Mike Adams & Andrew Wakefield on Scientific Revolutions

Dr Andrew Wakefield speaks on the structure of
scientific revolutions: Vaccines, viruses and evolution

An excellent discussion on the history of science and how revolutionary figures are often savagely attacked, despite being correct.

The stuff about cold fusion was interesting. Steven Jones was also a leading name in cold fusion, but his work was separate from Fleischmann and Pons. In 2009, US Navy researchers presented new evidence supporting its existence. Not surprisingly, the Randi-crowd continues to assert that it's a load of bull.



One other example of this sort of thing is the reaction to Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity. When it was first proposed, many scientists resisted it and passionately defended the old dogma of Newtonian gravity. Today, Einstein's theory stands as probably one of the most successful theories in science. It's been rigorously tested and has passed every single experimental test devised for it. But even it is not the whole picture, as observations that we invoke the mystical concepts of dark matter and dark energy to explain suggest the need for a new physics. I expect in the future a new theory will be proposed that overturns Einstein, and it too will be met with the same level of resistance.

The same thing is happening today in various areas of science, such as climate science and medicine. The old dogmas of vaccines and anthropogenic global warming are collapsing as more and more scientists begin to question their merits. The elitist 'intellectuals' and their 'rational' fans can only resort to smearing their opposition as they cling to their outdated theories and desperately try to prevent scientific revolution.
