I really wonder if my grandchildren should be taught science in school. I know that they shouldn't be taught about sex because public schools have sex all wrong. The following two articles are what raise my doubts about science. (Of course the total conquest of our public schools by the Al Gore fantasy of human caused global warming long ago raised my doubts about teaching science in public schools.)
The first article attracts attention because of a beautiful graphic. The article in the research underlying it suggests that a small group of businesses, on a world scale, are closely interconnected and have a malicious hierarchy that puts a few of them on the very top in control of the rest.
The graphic and the list of businesses comes out of a scientific research agency that seems to focus on what they call complexity.
Ostensibly the connection among all of our global businesses, with malicious intent, is based on mutual stock ownership.
When you look at the list and look at the institutions at the top you are either an idiot, a scientist, or a lefty ideologue.
The businesses at the top that seem to have a global equity interest in controlling everyone else are banks and investment company's.
Hey you idiots out there, owning stock in a company is what banks and investment companies do. They rarely exercise any influence whatsoever on the companies they own shares in. In maybe, one out of the million shareholding transactions the shareholder tries to have an influence on the company. These one out of 1 million instances tend to be state employment pension funds, acting on behalf of unions.
The second example is from an experiment that got worldwide media attention suggesting that neutrinos from Switzerland travelled faster than the speed of light on a recent visit to Italy. The scientists involved were very decent and offered their raw data to hundreds of other scientists.
Weeks later the problem with the experiment was uncovered and published in an online physics journal. Barely covered by the media, the article explains the anomaly in the first Italian result.
The problem was that the researchers in Italy and the hundreds of others around the world who reviewed the data didn't know elementary quantum mechanics nor the history of physics. As we are reminded by the scientist in Holland "Michelson and Morley showed that an interference pattern is reference-frame independent"
In other words, the neutrinos were not exceeding the speed of light from the reference frame of a satellite clock moving at 18,000 mph.
Should we really trust public schools to teach science? They seem to do a worse job on science than they do on sex.
