People rely far too much on what Science says is truth/true and never question its outcomes. This is now being brought into a spotlight in lieu of the Covid-19 vaccine that is about to be foisted on a world population. Science is routinely wrong and the next two posts on my blog I will show two examples of Science's failures. First, I will show how something real in Science was abandoned completely at the dawn of the 20th Century and shouldn't have been and in the second I will show how Science created a field of science and put forth theories and 'evidence' that were horribly wrong because it was interpreted through a racist and supremacist viewpoint. First up...
Abandonment/Exclusion of a Scientific Idea
There was once a scientific theory of an unseen substance in the universe that affected the travel of light and effects of gravity but was subsequently disproven…or was it? Aether or Ether, the stuff of Fantasy novels and Steampunk lore. According to science until well into the early 20th century the aether, æther, aither, or ether and also called quintessence, was the material that supposedly filled the region of the universe above the terrestrial sphere (hencefore referred to as aether). The Greeks believed it was the rarified air αἰθήρ/aither at the mountain tops that the gods of the Greek Pantheon breathed on Mt Olympus in Thessalonica in the clouds. Not the air or ἀέρα· aera/air that humans breathed at ground level as noted in 1 Thessalonians 4:17. Originally the concept of aether was used in several theories in science to explain several natural phenomena. In particular, the traveling or transference of light and of the effects of gravity. In the late 19th century, physicists postulated that aether permeated all throughout space, providing a medium through which light could travel in a vacuum, but evidence for the presence of such a medium was not found in the Michelson–Morley experiment, and this result has been interpreted as meaning that no such luminiferous aether exists. Please note that ‘it was interpreted as not existing’. It was believed to be imaginary. That is to say that there was no evidence to prove it didn’t either. Logically, you cannot prove a negative. So…the idea was never actually disproved. It was abandoned just. Why?
The belief in aether persisted until approximately 1905 to 1915. What happened in that ten-year timeframe? Einstein happened. The ether wasn't proved imaginary, it proved inconvenient. Like the Bible it was viewed as not necessarily incorrect but rather irrelevant. Einstein banished the aether by postulate (not by experiment) in his famous 1905 Special Relativity paper and resurrected a form of the ether in his 1915 General Relative paper. Just as Marx did to the Bible in politics/economics and Darwin did in biology and the origins of life. Conversely, the Michelson-Morley Experiment in 1887 (and similar experiments after it) proved nothing of the sort. Einstein himself stated explicitly that if the results of Dayton Miller's interferometer experiments (1904) were true (concerning the ether) his Relativity Theories were false. Dayton Miller’s test results were viewed as a statistical anomaly and disregarded but Sagnac's and the Michelson-Gale experiment (1925) proved conclusively against Einstein with regard to the objective existence of an ether----these were ignored or explained away and ignored as Einstein’s theories had been embraced and subsequently promulgated by those of influence in Science...much to the chagrin of modern Quantum theorists in 2020. Quantum Theorists have now accepted that "space" is not ‘nothing’ or pure vacuum but consists of a sea-foam of Planck sized particles---contradicting Einstein's claims about the ether.
Yet science in its all-knowing wisdom forged ahead with its alternate explanation from Albert Einstein and forsook the theories and ideas of aether altogether. As if it had never existed at all. The entirety of scientific thought wrapped around the concept of the aether were expunged from scientific historical record and now only exists in the limbo of irrelevance and novelty in the realm of pseudoscience and anti-vaccination folks. Its kind of the same place they try to jam the Bible too. A land of myth, fable or folklore. Neither real nor not real. It as if it disappeared into the air/aether.
Moral of Story: By accepting without question what has been
indoctrinated is dangerous if one fails to find the real truth(s). The real
fact(s). We as a people need to develop more skepticism after being misled by
Science so many times. Question the answers. Science isn’t infallible. Science
is not a god. Science is in-fact very fallible. Why? Because Science is the
religion of man. It is therefore capricious and flawed just as men. Religions
are manmade things. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. But
God is still God. If he is truly omniscient and omnipotent, He is therefore wholly
other and wholly perfect. Infallible. Unchanging.
