We know the straw people exist, we just ignore their comments on
science because they don't have brains.

Oh, they are out there.
Straw people are especially interested in calling science into doubt.
They don't believe in science because science precludes the belief in
people made of straw.

My favorite example is the car with a bb gun attached to it:
* with the car stationary you fire a bb at a target 100' away. Let's say it
takes 1 second to reach the target.
* with the car moving at 50'/sec you fire a bb at the target after 1sec. To
make it easy we'd all agree that the bb wil
The plot thickens as the proposed revised experiment yields the same results:

explaining the data than the existing theory then why accept it? In
this case the GPS theory makes a lot of sense. Its suggesting that

The scientific community has never resisted change. They're objective, yo!
The issue is scientists can be dogmatic, and "true believers" too
(sort of the flip of what you are saying, no?).
There are no real "facts", right? And yet you'll hear learned
individuals say such tripe as "you cannot g
Maybe but the issue is that despite all the massive amounts of
evidence against it, the true believer dismisses such as a conspiracy
or other some bit of crud.
As for the sound barrier, that wasn't so much of a scientific one as
an engineering effort. What was needed was the design of a wing that

If you remember what happened with palladium based fusion, there will
be some true believers who will try and push it in spite of the

Looks like they think they figured this one out... "The relativistic
motion of clocks on board GPS satellites exactly accounts for the
superluminal effect, says physicist"
