1 00:00:03,300 --> 00:00:09,350 [Music] 2 00:00:17,740 --> 00:00:14,629 I I plagiarized this title from the 3 00:00:21,830 --> 00:00:17,750 terrific survey the Jaguars own 4 00:00:26,350 --> 00:00:21,840 published a few years ago entitled from 5 00:00:30,519 --> 00:00:26,360 dawn to decadence 1500 to the present 6 00:00:33,889 --> 00:00:30,529 500 years of Western cultural life 7 00:00:37,970 --> 00:00:33,899 modern science of course is an integral 8 00:00:40,100 --> 00:00:37,980 part of Western cultural life and I 9 00:00:45,170 --> 00:00:40,110 suggest that it has gone through the 10 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:45,180 same up and down of from dawn to 11 00:00:54,500 --> 00:00:50,810 decadence here's how science has changed 12 00:00:58,880 --> 00:00:54,510 it started as an idealistic or at least 13 00:01:01,610 --> 00:00:58,890 as a disinterested vocation people 14 00:01:05,740 --> 00:01:01,620 simply curious about how the world works 15 00:01:09,260 --> 00:01:05,750 and trying to find out about that to a 16 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:09,270 self-interested profession and we should 17 00:01:15,469 --> 00:01:11,969 be aware we should remember what George 18 00:01:22,270 --> 00:01:15,479 Bernard Shaw said that all professions 19 00:01:29,870 --> 00:01:25,130 there's no question that there have been 20 00:01:33,490 --> 00:01:29,880 tremendous technological advances but 21 00:01:37,670 --> 00:01:33,500 there has also been a proliferation of 22 00:01:43,310 --> 00:01:37,680 absolutely mediocre so-called research 23 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:43,320 and one of the discussions of that was 24 00:01:49,910 --> 00:01:45,570 actually written a dozen years ago by 25 00:01:52,999 --> 00:01:49,920 Jane Klein a an immunologist published 26 00:01:56,300 --> 00:01:53,009 in a mainstream journal an article 27 00:01:59,450 --> 00:01:56,310 entitled the hegemony of mediocrity in 28 00:02:02,630 --> 00:01:59,460 contemporary sciences particularly in 29 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:02,640 immunology and that paper is worth 30 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:06,210 reading because it is not an abstract 31 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:09,649 generalized rant he gives specific 32 00:02:16,610 --> 00:02:13,890 examples and points out how much of the 33 00:02:19,640 --> 00:02:16,620 published so-called research really 34 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:19,650 added nothing to the store of knowledge 35 00:02:27,260 --> 00:02:22,890 and the chief criterion was 36 00:02:30,820 --> 00:02:27,270 that people needed to pad their Vita not 37 00:02:34,420 --> 00:02:30,830 that there were things that needed to be 38 00:02:39,170 --> 00:02:34,430 communicated there's been a corruption 39 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:39,180 by conflicts of interest it may not be 40 00:02:44,420 --> 00:02:41,130 true that the love of money is the root 41 00:02:50,870 --> 00:02:44,430 of all evil but it is the root of quite 42 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:50,880 a lot of evil over all I suggest I 43 00:02:58,760 --> 00:02:55,130 assert that science nowadays is 44 00:03:01,930 --> 00:02:58,770 bureaucratic centralized and there is 45 00:03:06,500 --> 00:03:01,940 politicized control of funding and 46 00:03:09,820 --> 00:03:06,510 publication and that is produced and had 47 00:03:13,970 --> 00:03:09,830 Germany of mainstream dogma and the 48 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:13,980 suppression of minority views now I 49 00:03:23,479 --> 00:03:16,050 can't give chapter and verse to all 50 00:03:25,699 --> 00:03:23,489 those assertions in the space of of this 51 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:25,709 talks I'm going to concentrate on just 52 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:29,130 two points to be made and the first one 53 00:03:36,110 --> 00:03:32,850 is that since about the middle of the 54 00:03:38,930 --> 00:03:36,120 20th century there has been a change in 55 00:03:41,780 --> 00:03:38,940 the way research is done that is not a 56 00:03:45,170 --> 00:03:41,790 