Why Facts Don’t Change Our Minds
This is a great article in the New Yorker about why facts don’t change our minds. Well worth the read and well worth us thinking about why we cling to our own ideas, theories and models despite lots of evidence against. Here is an excerpt: “Surveys on many other issues have yielded similarly dismaying results. […]

I almost purposely tripped physics evangelist Neil deGrasse Tyson while attending a gala event at the International Documentary Association (IDA). I attended most all the meetings of the IDA for my documentary film “Einstein Wrong“, but this one was special when I found out that Neil was giving a short speech at this particular event being held at […]

According to scientists at Fermi Labs, proof of neutrino oscillation was found as seen here in Forbes magazine article entitled: “Little Particles that May Help Explain Why We’re Here”. Neutrino oscillation for those of you who do not know, is the “idea” that neutrinos change type while flying through space. According to the Forbes article, […]

The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you […]

Into the Underground Back in 1992, I met a physicist, Dr. Ricardo Carzani of Argentina who wanted me to help him get his idea out into the world. Dr. Carezani had shown Einstein’s theory of special theory of relativity wrong, corrected the problem, and found new equations which told a very different story about the […]
