The current state of science has degenerated to the point that there are certain scientific theories which are not to be challenged. Any students of science whom even suggest that any of these theories is faulty, is promptly punished, by failing any course they may be taking. As well, anyone with a degree in science who spouts such ”heresy”, is not allowed to earn a living, working in any field of science.
Yet aside from these basic ”sacred theories”, scientists are allowed to speculate, to dream up other theories, to their ”hearts content”. This has given rise to various ”hare brained” notions, which are put forward, in the name of science. As a result of this, different science books say different things, and science has been reduced to an absurdity. Yet all books of science are agreed that there are certain scientific theories which are correct.
In all fairness to the various books of science, all have one thing in common. In this, they are all mistaken.
Perhaps the most cherished of all the ”sacred” scientific theories, is that of the ”mass extinction of dinosaurs”. This bit of nonsense was first put forward by Luis Alvarez, a famous scientist, a physicist, who suggested that a huge meteor had hit the planet, perhaps sixty five million years ago. He further suggested that, as a result of this impact, all of the dinosaurs had simply dropped dead.
Alvarez was a fine scientist, highly respected. The work that he did in his chosen field, that of physics, was excellent. For that reason, people listened closely to that which he said. That was somewhat unfortunate, as he was also human. In fact, all too often professional people make the mistake of expressing their opinion, concerning a subject of which they know nothing. Alvarez knew nothing about dinosaurs. That meteor, of sixty five million years ago, certainly did not wipe out the dinosaurs.
Alvarez was very likely correct, when he suggested that a huge meteor struck the planet, many millions of years ago. Such meteors are rocks from outer space. They are constantly striking the planet. Most of them are the size of a grain of sand, and immediately burn up in the atmosphere. They are commonly referred to as ”shooting stars”. Others are bigger, and hit the earth, occasionally doing some damage. Then there is the odd huge rock, which may cause wide spread devastation. That is a far cry from causing the mass extinction of countless species of animals!
Yet this theory was embraced by countless members of the public. Who can blame them? It has a certain romantic appeal. The idea is that all huge, terrifying, prehistoric animals, were killed by a rock from outer space! In this manner, the world was made safe for people! If nothing else, the theory sold a great many magazines!
The implication, that the mass extinction of dinosaurs was an Act of God, is quite agreeable to most common people. It is quite preferable to the belief in the theory of evolution!
That in no way changes the fact that the theory of the mass extinction of dinosaurs, is merely a fairy tale. Yet what are dinosaurs?
For many years, scientists have been aware that dinosaurs laid eggs. The discovery of the fossilized remains of countless dinosaurs eggs leaves no room for any doubt! Yet the laying of eggs is characteristic of reptiles, as well as birds. But it is only birds that have feathers. The trouble being, that feathers do not fossilize. So how to prove that dinosaurs had feathers, and were therefore birds?
Fortunately, it is not just the fossilized eggs of dinosaurs which have been discovered. The fossilized remains of the hides of various species of dinosaur have also been found. This is significant, because the ”feather follicles” -to use the scientific term- from which all new feathers grow, have also fossilized.
As an aside, I have to admit that in previous writings, I may have referred to these feather fossils as melanosomes. With hind sight, I confess that I have no idea how I made that mistake. Yet we all have our moments. But as the articles are already published, it is too late to make the necessary changes. I can only hope that it did not cause too much damage.
While I am on the subject of my mistakes, I must admit that the pterosaurs do not land exactly on the tops of trees, as I originally stated, but the animal pushes the top of the tree over and sits on the stem. That mistake was based on that which eye witnesses told me. Still a mistake. I take full responsibility for all of my mistakes. Having said that, we can now return to the subject of feather follicles.