matter of degree but a matter of kind 57 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:45,180 there's been a structural change in how 58 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:49,170 research is carried on and 21st century 59 00:03:56,780 --> 00:03:52,890 science is a different thing than early 60 00:04:01,130 --> 00:03:56,790 20th century science the second point is 61 00:04:04,990 --> 00:04:01,140 that the proper and useful conservatism 62 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:05,000 of science of skepticism toward 63 00:04:11,509 --> 00:04:07,290 revolutionary claims which has always 64 00:04:16,039 --> 00:04:11,519 existed it's become outright suppression 65 00:04:19,039 --> 00:04:16,049 of any heterodox views exclusion from 66 00:04:23,060 --> 00:04:19,049 funding and publication and active 67 00:04:25,370 --> 00:04:23,070 harassment and personal attacks so I'm 68 00:04:28,460 --> 00:04:25,380 not suggesting there's been a change of 69 00:04:33,890 --> 00:04:28,470 degree in resistance but that it's 70 00:04:37,450 --> 00:04:33,900 really quite different and I'm not the 71 00:04:40,650 --> 00:04:37,460 only person who has made that a 72 00:04:42,999 --> 00:04:40,660 in fact Derek de sóller price a 73 00:04:47,700 --> 00:04:43,009 historian of science with a background 74 00:04:52,210 --> 00:04:47,710 in physics predicted that there would be 75 00:04:56,170 --> 00:04:52,220 crises in scientific activity in the 76 00:05:00,309 --> 00:04:56,180 second half of the 20th century price 77 00:05:04,149 --> 00:05:00,319 had found that since the 17th century by 78 00:05:07,990 --> 00:05:04,159 any measure science had grown at an 79 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:08,000 exponential rate doubling about every 15 80 00:05:17,950 --> 00:05:11,330 years twice as many journals twice as 81 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:17,960 many articles and so on John Simon in 82 00:05:25,029 --> 00:05:21,370 his book Prometheus Bound in 1994 83 00:05:28,089 --> 00:05:25,039 pointed out that more and more people 84 00:05:30,580 --> 00:05:28,099 doing research were beholden to patrons 85 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:30,590 the people who supported the work and 86 00:05:37,290 --> 00:05:34,130 that they were not free agents following 87 00:05:41,649 --> 00:05:37,300 their own inclination to discover things 88 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:41,659 Richard Linton a climate scientist asked 89 00:05:51,189 --> 00:05:46,490 rhetorically is climate science designed 90 00:05:55,719 --> 00:05:51,199 to answer questions and it isn't Philip 91 00:05:58,659 --> 00:05:55,729 Moravsky is a an economist who has just 92 00:06:03,790 --> 00:05:58,669 published a book called science Mart ma 93 00:06:13,649 --> 00:06:03,800 RT and he describes contemporary science 94 00:06:17,010 --> 00:06:13,659 as a set of Ponzi schemes and the short 95 00:06:22,269 --> 00:06:17,020 description of that that he gave me is 96 00:06:27,570 --> 00:06:22,279 it promises more than it can deliver but 97 00:06:30,430 --> 00:06:27,580 it didn't start that way necessarily and 98 00:06:36,339 --> 00:06:30,440 my book that I hope will come out later 99 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:36,349 this year is on the same theme and an 100 00:06:43,439 --> 00:06:40,370 article I published in 2004 in in JSC 101 00:06:48,519 --> 00:06:43,449 called 21st century science knowledge 102 00:06:50,510 --> 00:06:48,529 monopolies and research cartels really 103 00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:50,520 make some of these points or 104 00:07:00,680 --> 00:06:57,330 so the business meeting disturbed me 105 00:07:04,510 --> 00:07:00,690 considerably because in 30 years I've 106 00:07:09,619 --> 00:07:04,520 never heard such a gloomy prognosis on 107 00:07:14,180 --> 00:07:09,629 finances and I think it's obvious that 108 00:07:17,350 --> 00:07:14,190 we need to attract new members and I 109 00:07:20,809 --> 00:07:17,360 think that the fields in which there is 110 00:07:23,980 --> 00:07:20,819 suppression of minority views which I'm 111 00:07:27,589 --> 00:07:23,990 gonna run through in a minute