Neville T. Jones | the world is supposedly rotating at 1,039 mph at the equator

in

“Whilst we sit drinking our cup of tea or coffee the world is supposedly rotating at 1,039 mph at the equator, whizzing around the Sun at 66,500 mph, hurtling towards Lyra at 20,000 mph, revolving around the centre of the ‘Milky Way’ at 500,000 mph and merrily moving at God knows what velocity as a consequence of the ‘Big Bong.’ And not even a hint of a ripple on the surface of our tea, yet tap the table lightly with your finger and … !” Neville T. Jones “Während wir…

Dr. Erik Verlinde | For me gravity doesn’t exist

in

“We’ve known for a long time gravity doesn’t exist, it’s time to yell it.” Dr. Erik Verlinde (“For me gravity doesn’t exist,” said Dr. Verlinde, who was recently in the United States to explain himself. Not that he can’t fall down, but Dr. Verlinde is among a number of physicists who say that science has been looking at gravity the wrong way and that there is something more basic, from which gravity “emerges,” the way stock markets emerge from the collective behavior of individual investors or that elasticity emerges from…

George Bernard Shaw | We are more gullible and superstitious today

in

“We are more gullible and superstitious today than we were in the Middle Ages, and an example of modern credulity is the widespread belief that the Earth is round. The average man can advance not a single reason for thinking that the Earth is round. He merely swallows this theory because there is something about it that appeals to the twentieth century mentality.” George Bernard Shaw “Heutzutage sind wir viel leichtgläubiger und abergläubischer, als wir es im Mittelalter waren und ein Beispiel für unsere Leichtgläubigkeit ist der weitverbreitete Glaube, dass…

George Bernard Shaw | In the Middle Ages people believed that the earth was flat

in

“In the Middle Ages people believed that the earth was flat, for which they had at least the evidence of their senses: we believe it to be round, not because as many as one per cent of us could give the physical reasons for so quaint a belief, but because modern science has convinced us that nothing that is obvious is true, and that everything that is magical, improbable, extraordinary, gigantic, microscopic, heartless, or outrageous is scientific.” George Bernard Shaw “Im Mittelalter glaubten die Leute die Erde sein flach, wofür…

James Dresden | A truth’s initial commotion

in ,

“A truth’s initial commotion is directly proportional to how deeply the lie was believed. It wasn’t the world being round that agitated people, but that the world wasn’t flat. When a well-packaged web of lies has been sold gradually to the masses over generations, the truth will seem utterly preposterous and its speaker a raving lunatic.” James Dresden (No one seems to know the source of the quote. Dresden James is thought to be Donald James Wheal who was a British television writer, novelist and non-fiction writer.) “Die Anfangserschütterung einer…

Lawrence Krauss | asking the right experimental questions

in

“We do not know whether we are on the right track and whether we are even asking the right experimental questions. But we have no choice but to continue with all our might.” Lawrence Maxwell Krauss (ist ein US-amerikanischer theoretischer Physiker, der sich insbesondere mit Kosmologie beschäftigt. Er ist Autor mehrerer Bestseller, darunter The Physics of Star Trek. “Wir wissen nicht, ob wir auf dem richtigen Weg sind und ob wir überhaupt die richtigen experimentellen Fragen stellen. Doch es bleibt uns nichts anderes übrig, als mit aller Kraft weiterzumachen.” Nützliche…

Elon Musk | you can tell it’s real because it looks so fake

in

“I think it looks so ridiculous and impossible, you can tell it’s real because it looks so fake, honestly. We’d have way better CGI if it was fake. The colors all look kind of weird in space. There’s no atmospheric occlusion; everything’s too crisp. It’s just literally a normal car in space — I kind of like the absurdity of that, it’s kind of silly and fun, but I think that silly, fun things are important … I think the imagery of it is something that’s going to get people…

Don Pettit | The only limit to human future is in our own imagination

in

“I’d go to the moon in a Nanosecond, but the Problem is that we no longer have that technology to do that anymore, we used to have it, but we destroyed it and it’s a painful process to build it back again, but going to Mars should be one of the next series of steps that humans do. The first step should be going back to the Moon for a number of technical reasons and exploration reasons. And then after that Mars, maybe high orbit in Venus atmosphere maybe going…

Michio Kaku | in my field, uses the so-called Scientific Method

in

“In Science, we always say that you make observations you have a theory you make more observations and it’s a very very tedious process… WRONG! Nobody that I know of in my field, uses the so-called Scientific Method. In our field, it’s by the seat of your pants, it’s leaps of logic, it’s GUESSWORK.” Dr. Michio Kaku “In der Wissenschaft wird immer gesagt dass man Beobachtungen macht, man hat eine Theorie man macht Beobachtungen und es ist ein sehr sehr langweiliger Prozess. Falsch! Niemand den ich kenne in meiner Umfeld…