With feather follicles in mind, recently the scientists had the brilliant idea of examining the fossilized remains of hides, of various dinosaurs, under a microscope. To their astonishment, they determined that these fossilized hides did indeed have fossilized feather follicles. Further, from the size, shape and distribution of these feather follicles, they are able to determine the size, shape and even the colour of the feathers, on these dinosaurs. Not only does this prove that dinosaurs were birds, but we also know the colour of their feathers! As birds certainly still exist, and birds are dinosaurs, then dinosaurs cannot be extinct! This proves that the theory of the mass extinction of dinosaurs is a myth! A fairy tale!
This in no way changes the fact that, as Robert Bakker stated in his book, Dinosaur Heresies, ”dinosaurs are incontrovertibly dead”. This despite the fact that he also states that ”birds are dinosaurs”! Dinosaurs cannot be both dead and alive! Yet Bakkar is recognized as an authority in his field. His book is considered to be the ”bible” of paleontology!
For that reason, modern day scientists have been forced to resort to verbal gymnastics, in an effort to reconcile the irreconcilable, to explain that even though dinosaurs are extinct, birds are dinosaurs! The alternative is career suicide!
Along with the theory of the mass extinction of dinosaurs, is the theory of the mass extinction of flying reptiles, technically referred to as pterosaurs, commonly referred to as pterodactyls. I use the expression ”along with”, because some scientists have classified these flying reptiles as dinosaurs, while others do not. Yet all are agreed that they went extinct at the same time that the dinosaurs went extinct.
These flying reptiles are certainly not extinct! Here too, we have a situation in which all scientists are agreed that there has never been any mass extinction of reptiles, even though there was a mass extinction of flying reptiles! They cannot have it both ways! Feel free to face the fact that flying reptiles are not extinct!
Further, they are located on six continents of the world, which means that they are not on the Antarctic. It remains to be seen, if they have managed to spread to various islands.
In most parts of the world these animals, flying reptiles, are called ”Dragons”, although in North America the most common local name is that of ”Thunder Bird”. The pterodactyls are no more extinct than dinosaurs -birds- are extinct!
Another ”sacred” theory is that of the mass extinction of huge swimming reptiles, including mosasaurs, plesiosaurs and ichthyosaurs. This despite the fact that ichthyosaurs were warm blooded animals, which gave birth to live young! So how can they be reptiles? Another awkward question! One that the scientists are not at all anxious to face!
Strangely enough, no scientist has even attempted to explain the reason for the ”mass extinction” of these huge swimming reptiles. This stands in stark contrast to the theories provided for the ”mass extinction of dinosaurs”. If nothing else, we are spared the recital of another fairy tale!
This brings us to that most glaring of absurdities, that of the ”mass extinction of mega fauna”, here in North America, at the end of the third, and last, ice age.
The scientists would have us believe that the ”mega fauna”, by which they mean the woolly mammoth, sabre toothed cat, Jefferson ground sloth, dire wolf and short faced bear, all dropped dead, because they could not handle climate change! This despite the fact that those species survived three ice ages! So what happened the first time the climate changed? More awkward questions for the scientists!
Other inconvenient facts also come to mind. One such fact is that the Jefferson ground sloth is named after the third American president, Thomas Jefferson. Even though it went extinct at the end of the last ice age, it was alive at the time of Jefferson! Imagine that!
That brings us to the dire wolf, which even the scientists admit is still alive, even though it is extinct. They refer to this as ”a remnant population of an extinct species”!
There was a time, not too long ago, when a species was either extinct, or not extinct. In those days, as long as one member of a species was still alive, then the species was not extinct. Yet that all changed recently, with the advent of the age of ”alternative facts”!
The next item on our hit parade is that of ”climate change”, in the form of ”global warming”. All scientists are agreed that the industrial revolution gave rise to the whole sale burning of ”fossil fuels”, and that this, in turn, is causing the world to become considerably warmer.
This neat little theory conveniently overlooks a few little details. The fact of the matter is that the climate is constantly changing! This has been going on since the creation of the planet, and if nothing else, is responsible for the fact that we have four seasons! We have no reason to expect the climate to remain constant! That is not about to happen!
This is not to say that the climate changes equally, on all the continents, at the same time. It does not. Different continents experience different rates of climate change.
