“But although in theory physicists realize that their conclusions are ... not certainly true, this ... does not really sink into their consciousness. Nearly all the time ... they ... act as if Science were indisputably True, and what's more, as if only science were true.... Any information obtained otherwise than by the scientific method, although it may be true, the scientists will call "unscientific," using this word as a smear word, by bringing in the connotation from its original [Greek] meaning, to imply that the information is false, or at any rate slightly phony.” IfsMayDoeScienceRealizingConsciousnessInformationTheoryScientistOriginalsMethodRateConclusionBeing TrueGreekPhysicistPhonyScientific MethodConnotation Author:Anthony Standen
