Precisely. "Acts of science" lie in the blatant, unashamed, even
arrogant and self-righteous mutual masturbation of consensus, and its
practitioners seem blind to the point - or are duplicitous in ignoring
it. Just as politiicans who aspire to positions of power should be
excluded from wielding it, so too should 'scientists' who reside in
cozy consensus be exluded from that enterprise. Most are no more than
technicians, driven by their machinery and their learned mantras and
responses. Like Pavlov's dogs monkeys could be so trained. I think
his is a gentle reminder to 'scientists' to lift their game, and to
stop whinging they're being paid peanuts... The garbo drives machinery
just as efficiently, and as evidenced by the exchanges on this
newsgroup, often uses his intelligence more.

PLATE TECTONICS
.....the biggest hoax to be perpetrated on the Earth Sciences - ever.,

....as 'real scientists' pursue a quest for careers, consensus
approval, and lifestyle. ... all the whilst ignoring the reality of
the question posed by the existence of the Earth and the architecture
of its geological history:- "How is the Earth's spin encrypted in its
crustal deformation? How can the Earth double in size? How is mass
created"? We have extremely graphic means of demonstrating the
transmutation of mass into energy, but when even more graphic evidence
is presented of the possible transmutation of energy into mass, 'real
scientists' not only ignore it, but decry it, denigrate it and shoot
the messenger. The Earth Sciences present the geological evidence
that the Earth has virtually doubled in size since the Mesozoic. It's
a nonsense for physicists to avoid the issue by peevishly saying that
since Geology demonstrates the point of enlargement and asks the
question how can it happen, then (for its trouble in rocking the
comfortable consensus boat) Geology can provide the answer, ...and
similarly to ignore possible answers to the question on grounds that
there is no known way by which enlargement to that extent can occur.
Time they started looking for one. It's not the first time Geology has
paved the way for physics to follow.
So, ...with the architecture of spin of the Earth demonstrated, and the
axiomatic implication of enlargement of the Earth that follows, we wait
for the debate to begin - the question being, "How long must we wait?".