represent 112 00:07:32,689 --> 00:07:27,599 places where we can look for potential 113 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:32,699 recruits bearing in mind however very 114 00:07:39,499 --> 00:07:35,370 much that as we look for recruits from 115 00:07:43,779 --> 00:07:39,509 mainstream areas we pay attention to the 116 00:07:48,709 --> 00:07:43,789 things that John Alexander pointed to 117 00:07:51,469 --> 00:07:48,719 this society started with people from a 118 00:07:53,450 --> 00:07:51,479 variety of disciplines interested in a 119 00:07:56,570 --> 00:07:53,460 variety of subjects with the one 120 00:08:00,070 --> 00:07:56,580 commonality that the subjects we were 121 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:00,080 interested in were despised by 122 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:03,810 mainstream science nowadays in an 123 00:08:08,540 --> 00:08:05,810 increasing number of mainstream 124 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:08,550 disciplines you have people who are 125 00:08:15,580 --> 00:08:12,810 being shoved aside excommunicated simply 126 00:08:19,100 --> 00:08:15,590 because their interpretation of 127 00:08:22,939 --> 00:08:19,110 acknowledged facts differs from the 128 00:08:26,540 --> 00:08:22,949 mainstream dogma and I'll run quickly 129 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:26,550 through some of these areas you might 130 00:08:33,769 --> 00:08:29,810 think that in pure science so-called 131 00:08:39,560 --> 00:08:33,779 there'd be no reason why there would be 132 00:08:44,569 --> 00:08:39,570 a total suppression of minority views 133 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:44,579 string theory Lee Smolin in the trouble 134 00:08:51,170 --> 00:08:47,730 with physics and Peter white in not even 135 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:51,180 wrong a physicist who himself has worked 136 00:08:57,260 --> 00:08:53,930 in string theory and a mathematician 137 00:08:59,449 --> 00:08:57,270 point out that if you do theoretical 138 00:09:02,269 --> 00:08:59,459 physics nowadays and you do not 139 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:02,279 subscribe to string theory you're going 140 00:09:07,490 --> 00:09:04,410 to have a very hard time getting a 141 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:07,500 job if you have a job a hard time 142 00:09:13,249 --> 00:09:10,170 getting promoted hard time getting 143 00:09:17,509 --> 00:09:13,259 funding hard time getting published in 144 00:09:18,740 --> 00:09:17,519 cosmology if you don't subscribe to the 145 00:09:21,319 --> 00:09:18,750 Big Bang Theory 146 00:09:24,579 --> 00:09:21,329 it might happen to you has happened to 147 00:09:28,309 --> 00:09:24,589 Helton app that you stop getting 148 00:09:32,329 --> 00:09:28,319 observation time on telescopes and up 149 00:09:36,230 --> 00:09:32,339 actually emigrated it to Germany to 150 00:09:42,619 --> 00:09:36,240 continue his research dinosaur 151 00:09:45,619 --> 00:09:42,629 extinction according to the conventional 152 00:09:48,350 --> 00:09:45,629 wisdom everybody knows that the impact 153 00:09:52,069 --> 00:09:48,360 of an asteroid caused the extinction of 154 00:09:54,639 --> 00:09:52,079 the dinosaurs that everyone who knows 155 00:09:57,259 --> 00:09:54,649 that doesn't include a lot of 156 00:10:00,499 --> 00:09:57,269 paleontologists whose specialty this is 157 00:10:04,699 --> 00:10:00,509 and one of those paleontologists Yui 158 00:10:08,210 --> 00:10:04,709 MacLean was told by Louis Alvarez a 159 00:10:12,410 --> 00:10:08,220 proponent of the asteroid hypothesis 160 00:10:16,730 --> 00:10:12,420 that he would destroy Dewey's career if 161 00:10:20,389 --> 00:10:16,740 he didn't stop criticizing and he did in 162 00:10:26,660 --> 00:10:20,399 fact try to stop do his promotion to 163 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:26,670 full professor there are other fields 164 00:10:34,220 --> 00:10:29,370 where it's not really pure science there 165 00:10:37,550 --> 00:10:34,230 are obvious applications in psychiatry 166 00:10:42,550 --> 00:10:37,560 there is nowadays essentially a dogmatic 167 00:10:46,389 --> 00:10:42,560 