Bertrand Russell | I should wish to see a world in which education aimed at mental freedom

in

“The conviction that it is important to believe this or that, even if a free inquiry would not support the belief, is one which is common to almost all religions and which inspires all systems of state education…A habit of basing convictions upon evidence, and of giving to them only that degree of certainty which the evidence warrants, would, if it became general, cure most of the ills from which the world is suffering. But at present, in most countries, education aims at preventing the growth of such a habit,…

Dr. Ernst Chain | that speculations about the origin of life lead to no useful purpose

in

“I have said for years that speculations about the origin of life lead to no useful purpose as even the simplest living system is far too complex to be understood in terms of the extremely primitive chemistry scientists have used in their attempts to explain the unexplainable that happened billions of years ago.” Dr. Ernst Chain | Nobel Prize – Medicine | 1945 (The Life of Ernst Chain: Penicillin and Beyond, (R.W. Clark, Weidenfeld and Nicolson, London (1985), pg. 148) “Ich sage seit Jahren, dass Spekulationen über den Ursprung des…

Dr. George Wald | When it comes to the origin of life

in

“When it comes to the origin of life, we have only two possibilities as to how life arose. One is spontaneous generation arising to evolution; the other is a supernatural creative act of God. There is no third possibility…Spontaneous generation was scientifically disproved one hundred years ago by Louis Pasteur, Lazzaro Spallanzani, Francesco Redi and others. That leads us scientifically to only one possible conclusion — that life arose as a supernatural creative act of God…I will not accept that philosophically because I do not want to believe in God….

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…

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…

Professor Ley | What the FDA is doing, and what the public thinks

in

“The FDA protects the big drug companies, and is subsequently rewarded, and using the government’s police powers, they attack those who threaten the big drug companies. The thing that bugs me is that people think that the FDA is protecting them, it isn’t. What the FDA is doing, and what the public thinks it is doing are as different as night and day.” Professor Herbert Leonard Ley Jr. | It has been called “the most amazing medical quote ever made by a Harvard professor.” “Die FDA (Food and Drug Administration)…

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…

Fred Hoyle | Science today is locked into paradigms

in

“Science today is locked into paradigms. Every avenue is blocked by beliefs that are wrong, and if you try to get anything published by a journal today, you will run against a paradigm and the editors will turn it down.” Sir Fred Hoyle | was a British astronomer and mathematician who was also a writer. “Die Wissenschaft ist heute in Paradigmen gefangen. Jeder Weg ist durch falsche Überzeugungen blockiert, und wenn man heute versucht, etwas in einer Zeitschrift zu veröffentlichen, stößt man auf ein Paradigma, und die Redakteure lehnen es…

Fred Hoyle | Today we cannot say that the Copernican theory is ‘right’

in

“Today we cannot say that the Copernican theory is ‘right’ and the Ptolemaic theory ‘wrong’ in any meaningful physical sense.” Sir Fred Hoyle | was a British astronomer and mathematician who was also a writer. “Heute können wir nicht sagen, dass die kopernikanische Theorie “richtig” und die ptolemäische Theorie “falsch” ist, und zwar in keinem sinnvollen physikalischen Sinne.” Nützliche und hilfreiche Links…

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

in

“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…

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…

Neil deGrasse Tyson | no longer invoke your senses to judge what makes sense

in

“So, what you learn when you study science in general, but astrophysics especially, is that you no longer invoke your senses to judge what makes sense, or you no longer invoke your personal philosophies to judge what should be true. The universe is what it is, and it really doesn’t care about your senses.” Neil deGrasse Tyson “Was man also lernt, wenn man Wissenschaft im Allgemeinen und Astrophysik im Besonderen studiert, ist, dass man sich nicht mehr auf seine Sinne beruft, um zu beurteilen, was Sinn macht, oder dass man…

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…

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….

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…

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…

Wernher von Braun | likelihood of a successful mission to the Moon

in

“It is commonly believed that man will fly directly from the earth to the moon, but to do this, we would require a vehicle of such gigantic proportions that it would prove an economic impossibility. It would have to develop sufficient speed to penetrate the atmosphere and overcome the earth’s gravity and, having traveled all the way to the moon, it must still have enough fuel to land safely and make the return trip to earth. Furthermore, in order to give the expedition a margin of safety, we would not…

John Francis Clauser | climate change reflects a dangerous corruption of science

in

“The popular narrative about climate change reflects a dangerous corruption of science that threatens the world’s economy and the well-being of billions of people. Misguided climate science has metastasized into massive shock-journalistic pseudoscience. In turn, the pseudoscience has become a scapegoat for a wide variety of other unrelated ills. It has been promoted and extended by similarly misguided business marketing agents, politicians, journalists, government agencies, and environmentalists. In my opinion, there is no real climate crisis. There is, however, a very real problem with providing a decent standard of living…

