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

“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…

Michio Kaku | Why do we think that?

Gerald G. Grosz | We just live in an open psychiatric ward

“We just live in an open psychiatric ward, the most serious cases sit on the government bench, the offspring stick on the streets or smear pictures.

Er gehörte dem House of Commons von 1950 bis 1960 an und erneut von 1963 bis 2000, also…

Doris Lessing | “You are in the process of being indoctrinated”

“Ideally, what should be said to every child, repeatedly, throughout his or her school life is something like this: “You are in the process of being indoctrinated. We have not yet evolved a system of education that is not a system of indoctrination. We are sorry, but it is the best we can do. What you are being taught here is an amalgam of current prejudice and the choices of this particular culture. The slightest look at history will show how impermanent these must be. You are being taught by…

W. Winckler | As an engineer of many years standing

“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…

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

“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…

Carl Sagan | The bamboozle has captured us

“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…

Gustave Le Bon | The masses have never thirsted after truth

Papst Pius XII | Big Bang – Creation – Science

“In fact, it seems that present-day science, with one sweeping step back across millions of centuries, has succeeded in bearing witness to that primordial ‘Fiat lux’ Let there be light uttered at the moment when, along with matter, there burst forth from nothing a sea of light and radiation, while the particles of the chemical elements split and formed into millions of galaxies … Hence, creation took place in time, therefore, there is a Creator, God exists. Although it is neither explicit nor complete, this is the reply we were…