adherence to drag centered treatment and 168 00:10:49,850 --> 00:10:46,399 there have been many books published 169 00:10:56,740 --> 00:10:49,860 criticizing that without changing the 170 00:10:59,769 --> 00:10:56,750 fact and if anyone is inclined to regard 171 00:11:03,079 --> 00:10:59,779 Scientology and Dianetics as 172 00:11:07,759 --> 00:11:03,089 pseudoscience I invite them to take a 173 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:07,769 look at the diagnostic and statistical 174 00:11:19,460 --> 00:11:16,200 it's really extraordinary 175 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:19,470 I think drug centred medicine is also a 176 00:11:26,670 --> 00:11:23,050 dogma that physicians react against at 177 00:11:30,210 --> 00:11:26,680 their peril the sense of smell 178 00:11:34,140 --> 00:11:30,220 Luca Turin has developed the theory 179 00:11:36,930 --> 00:11:34,150 developed a theory 20 years ago on the 180 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:36,940 basis of which he has been far more 181 00:11:43,650 --> 00:11:39,810 successful in developing useful 182 00:11:48,780 --> 00:11:43,660 commercial perfumes than people using 183 00:11:52,560 --> 00:11:48,790 the standard paradigm of receptors for 184 00:11:55,650 --> 00:11:52,570 different odors but he's been 185 00:11:58,290 --> 00:11:55,660 excommunicated essentially plate 186 00:12:03,090 --> 00:11:58,300 tectonics there is a whole group of 187 00:12:06,260 --> 00:12:03,100 people new concepts in global tectonics 188 00:12:08,850 --> 00:12:06,270 that has had to start their own 189 00:12:12,980 --> 00:12:08,860 organization in their own publication 190 00:12:15,780 --> 00:12:12,990 because the mainstream will not publish 191 00:12:18,540 --> 00:12:15,790 discussions of the various phenomena 192 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:18,550 that cannot be explained under the 193 00:12:27,750 --> 00:12:23,290 conventional paradigm and the two 194 00:12:32,220 --> 00:12:27,760 Biggie's are hiv/aids and global warming 195 00:12:35,570 --> 00:12:32,230 if you say that you do not believe that 196 00:12:39,510 --> 00:12:35,580 HIV causes AIDS you are called an AIDS 197 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:39,520 denialist and you are equated with 198 00:12:47,100 --> 00:12:41,650 people who deny that the Holocaust 199 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:47,110 happened if you claim that global 200 00:12:55,500 --> 00:12:51,850 warming is not to any extent caused by 201 00:12:57,060 --> 00:12:55,510 human activities you called a global 202 00:13:01,940 --> 00:12:57,070 warming denialist 203 00:13:06,530 --> 00:13:01,950 and similarly despised and refused 204 00:13:10,110 --> 00:13:06,540 publication on both of those there are 205 00:13:14,190 --> 00:13:10,120 thousands of qualified people who 206 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:14,200 express the minority view and it is 207 00:13:21,950 --> 00:13:17,610 actually the case that there is no 208 00:13:26,340 --> 00:13:21,960 credible evidence that HIV causes AIDS 209 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:26,350 there is no credible evidence that human 210 00:13:33,750 --> 00:13:29,890 activities significantly increase the 211 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:33,760 rate of global warming I have had time 212 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:37,450 only to provoke a little bit with these 213 00:13:43,950 --> 00:13:40,330 assertions I'm hoping that later this 214 00:13:47,430 --> 00:13:43,960 year this book will appear in which I 215 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:47,440 document these things and try to offer a 216 00:13:59,660 --> 00:13:51,930 discussion of how we got here thank you 217 00:14:10,650 --> 00:14:06,590 first line Thank You Henry great talk 218 00:14:12,750 --> 00:14:10,660 how do you relate the issues that you're 219 00:14:14,670 --> 00:14:12,760 raising to the crisis in science 220 00:14:16,140 --> 00:14:14,680 education then losing you so much media 221 00:14:18,180 --> 00:14:16,150 we need to have more science education 222 00:14:20,430 --> 00:14:18,190 we need more better educated public 223 