What does this have to do with science and technology ?
Just a light hearted look at EGO.
I get a kick out of the phrase "Twelve angry Physicists". I am not sure why.
Friday, N.P.R. attempted to inject a little humor into the science community. Need I capitalize attempted.
We as humans are learning at an increasing rate that we don't know nuthin.
We were once educated by EXPERTS the earth was created October 14th, a few thousand years ago. Today we are taught, subduction as opposed to expansion is the only possible reason for continental drift. The Theory of Relativity conflicting with Quantum Mechanics, Gubmint can fix Real Estate. Lions will eat us.
All the while we do not even understand what makes a magnet work.
We should be teaching elementary school age children to question authority.

If you don't understand the difference between things learned via the scientific method and things learned because some guy said so, I don't know where to begin with you. Try the religion forum.

Kevin,
I am not really honored that you feel the need to begin with me at all.
Once again, the thread is intended as a little light hearted humor aimed at the steadfast rules that make up the science community. Let go, Unclench, relax, lest you end up as contemptuous as Nomograph.
Be productive ! Did you see a benefit for this thread in religion ?