As mentioned earlier, the continent of North American recently experienced no less than three ice ages. On three occasions, the continent cooled off, to the point that glaciers covered the continent. Also on three occasions, the continent warmed up, so that those glaciers melted. Continental climate change! It just so happens that we are fortunate to be living at a time in which North America is warm.
Another scientific theory, to which all scientists are agreed, is that there was a time when whales walked on land. True. But then, they would have us believe that around fifty million years ago, all whales took to the water, and lost their legs, over a period of many millions of years. Not exactly. One species of whale still has legs, still walks on land, still grazes, still eats vegetation. It is a predator, but not a carnivore, but an omnivore. It eats flesh as well as vegetation. That whale is basilosaurus.
This particular whale has given rise to various myths and legends. Perhaps the most famous of these legends is that of the Loch Ness Monster of Britain. Then too, here in North America, we have the legend of Ogopogo, the monster in Okanagan Lake. A great many people have seen these animals. Yet the scientific community is unanimous in dismissing all of these sightings, as the product of ”overly active imaginations”.
This in no way changes the fact that there are a number of people, at least in Britain, who are taking these sightings seriously. They are determined to prove the existence of this animal, very likely at their own expense. For this they deserve a great deal of credit.
The reports are that they are using boats and submersibles, complete with underwater cameras, during the day time. Also radar and sonar. As yet, they have come up ”empty handed”, and with good reason. These whales are nocturnal!
This is to say that basilosaurus spends the day light hours inside caves. Also the winter months. Yet they are predators, and as such have a keen sense of smell. Just as all predators are far more likely to attack when they smell blood, so too these whales come out of the caves, during the day time, whenever they smell blood. That helps to explain the occasional daytime sightings of these animals.
Yet as previously mentioned, these animals are omnivores. They eat vegetation, as well as flesh. This makes complete sense, as the fact is that a fresh water lake cannot possibly support a population of huge whales. There is simply not enough nourishment in the water! It is not the lake, by itself, which supports these whales, but the ecosystem!
The ecosystem consists of the lake, along with the caves, the streams which flow into the lake, and the adjacent woodlands, swamps and meadows. During the warm months, the whale comes out of the water, after sun down, and grazes. It consumes vegetation, mainly grass, no doubt.
The only reason no one has located this whale, is because no one is looking at the meadows. It is very likely that a simple trail camera could detect them, in the moon light.
It is also note worth that the health of the ecosystem depends largely upon the top predator. The experience of Yellowstone National Park proves that!
In that case, the park managers decided to kill all the wolves in the park. As a result of this, the grazing animals, and in particular the elk, very nearly turned the park into a desert. In desperation, the park managers were forced to import some wolves, at great expense, in order to restore the balance of nature.
Happily, this worked, so that the wolves, as top predator, tore into the herds of grazing animals. The balance of nature, within the park, was restored. Yellowstone was saved.
The point is that we must first prove the existence of basilosaurus, the top predator in these huge lakes, and then protect them. The health of the whole ecosystem depends on this.
This brings us to several separate species of humans, which all the scientists agree are extinct. They are not.
The idea that our species, that of homo sapiens, is unique, has a certain appeal, especially to common people. It must also have a certain appeal to the scientists, as it is deeply entrenched in the scientific literature. They would have us believe that even though various species of humans evolved, we are the one and only species of human to survive. Not true!
The fact of the matter is that a species of ape, known as Gigantopithecus, managed to achieve bipedal locomotion, which is to say that they started to walk on two legs, and then, with their forelimbs free for labour, evolved the opposable thumb. They can touch their finger tips with their thumbs! Bipedal apes, complete with the opposable thumb, are the very definition of human! At least, that is my definition of human.
These people, whom I refer to as Giants, live among us, here in North America. They are seen on a regular basis, and are commonly referred to as ”Bigfoot” or ”Sasquatch”. I refer to them as Giants, a name which is meant to be more accurate, without being derogatory.