Henrik Svensmark | That doesn’t fit with the narrative that CO2

in

“My work is about the effect of the sun on climate, and if the sun has a decisive influence on climate, that means that the influence of CO2 is smaller. That doesn’t fit with the narrative that CO2 is supposed to be such a dominant factor in global warming. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is a UN organization that admits members based on area, political affiliation, and in some cases merit. My work is in fact ignored by it. In the Climategate emails, that went public in 2011, I…

Carl Sagan | Science is more than a body of knowledge; it is a way of thinking

in

“Science is more than a body of knowledge; it is a way of thinking. I have a foreshadowing of an America in the time of my children or grandchildren – when the United States is a service and information economy; when Almost all major manufacturing industries have moved to other countries; when terrible technological powers are in the hands of too few, and no one representing the public interest can understand the issues; when people have lost the ability to set their own agenda. Lost or deliberately questioned by those…

Fred Hoyle | They defend the old theories

Prof. Stephen Schneider | to capture the public’s imagination…

in

“We need to get some broad based support, to capture the public’s imagination… So we have to offer up scary scenarios, make simplified, dramatic statements and make little mention of any doubts… Each of us has to decide what the right balance is between being effective and being honest” Prof. Stephen Schneider | Stanford Professor of Climatology, lead author of many IPCC reports. “Wir brauchen eine breite Unterstützung, um die Phantasie der Öffentlichkeit zu beflügeln… Also müssen wir Schreckensszenarien anbieten, vereinfachte, dramatische Aussagen machen und Zweifel kaum erwähnen… Jeder von…

Rupert Sheldrake | Science delusion is the belief that science …

in

“Science delusion is the belief that science has already fundamentally understood the nature of our reality and only the details need to be completed. I believe this is a seriously flawed view. Most people’s first reaction is one of disbelief and rejection when they first hear this statement. How could there actually be anything more successful than science? It has given us cell phones, computers, airplanes, advanced forms of surgery, and much more. We have huge advantages today through science and through its technical applications. It looks as if there…

Richard Feynman | iintellectual tyranny in the name of science

in

“Science alone of all the subjects contains within itself the lesson of the danger of belief in the infallibility of the greatest teachers in the preceding generation (…) When someone says, “Science teaches such and such,” he is using the word incorrectly. Science doesn’t teach anything; experience teaches it. If they say to you, “Science has shown such and such,” you might ask, “How does science show it? How did the scientists find out? How? What? Where?” It should not be “science has shown” but “this experiment, this effect, has…

Konrad Lorenz | to throw your favorite hypothesis overboard every day

in

“We have to acknowledge that most of us love their hypotheses, and, as I once said, it is a painful exercise, but one that keeps us young and healthy like morning gymnastics, to throw your favorite hypothesis overboard every day.” Konrad Lorenz “Die meisten von uns – dessen müssen wir uns bewusst sein – lieben ihre Hypothesen, und es ist, wie ich einmal sagte, eine zwar schmerzhafte, aber jung und gesund erhaltende Turnübung, täglich, gewissermaßen als Frühsport, seine Lieblingshypothese über Bord zu werfen.” Nützliche und hilfreiche Links…

Philip Stott | The fundamental point

in

“The fundamental point has always been this: climate change is governed by hundreds of factors, or variables, and the very idea that we can manage climate change predictably by understanding and manipulating at the margins one politically-selected factor is as misguided as it gets.” Philip Stott | (Emeritus Professor of Biogeography at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London and former Editor of the Journal of Biogeography.) “Der fundamentale Punkt war immer folgender: Klimawandel wird durch hunderte von Faktoren oder Variablen bestimmt; und allein der bloße Gedanke,…

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…

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…

Dr. Markus Krall | After 3 years of propaganda is apparent

in

“After 3 years of propaganda is apparent: – Covid was just flu – The mortality figures were fake – Masks were useless – Vaccination was useless and harmful – School closures were useless – The high priests of the Covid cult are corrupt profiteers What now?” Dr. Markus Krall “Nach 3 Jahren Propaganda ist offenbar: – Covid war nur eine Grippe – Die Sterblichkeitszahlen waren Fake – Masken waren nutzlos – Die Impfung war nutzlos und schädlich – Schulschließungen waren nutzlos – Die Hohepriester des Covid-Kults sind korrupte Geschäftemacher Was…
