an Dr. Bentley vom 25. Februar 1692) “[…] dass ein entfernter Körper auf einen anderen durch ein Vakuum ohne die Zwischenschaltung von etwas anderem…

Michio Kaku | the largest mismatch between theory and experiment

in

“Usually in science, if we’re off by a factor of 2 or a factor of 10, we call that horrible. We say, something’s wrong with the theory. We’re off by a factor of 10! However, in cosmology, we’re off by a factor of 10 to the 120th. That is one with 100 and 20 zeroes after it. This is the largest mismatch between theory and experiment in the history of science.” Michio Kaku “Wenn wir in der Wissenschaft um einen Faktor 2 oder 10 daneben liegen, nennen wir das normalerweise…