This prejudice against all other species of human, helps to explain the attitude of the scientists, concerning a recently discovered species of human, in South Africa, which lived possibly 200,000 years ago. The scientists have given that species the name of Homo Naledi.
Arguments have been made that the brain size of Homo Naledi, that of 600 cc, in that cc stands for cubic centimetres, is too small to be that of a human.
The brain size of our species, Homo Sapiens, is around 1400 cc. The scientists point out that the brains of our closest living relatives, that of chimpanzees, is a mere 400cc, so that a brain of 600cc is too small to be human. Such is hardly the case!
Yet it is broadly accepted, at least among the scientific community, that there was a species of human which lived on the island of Flores, many years ago, referred to as Homo Floresiensis. Their brain size was about 400cc, around that of the size of brains of chimps, yet they were unquestionably human.
It is also a fact that the brain size of Pygmies- although they tend to refer to themselves as Bambuti or Mbuti- is around 400cc, also the same size as that of chimpanzees. Yet without doubt, Pygmies are human. No one disputes that fact! The point being that ”human” is not determined by the size of the brain. Now if only the scientists could face that fact!
Incidentally, the brain size of another species of human, that of Neanderthals, is estimated to be even larger than our own, coming in at 1500cc. Yet that is another species of human, which the scientists insist is extinct. Not likely!
This brings us to the most passionately defended bit of scientific hog wash, which is the claim, put forward by various scientists, as well as all government officials, that men walked on the moon! Nonsense!
It is Adolf Hitler who is credited with making the statement that ”If a lie is big enough, and repeated often enough, then people will believe it.” The lie that ”men walked on the moon”, certainly qualifies as one of the all time great lies! A true whopper!
But now let us consider the facts which make it impossible to travel to the moon.
First of all, the earth is a giant magnet, and as such, creates a huge magnetic field, which circles the planet. This is a good thing, to put it mildly. Without that magnetic field, we would all be dead!
In scientific jargon, this magnetic field gives rise to something referred to as the Van Allen Belt, which wraps around the earth, much as a protective blanket. This Belt, or blanket, blocks most of the radiation from the sun, which allows life to exist on our planet. Without that Belt, we would be bombarded with massive doses of radiation.
Yet the scientists would have us believe that astronauts passed through this Van Allen Belt, on their trip to the moon. If that was the case, they would have been exposed to massive doses of radiation, which would have quickly killed them. Perhaps not immediately, but within a few days.
No doubt, many skeptical readers will check on the internet- as I did- in the interest of conducting a proper investigation. With that in mind, may I suggest clicking on the article titled: ”Yes, Apollo Flew Through the Van Allen Belts Going to the Moon.”
I recommend this article because it provides a very clear cut explanation of the reason that it is not possible to fly men to the moon. Feel free to disregard the title, as the facts presented within the article proves precisely the opposite. It is simply not possible, to fly people to the moon!
In this video, which runs for a length of eleven minutes, seven seconds, a lovely young lady, a fine actor, explains that ”the earth, which is nothing other than a huge magnet, creates a magnetic field. This magnetic field, which is referred to as the Van Allen Belt, acts as a protective envelope”, one which ”traps most of the radiation from the sun”. An instructive drawing is thoughtfully provided, as a means of illustration. It is further explained that without this ”protective envelope”, the ”earth would be bombarded with massive doses of radiation, which would kill all life on earth”. Or at least it would kill us!
Excellent! So far so good!
She went on to say that the ”scientists of the time”, fifty years ago, ”were well aware that the only way the astronauts could get to the moon, was by passing through this Van Allen Belt, and in the process, soaking up massive doses of radiation”. Of course, after they passed through the Van Allen Belt, ”they would then be exposed to even more radiation, all of which was sure to kill them”. This too is true!
Once again: Excellent!
That explanation, which is stated in very clear, simple terms, should provide non technical people -and most working people are non technical- with a basic understanding of the importance of the magnetic field of the planet. It also explains that it is impossible to fly to the moon, without getting killed!
