How Science Got Sound Wrong

I know, lets find some flatearthers who think that mathematical analogies mistaken as facts.... somehow represent how people hear.

As they read something about human hearing and decided to force factualize that into the math they learned in some engineering application.

As god knows, since science says there are no facts and all is theory, as thing change constantly..well..

it then makes perfect sense to create a whole wall of facts around the engineering math of sound reproduction and somehow conflate this into some dogma about how humans hear....and all must be that reality....and the rest is just human fallacy, right?

As we know all the math and we know everything about human hearing, right?

Just like we knew everything about human eyesight just yesterday, right?

If you want to win an argument remotely related to science you may NOT want to quote someone:

- With NO scientific training

- With NO experience WORKING in the sciences

- With NO scientific accomplishments.

Furthermore, you MAY want to quote someone playing with a full deck.

Nice catch? .... well you caught something all right, but I hope there is a cure for it.

1- Dan, tell us something about your background.

 

I was born, raised and received my professional training in filmmaking and media production in the New York CIty area.

As a child I had many precognitive dreams. These experiences taught me that our normal perception of reality wasn't the whole picture, and that things went on "behind the scenes" to which our normal senses, and our scientific instruments, seem to be blind. This instilled in me a healthy skepticism toward the limited picture of reality we've been fed by our culture.

In the mid-1960s I was invited by John Keel to accompany him on his research trips to Point Pleasant, West Virginia, where the mysterious Mothman was scaring the wits out of local residents, cops, and no-nonsense private pilots who had seen the enigmatic creature in full flight. This was my first exposure to "high strangeness," and it also taught me a lot about irrational and politicized skepticism. John wrote about some of my adventures in his book, *The Mothman Prophecies*, from which the Richard Gere movie was loosely adapted. It still freaks me out when I recall that I walked across the Silver Bridge less than a week before it collapsed into the Ohio River!

 

During the 1980s I became involved in the research into the apparent anomalies on Mars, initially working with Richard Hoagland and later with the Society for Planetary Seti Research. I'm still on the fence about some of these Mars features, but to me the most interesting part of that experience was my encounter with the bizarre irrationality and bullying tactics of the debunker community, many of whom fancied themselves scientists but were happy to behave perfectly unscientifically when it came to controversial subject matter.

 

Since about 2001 I've been producing some documentaries about scientific research into the afterlife. If you think the notion of ET brings out the bottom-feeding debunkers, just try getting into any inquiry that questions, on science's own terms, the materialist belief that the mind is the brain and that death is the end of awareness. That really drives them crazy!

In the war between an homeopath for example and some scientist pick by chance in a forum thread, where is the true scientist ?
