You know this consensus science is totally wrapped up in the holocaust. All the scientists say it happened and they have a ton of "evidence" like all those shoes. Lol. No proof. No real science--just consensus. AND YOU BETTER AGREE!
So the consensus is the earth is a globe spinning at 1000 mph approximately, while wobbling for change of seasons.. it is flying around the sun at 67 thousand miles per hour... everything is flying through the universe at ungodly speeds.
At the same time another globe is spinning around the first globe from 237k miles away and spins at the perfect speed to always face the first globe
This is the consensus and if you dare mention flat earth or scientific method to test flat earth their is a weird group of shill that brigade attack using jdif type tactics
Well, unfortunately, it wasn't stopped cold in its tracks. It has completely permeated not only the way science is presented in the media but also the scientific institutions themselves.
Scientists and engineers who question "the consensus" are swiftly ostracized, defunded and removed from "the scientific community". This is a complete disaster, because this is no longer science, and no meaningful scientific progress is possible this way. What is presented as "science" is now driven entirely by politics and greed, not facts and evidence. It is a cult of sorts, and the younger generations entering the field are being thoroughly indoctrinated into it.
We are at the beginning of a new dark age. Where superstitions reign supreme, with unhinged doomsayers as our prophets.
Im not sure you can have scientific method without some level of scientific consensus. You need some sort of null hypothesis —e.g. “Newtonian physics is how the universe works” and then you must gather new data or evidence and analyze the null hypothesis in the context of the data to verify its correctness or show that it is inadequate (e.g. “Relativity and quantum physics are a thing.”)
This is sometimes expressed as a bayesian probability P(H|E) = [P(E|H) x P(H)] /P(E) where E is new evidence and H is the “consensus”: a widely accepted model
I think. Its been awhile. But this is probably how a mathemetician would define scientific method.
The problem that some people dont understand is that the consensus is temporary. The widely accepted models that we have for reality are imperfect and must be continually refined and sometimes massively revised. Earlier models are always being overthrown.
The scientific establishment is a corrupt human institution controlled by priests in the service of government, or some other power elite. There should be no presumption of objectivity there, as Galileo could tell us, or that guy they drowned over the square root of 2. Covid was a great reminder of this, with everybody slavishly worshipping “The Fauci”.
I find it interesting that some people can be very objective in some areas of inquiry but zealously stubborn in others. Everybody has a sacred cow. The brain is not a rational machine.
Science has been the great intellectual adventure of our age, and a great hope for our troubled and restless world. But I did not expect science merely to extend lifespan, feed the hungry, cure disease, and shrink the world with jets and cell phones. I also expected science to banish the evils of human thought—prejudice and superstition, irrational beliefs and false fears. I expected science to be, in Carl Sagan’s memorable phrase, “a candle in a demon haunted world.” And here, I am not so pleased with the impact of science. Rather than serving as a cleansing force, science has in some instances been seduced by the more ancient lures of politics and publicity. Some of the demons that haunt our world in recent years are invented by scientists. The world has not benefited from permitting these demons to escape free.
