Nouveau Science

Bah. So far, no Perfume, and hence, no necking (see above).

I've been thinking about Science alot recently. Science with a capital Psi. I've read a little about the philosophy of Science, and how it's done. Popper and his idea of checking everything 3 times a day and twice on Sunday. And then Kuhn and the "paradigm". His bloody "para-dig-gigm".

Anyway, after turning most people away from the tea-room at work discussing to death the reality of atoms (what evidence do we have that they exist? Two twinkies for the first person to name the scientist and the experiment!), I've realised I want to take a 16th Catholic Church view to Science.

Let's take all the crazy internet crack-pots and burn them at the stake. Then, to test a Scientific idea, we take the person who proposes it, tie them up and throw them in the river. If they float, then they are a crazy internet crack-pot, and should be burned at the stake. If they sink, we adopt their principle into our body of knowledge, then mourn their loss to the Scientific community.

I'm weighing down my sneakers with lead as we speak.
