Download or read book Getting It Right in Science and Medicine written by Hans R. Kricheldorf and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-05-31 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book advocates the importance and value of errors for the progress of scientific research! Hans Kricheldorf explains that most of the great scientific achievements are based on an iterative process (an ‘innate self-healing mechanism’): errors are committed, being checked over and over again, through which finally new findings and knowledge can arise. New ideas are often first confronted with refusal. This is so not only in real life, but also in scientific and medical research. The author outlines in this book how great ideas had to ripen over time before winning recognition and being accepted. The book showcases in an entertaining way, but without schadenfreude, that even some of the most famous discoverers may appear in completely different light, when regarding errors they have committed in their work. This book is divided into two parts. The first part creates a fundament for the discussion and understanding by introducing important concepts, terms and definitions, such as (natural) sciences and scientific research, laws of nature, paradigm shift, and progress (in science). It compares natural sciences with other scientific disciplines, such as historical research or sociology, and examines the question if scientific research can generate knowledge of permanent validity. The second part contains a collection of famous fallacies and errors from medicine, biology, chemistry, physics and geology, and how they were corrected. Readers will be astonished and intrigued what meanders had to be explored in some cases before scientists realized facts, which are today’s standard and state-of-the-art of science and technology. This is an entertaining and amusing, but also highly informative book not only for scientists and specialists, but for everybody interested in science, research, their progress, and their history!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the following pages I have endeavored to give a simple account of problems which have occupied the attention of the human mind ever since the dawn of civilization, and which can never lose their interest until time shall be no more. While to most persons these subjects will have but an historical interest, yet even from this point of view they are of more value than the history of empires, for they are the intellectual battlefields upon which much of our progress in science has been won. To a few, however, some of them may be of actual practical importance, for although the schoolmaster has been abroad for these many years, it is an unfortunate fact that the circle-squarer and the perpetual-motion-seeker have not ceased out of the land." -Preface

Download or read book Scientific Fallacies and Other Myths written by Del DowDell and published by . This book was released on 2010-01-27 with total page 578 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Understanding of How Science has Conditioned the World to think Hypothesis, Theories and Supposition are Factual and Unchallengeable, specifically in areas of Radiocarbon Dating and Long Period Time Clocks, Geologic Epochs and the Geologic Column, The Big Bang Singularity and the Red-Shifted Expanding Universe, and in Universal and Organic Evolution, while at the same time, refuting the evidences for a Short Term Formation of the Earth, a World-Wide Flood, and The Division of the Earth. While there is a 6,000-year-old written history depicting events relevant to this knowledge, scientists reject the information out of hand; however, in understanding this early text, one can come to a better, much clearer understanding of such things as how the Universe and Earth were formed, and under what principles this took place. One thing is certain in all this ancient knowledge, this world is not 4.55 billion years old as scientists like to claim, though some of the materials used in its formation may well be that old or older. However, the organization of this planet as a whole took place in a relatively short period of time and has existed in its present form for far less than science believes. While this argument generally centers between those who believe in the evolutionary force that created all things visible in nature, and those who believe in a force outside nature as a chief architect of all things in nature-the bottom line to any belief should be the truth. This work centers on beliefs vs. facts, resistance to knowledge and acceptance of knowledge, and of an understanding of how things happened based on the Laws of Physics as opposed to some force operating outside those laws, that has no explanation and no testable factors outside unproven and unprovable hypotheses.

Download or read book Science Left Behind written by Alex Berezow and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2014-02-04 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To listen to most pundits and political writers, evolution, stem cells, and climate change are the only scientific issues worth mentioning—and the only people who are anti-science are conservatives. Yet those on the left have numerous fallacies of their own. Aversion to clean energy programs, basic biological research, and even life-saving vaccines come naturally to many progressives. These are positions supported by little more than junk-science and paranoid thinking. Now for the first time, science writers Dr. Alex B. Berezow and Hank Campbell have drawn open the curtain on the left's fear of science. As Science Left Behind reveals, vague inclinations about the wholesomeness of all things natural, the unhealthiness of the unnatural, and many other seductive fallacies have led to an epidemic of misinformation. The results: public health crises, damaging and misguided policies, and worst of all, a new culture war over basic scientific facts—in which the left is just as culpable as the right.