Bear in mind that this young lady is not a physicist, but an actor. No doubt she was paid to read a script, probably with the help of a teleprompter, and she did a fine job! If I was working in the field of entertainment, I would not hesitate to hire her! She knows how to deliver a speech! She certainly earned her pay!
The point being that we cannot hold her responsible for the nonsense which followed! She was merely reading from a teleprompter!
It is very likely that the scientists were forced to hire this young lady, as they could not find any scientist who was prepared to stoop to the hypocrisy of reciting the nonsense which followed! At least, not with a straight face!
It was the scientific writers who deliberately led with a few basic facts, followed by a vast amount of detailed technical information, in an attempt to confuse people. Buried within that mountain of gobbledegook, was a jewel of a detail, which is referred to as ”shielding of the space craft”.
I can only stress that she was reading from a teleprompter. She went on to explain that, ”in order to protect the astronauts from the radiation which was sure to kill them”, there was a ”Radiation shielding to the space craft, especially to the main command module, where the crew would be spending most of their time”.
Nonsense!
The scientists would have us believe that the astronauts went to the moon, through the Van Allen Belt, and were protected from the radiation of the sun, by a ”protective shield”. Such a protective shield does not exist! There is no such substance! It does not exist now, and did not exist fifty years ago! There is no way that astronauts could possibly have gone to the moon, without being exposed to massive doses of radiation! That radiation would have killed them!
Yet to this day, the scientists, and all government officials, insist that ”men walked on the moon”! This despite the fact that it cannot be done, without a ”protective shield”, which does not exist! Duh!
It is quite possible that this lie may go down in history as the ultimate absurdity!
The theories which I have listed are the ”theories” that common people can help to disprove, quite simply and easily. Feel free to become active and do the work of the scientists! It may help to think of this as part of the revolutionary motion, if only because that is precisely the case!
In other writings, I have detailed the simple steps which must be taken, in order to disprove these fairy tales. I see no reason to repeat them.
There are other scientific theories -fairy tales- which the scientists have chosen to embrace, or face career suicide. These include the ”existence of dark matter and dark energy”. That implies the existence of a fifth fundamental force in the universe!
More nonsense!
Sadly, the state of science has regressed to a point which can be compared only to that which existed before Newton and Darwin. This is to say that modern scientific enquiry no longer exists.
The problem is one of capitalism, at least capitalism in its final, most rotten stage of monopoly, technically referred to as imperialism. As Lenin stated, imperialism is ”reaction, right down the line”. The imperialists, in the form of the monopoly capitalists, the billionaires, the bourgeoisie, can and must be overthrown. Until they are overthrown, there will be no progress in any field of science.
It is the working class, the proletariat, which is destined to overthrow that most reactionary class, and crush them, under the Dictatorship of the Proletariat.
The revolutionary motion is growing ever stronger, at least here in North America. It is just a matter of time, and probably a short time, before it breaks out into open rebellion.
With that in mind, I can only offer a word of friendly advice to the scientists and government officials, those who persist in propagating those ridiculous theories. Feel free to ”come clean”, to admit that it is all a pack of lies. After all, any day now, the truth will be revealed. Better to ”cut your losses”, to join the working class in overthrowing the bourgeoisie.
Your education and experience can be put to good use. Feel free to share with the working people, the revolutionary theories of Marx and Lenin. Let them know what you have gone through, in your years of service to the capitalists. Tell people how you degraded yourself, spreading lies, in the interests of maintaining your career. Your past will not be held against you.
Bear in mind that the alternative is to oppose the revolution, to continue to defend the bourgeoisie. In that case, you can expect to become a target of the revolution. The working class cannot force you, or anyone else, to do the right thing. Yet we can make you wish you had.
Choose wisely. Otherwise, do not be surprised if, after the revolution, you end up in the same remote work camp as that of your former lords and masters, the bourgeoisie. You may then find yourself performing the same manual labour, which could well involve pick and shovel. You have been warned.
