Detecting nuclear explosions, “detecting” nuclear explosions…

CBTO_skakos_1

The new are full of headlines on how CTBTO managed to detect the nuclear blast of the North Korea recent test. Through sensors – both seismic and even radioactivity sensors (really?) – the agency is said to be able to determine even the type of the device tested. (1, 2, 3)

This is what technology and science gives us!

Really?

Think again!

It is all a matter of prejudice. As modern fortune-tellers, scientism lovers feel oblidged to  We THINK we can detect a nuclear explosion with the detectors deployed by CTBTO only because we ALREADY know a test took place!!!

Simple, yet the TRUE ESSENCE of our “capabilities”. Have we not known the “bad” N. Korea would do any test, we would still be discussing various theories on what this “unexplained” phenomenon might be…

Spiros Kakos is a thinker located in Greece. He has been Chief Editor of Harmonia Philosophica since its inception. In the past he has worked as a senior technical advisor for many years. In his free time he develops software solutions and contributes to the open source community. He has also worked as a phD researcher in the Advanced Materials sector related to the PCB industry. He likes reading and writting, not only philosophy but also in general. He believes that science and religion are two sides of the same coin and is profoundly interested in Religion and Science philosophy. His philosophical work is mainly concentrated on an effort to free thinking of "logic" and reconcile all philosophical opinions under the umbrella of the "One" that Parmenides - one of the first thinkers - visualized. The "Harmonia Philosophica" articles program is the tool that will accomplish that. Life's purpose is to be defeated by greater things. And the most important things in life are illogical. We must fight the dogmatic belief in "logic" if we are to stay humans... Credo quia absurdum!
