Recently, ClimateGate revealed that many who work in the Climatology discipline have been blinded by greed, or blind faith akin to religion, or both, forsaking the pure pursuit of truth normally associated with scientists. I cannot help but be shocked by the disparity in the behavior of scientists in the Climatology discipline versus those in other disciplines like Physics, Astronomy, and Astrophysics.
Granted, there isn’t the money involved in these other disciplines as compared to Climatology, but really, this is shameful. Scientists should hold themselves to the highest standard, like Petr Horava.
In a recent article in the December 2009 issue of Scientific American about gravity, time and space, a new theory on gravity was discussed. The scientist proposing the new theory, Petr Horava, is a scientist at the University of California, Berkeley. The article works through his theory and describes other scientists who agree with it, and others who don’t. In fact, the article describes how one scientist, Diego Blas of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, has re-worked Horava’s theory. Horava’s response? He completely welcomes the changes:
“When I proposed this, I didn’t claim I had the final theory. I want other people to examine it and improve it.” –Petr Horava
Perhaps one day, real scientists who have the same attitude as Petr Horava will outnumber the pseudo-scientists currently dominating the Climatology discipline.
I want to quote your post in my blog. It can?
And you et an account on Twitter?
The writer of blackholethoughts.com has written a superior article. I got your point and there is nothing to argue about. It is like the following universal truth that you can not disagree with: there is a direct correlation between how hearty a person’s appetite is, and how pleasant and interesting their character. I will be back.
