Even More Unscientific Science

After discussing the many flaws of String Theory, the Big Bang, and nutrition, there are a couple of other fields to mention that have the audacity to place themselves under the umbrella of science.

In the realm of quantum physics, there are some strange things that occur. The results of the experiments defy explanation, although they do not defy prediction. Let it be known that I am not attacking quantum physics. It is a science with predictive power. Some of the greatest thoughts and inventions have come from quantum physics. The beauty of Schrodinger's equation for the wavefunction, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, or the Pauli exclusion principle cannot be denied. All of these things have helped to make great strides in science.

However, when we get into some of the experiments and results, the explanations become a mess. The famous double slit experiment is often used as an example of quantum weirdness. Basically, subatomic particles are fired through a screen with two slits while a piece of film on the other side reflects where the particles wound up. When this is done, an interference pattern forms that is analogous to the interference pattern of waves. When some detector is used to figure out which slit the particles went through, the interference pattern disappears and the particles behave like particles rather than waves. This is all good and well (even if it's inexplicable). But then some of the explanations for such behavior kicks in, and these so-called scientists go off to fantasy land.

One of the most disgusting is the multiple universe explanation (a.k.a. the many worlds interpretation). This states that the universe actually splits into a whole plethora of worlds and universes as the particle is shot through the double slits and the particle travels in a separate direction in each universe forming the interference pattern. When we observe which slit the particle goes through, all of these universes condense back into one and the particle chooses a single route to follow. This is complete and utter nonsense! There is zero evidence for multiple universes. In an attempt to explain a baffling phenomenon, a bunch of retards came up with this explanation that causes more confusion than the actual phenomenon. It is simply disgusting that such explanations are able to exist in scientific literature.

Another field of "science" that should be eliminated is astrobiology. This is the study of extraterrestrial life. This would be noble, except for one thing: we haven't discovered any extraterrestrial life yet! What the hell are these people studying? I'll tell you-- nothing! They study absolutely nothing! They sit around and speculate on what life on other planets might possibly look like. They draw pictures to describe these made-up life forms or use computer graphics to generate images.

They may be wonderful fiction writers and perhaps good artists as well. But they are certainly not scientists. Sitting around making up stories can be an occupation. But it should not be considered science. If and when we ever do discover life on other planets, then the field of astrobiology will become valid. Until that day, they are simply bullshitting to everyone.

Furthermore, they search desolate planets in search of evidence that life once existed there. This search is completely futile. When we observe the various forms of life that exist we see archaebacteria that live in black smokers, fish that can move across hot sulphur, and nematodes that can survive in the extreme cold of the arctic and antarctic. Life is versatile and built to survive. Individual species may come and go, but life itself will always go on. If life ever existed on a desolate planet, I can guarantee that it would still be there today. Life itself cannot be eradicated from a planet. If there is no life there now, there never was. Give up the search.

So to all astrobiologists, your title is currently meaningless. And as far as the quantum physicists go, stop coming up with ridiculous explanations! And when someone else in the field suggests something that is clearly nonsense, don't be afraid to announce to everyone how asinine the suggestion truly is. Let's keep science scientific.
