Students often ask; “What exactly is science?” Professors explain by discussing theories, proofs, laws of physics, observations, duplication of results, etc. Professors often pull rank on students when they argue a point with the professor on extending the professors definition of science. When this occurs the professor indicates to the student; “You obviously do not know what science is” they quickly tell the student.
Having had this scenario play over and over again, it would appear that those professors want to keep science for themselves. If they cannot answer a question or do not know the answer they will simply say; "that is not science" or "that is pseudo science” thus alleviating them the responsibility of answering the question. This is interesting indeed.
I have often thought; “science does not know what science is!” Science is not condemning another who caries a different perspective, science is not character assonating another in a primate political way to put forth their ideas or concepts over another. Since is not attacking someone’s concept because it does not match with what another was taught, science is not publish or perish over real breakthroughs. Science is not who publishes first or whose name is attached. Science is not engineering. Science is not denying a theory until you can prove it is not possible. Science is not rhetoric, that is politics.
Although in observing all the above discussion about what science is not and it appears that in the “real” world of science one observing these behaviors might perceive it to be just that. But such social interaction which actually occurs in science is not science at all, unless you call it “social science” but most scientists claim that is not a real science and if so why don’t they practice what they preach and dump the rhetoric? What all these scientists and professor’s are doing is not science, it is disgusting.
I think I enjoy the comments on this subject by Bill Bryson, Matt Ridley, Stephen Wolfram and recently Michael Crieghton in his book “Fear.” In any case all you scientists out there need to dump the BS and get busy propelling the human race and forwarding the progression of the species, you are not fooling me and many are simply getting quite tired of games. Think on that why don’t you?