Max Planck | Anybody who has been seriously engaged in scientific work of any kind

in

“Anybody who has been seriously engaged in scientific work of any kind realizes that over the entrance to the gates of the temple of science are written the words: Ye must have faith. It is a quality which the scientist cannot dispense with.” Max Planck | ( Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Planck ) was a German theoretical physicist whose discovery of energy quanta won him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1918 “Jeder, der sich ernsthaft mit wissenschaftlicher Arbeit irgendeiner Art beschäftigt hat, weiß, dass über dem Eingangstor des Tempels…

Jesuit Pater Giuseppe Tanzella Nitti | information coming from another world

in

“Very soon we will not have to deny our Christian faith…but there is information coming from another world, and once it is confirmed it is going to require a re-reading of the Gospel as we know it.” Jesuit Father Giuseppe Tanzella Nitti | Astronomer of the Vatican and leading Jesuit theologian and Professor of Principles of Theology at the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross in Rome (former Prelate of Opus Dei) “Schon sehr bald werden wir zwar nicht unseren christlichen Glauben leugnen müssen, jedoch gibt es Informationen von einer…

Carl Sagan | The bamboozle has captured us

in

“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.” Carl Sagan “Eine der traurigsten Lehren der Geschichte ist diese: Wenn wir lange genug beschwindelt wurden, neigen wir dazu, jeden Beweis des Schwindels abzulehnen. Wir…

David Wardlaw Scott | Children are taught in their geography books, when too young to apprehend aright the meaning of such things

in

“Children are taught in their geography books, when too young to apprehend aright the meaning of such things, that the world is a great globe revolving around the Sun, and the story is repeated continuously, year by year, till they reach maturity, at which time they generally become so absorbed in other matters as to be indifferent as to whether the teaching be true or not, and, as they hear of nobody contradicting it, they presume that it must be the correct thing, if not to believe at least to…

W. Winckler | As an engineer of many years standing

in

“As an engineer of many years standing, I saw that this absurd allowance is only permitted in school books. No engineer would dream of allowing anything of the kind. I have projected many miles of railways and many more of canals and the allowance has not even been thought of, much less allowed for. This allowance for curvature means this – that it is 8” for the first mile of a canal, and increasing at the ratio by the square of the distance in miles; thus a small navigable canal…

Dara O’Briain | Science knows it doesn’t know everything

in

“Science knows it doesn’t know everything; otherwise, it’d stop. But just because science doesn’t know everything doesn’t mean you can fill in the gaps with whatever fairy tale most appeals to you.” Dara O’Briain “Die Wissenschaft weiß, dass sie nicht alles weiß, sonst würde sie aufhören. Aber nur weil die Wissenschaft nicht alles weiß, heißt das nicht, dass man die Lücken mit dem Märchen füllen kann, das einem am meisten zusagt.” Nützliche und hilfreiche Links…

George Francis Rayner Ellis | People need to be aware

in

“People need to be aware that there is a range of models that could explain the observations….For instance, I can construct you a spherically symmetrical universe with Earth at its center, and you cannot disprove it based on observations….You can only exclude it on philosophical grounds. In my view there is absolutely nothing wrong in that. What I want to bring into the open is the fact that we are using philosophical criteria in choosing our models. A lot of cosmology tries to hide that.” George Francis Rayner Ellis |…

Michio Kaku | Why do we think that?

in

“Why do we think that? Because we have a theory called string theory, it is fantastic it is incredible. It has astounded the world of mathematics, and physics and now you can’t move in the physics world without bumping into somebody who wants to talk about the 10th Dimension the 11th Dimension the Multiverse hyperspace time travel. All the things that were once considered science fiction are now centerpiece in our understanding of the nature of everything.” Dr. Michio Kaku | is one of the best known physicists in the…

Salviati | there is no limit to my astonishment when I reflect that

in

“You wonder that there are so few followers of the Pythagorean opinion [that the earth moves] while I am astonished that there have been any up to this day who have embraced and followed it. Nor can I ever sufficiently admire the outstanding acumen of those who have taken hold of this opinion and accepted it as true: they have, through sheer force of intellect, done such violence to their own senses as to prefer what reason told them over that which sensible experience plainly showed them to be the…

Gregory Lessing Garrett | Big Bang Mysticism

in

“Modern Astrophysics, Quantum Physics, and Astronomy are, in fact, simply repackaged occultism, and they have been passed off as modern science for many decades. This is known as Scientism. The entire Big Bang Myth is simply a Satanic lie which was necessaty in order to transmit other occult lies, such as The Myth of Gravity, Evolution, Heliocentrism, and eventually, give credence and traction to the idea of alien life. The primary occult ideology at the basis of all this is the idea of Cosmic Pantheism. The Big Bang Myth reinforces…