00:14:23,250 --> 00:14:20,440 around science what do you see the 224 00:14:25,350 --> 00:14:23,260 relationship is to that I think the 225 00:14:28,140 --> 00:14:25,360 fundamental problem is that there's too 226 00:14:31,020 --> 00:14:28,150 much so-called science being done and 227 00:14:32,970 --> 00:14:31,030 there's I mean there's it's a general 228 00:14:36,900 --> 00:14:32,980 rule that as you increase quality 229 00:14:39,810 --> 00:14:36,910 quantity the quality tends to go down we 230 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:39,820 have a situation now where there are far 231 00:14:44,940 --> 00:14:42,490 more people wanting to do research and 232 00:14:48,270 --> 00:14:44,950 asking for funding than is available and 233 00:14:53,970 --> 00:14:48,280 they have been side effects of that like 234 00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:53,980 the tremendous increase in open fraud 235 00:15:01,650 --> 00:14:57,730 and dishonesty in science which was very 236 00:15:04,530 --> 00:15:01,660 rare up to about 1980 and it's now 237 00:15:08,100 --> 00:15:04,540 common enough that there are actually 238 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:08,110 research units on ethics in science and 239 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:11,370 so on when I started in science you know 240 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:14,290 what it takes what does that have to do 241 00:15:23,010 --> 00:15:18,730 with science but there's a serious lack 242 00:15:24,810 --> 00:15:23,020 of reality in science education we're 243 00:15:28,850 --> 00:15:24,820 still teaching people that there's a 244 00:15:31,590 --> 00:15:28,860 scientific method you learn it delivers 245 00:15:34,500 --> 00:15:31,600 reliable results the fact of the matter 246 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:34,510 is that science is done by human beings 247 00:15:39,660 --> 00:15:38,530 who have to judge the results of 248 00:15:44,150 --> 00:15:39,670 experiments 249 00:15:47,550 --> 00:15:44,160 so Henry my experience in academia 250 00:15:50,670 --> 00:15:47,560 repeatedly echoes what you've said and 251 00:15:52,850 --> 00:15:50,680 and and so there's there's no question 252 00:15:57,180 --> 00:15:52,860 to all of us that you're right 253 00:16:01,440 --> 00:15:57,190 still I wonder if there if one can be an 254 00:16:03,810 --> 00:16:01,450 optimist here be and so how might one be 255 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:03,820 an optimist I suppose one way might be 256 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:06,490 to say it's always been bad and still 257 00:16:11,430 --> 00:16:08,890 think good things leak through and it 258 00:16:13,710 --> 00:16:11,440 will happen again another perhaps is 259 00:16:15,690 --> 00:16:13,720 that this this current paradigm is just 260 00:16:17,990 --> 00:16:15,700 gonna burn itself out and there will be 261 00:16:20,670 --> 00:16:18,000 a change because there has to be I 262 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:20,680 realize you've been particularly burned 263 00:16:25,170 --> 00:16:22,570 recently with your stance on aids and 264 00:16:29,460 --> 00:16:25,180 HIV and so you're suffering from it but 265 00:16:32,940 --> 00:16:29,470 do you see some positive movements I 266 00:16:35,730 --> 00:16:32,950 don't know where the positive change is 267 00:16:37,110 --> 00:16:35,740 going to come from but it has to come at 268 00:16:39,570 --> 00:16:37,120 some time 269 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:39,580 I haven't incidentally I haven't been 270 00:16:46,890 --> 00:16:42,730 heard by my stances because I've been 271 00:16:52,020 --> 00:16:46,900 happily retired for ten years but sooner 272 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:52,030 or later reality has to catch up and in 273 00:16:59,070 --> 00:16:55,930 the case of hiv/aids I think it's going 274 00:17:01,890 --> 00:16:59,080 to happen when eventually it's 275 00:17:05,310 --> 00:17:01,900 discovered that the people who are told 276 00:17:09,090 --> 00:17:05,320 they're HIV positive and who are being 277 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:09,100 