Astronomy. “Small” big errors. Science as the king. Forever! No matter what! (really, everything goes!!!)
49 Lib, a relatively bright star in the southern sky, is twelve billion years old rather than just 2.3 billion. For many decades, researchers were stumped by conflicting data pertaining to this celestial body, because they had estimated it as much younger than it really is. Determining its age anew, astronomers have now successfully resolved…

New gravity: There is no gravity! (as we know it) Focusing on the phenomena. The problem of modern science.
A controversial new hypothesis that suggests our understanding of gravity is wrong has just passed an important first test. First proposed back in 2010, the new hypothesis states that gravity might behave and arise very differently than Einstein predicted, and an independent study of more than 30,000 galaxies has now found the first evidence to…

Ecology: For all the wrong reasons. [Nature runs faster and the need for philosophy]
Humans always try to catch up with nature… Lake Champlain may be more susceptible to damage from climate change than was previously understood, researchers have found Therefore, they say, the rules created by the EPA to protect the lake may be inadequate to prevent algae blooms and water quality problems as the region gets hotter…

Science and Astronomy. As in “Astrology”. No, really! Read the article!
We are not blank slates with regard to how susceptible we are to emerging strains of flu virus, researchers have discovered. These findings could provide relevant information for the development of a universal flu vaccine. Your birth year predicts - to a certain extent - how likely you are to get seriously ill or die…

Materialistic dogmatism in modern science. Just another example of the many…
[…] the rise of modern neuroscience has seen a more pragmatic approach gain ground: an approach that is guided by philosophy but doesn’t rely on philosophical research to provide the answers. Its key is to recognise that explaining why consciousness exists at all is not necessary in order to make progress in revealing its material…