given drugs will be found to be dying at 278 00:17:14,940 --> 00:17:11,890 a greater rate than they should be under 279 00:17:19,290 --> 00:17:14,950 the paradigm the trouble is that that 280 00:17:23,510 --> 00:17:19,300 these issues are all systemic what do 281 00:17:28,710 --> 00:17:23,520 you do to make the evaluation of 282 00:17:33,090 --> 00:17:28,720 people's work not based on getting 283 00:17:37,140 --> 00:17:33,100 grants I mean how do you accomplish that 284 00:17:40,470 --> 00:17:37,150 I mean Peter Peter Duesberg at Berkeley 285 00:17:43,850 --> 00:17:40,480 is is refused access to graduate 286 00:17:47,070 --> 00:17:43,860 students because his department had said 287 00:17:50,100 --> 00:17:47,080 in order to support graduate students we 288 00:17:52,350 --> 00:17:50,110 guarantee them support for four years 289 00:17:54,990 --> 00:17:52,360 the department can only do it for 290 00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:55,000 one year if you don't have grant funds 291 00:18:00,480 --> 00:17:57,490 equal to a quarter of a million dollars 292 00:18:04,140 --> 00:18:00,490 a year we're not going to let you take a 293 00:18:06,660 --> 00:18:04,150 grade your students now you know I'd 294 00:18:12,060 --> 00:18:06,670 like to be optimistic but how do you 295 00:18:16,950 --> 00:18:12,070 change the system away from that I think 296 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:18,000 great stuff 297 00:18:23,490 --> 00:18:21,010 I really agree with you but one of the 298 00:18:26,010 --> 00:18:23,500 things that seems to have crossed my 299 00:18:28,650 --> 00:18:26,020 mind recently is that more and more 300 00:18:31,409 --> 00:18:28,660 through maybe even the last 10 or 15 301 00:18:33,690 --> 00:18:31,419 years that a good bit of the public 302 00:18:36,299 --> 00:18:33,700 policy decision decisions that affect 303 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:36,309 our lives are not made on real science 304 00:18:41,850 --> 00:18:39,970 but are made on political people wanting 305 00:18:44,730 --> 00:18:41,860 to gain power or control or something 306 00:18:47,610 --> 00:18:44,740 else and that most of what happens to us 307 00:18:49,169 --> 00:18:47,620 now is based on lies and I think that's 308 00:18:51,930 --> 00:18:49,179 that and I don't know how we overcome 309 00:18:54,870 --> 00:18:51,940 that right I mean this is the crucial 310 00:18:59,030 --> 00:18:54,880 issue how is public policy gonna be 311 00:19:03,000 --> 00:18:59,040 based on evidence when the mainstream 312 00:19:06,630 --> 00:19:03,010 advice from the scientific community is 313 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:06,640 not based on that and things are so 314 00:19:13,770 --> 00:19:10,290 politicized that if you question 315 00:19:16,770 --> 00:19:13,780 hiv/aids or global warming you are 316 00:19:19,530 --> 00:19:16,780 referred to not only as a denialist but 317 00:19:22,100 --> 00:19:19,540 as a right-wing kook because it happens 318 00:19:26,490 --> 00:19:22,110 that some very conservative 319 00:19:29,250 --> 00:19:26,500 organizations have taken the stance that 320 00:19:37,919 --> 00:19:29,260 global warming is you know as a liberal 321 00:19:41,159 --> 00:19:37,929 conspiracy unfortunately I need to add 322 00:19:44,039 --> 00:19:41,169 to your list of separation one physicist 323 00:19:47,130 --> 00:19:44,049 from England Stephen Phillips if you 324 00:19:48,930 --> 00:19:47,140 heard about him he wrote a book ESP or 325 00:19:52,260 --> 00:19:48,940 quarks in superstrings 326 00:19:55,049 --> 00:19:52,270 and in my opinion this book really 327 00:19:57,360 --> 00:19:55,059 opened some new horizons for our physics 328 00:19:59,970 --> 00:19:57,370 but it's completely ignored and I would 329 00:20:03,110 --> 00:19:59,980 recommend everybody who is interested in 330 00:20:05,789 --> 00:20:03,120 this part of science look at this book 331 00:20:08,519 --> 00:20:05,799 as too 332 00:20:13,310 --> 00:20:08,529 how to fight with this situation I think 333 00:20:16,710 --> 00:20:13,320 that organized societies like ours and 334 00:20:19,249 --> 00:20:16,720 create if you wish our own civilization 335 00:20:23,369 --> 00:20:19,259 main science
