“Scientific realism in classical (i.e. pre-quantum) physics has remained compatible with the naive realism of everyday thinking on the whole; whereas it has proven impossible to find any consistent way to visualize the world underlying quantum theory in terms of our pictures in the everyday world. The general conclusion is that in quantum theory naive realism, although necessary at the level of observations, fails at the microscopic level.” ThinkingWorldWayWholeTermLevelsImpossibleFailingTheoryEverydayPhysicsConclusionObservationConsistentQuantumRealismProvenNaiveQuantum PhysicsCompatibleQuantum Theory Author:Ravi Gomatam
“Newton's theory is not 'not right', it just does not cover all distances. Contrary to popular belief, theories in science are not proven wrong, they are just replaced by more complete and convenient theories. To sound provocative, even the geocentric theory was never "proven" wrong, it is just not as convenient as the heliocentric theory, since it requires endless epicycles.” DoeScienceBeliefSoundTheoryMathematicsDistanceContraryEndlessReplacedProvenConvenientNewtonProvocativeContrary To Popular BeliefProven Wrong Author:Nathan Seiberg

“Most of Marx's predictions have failed to materialize, and his labor theory of value and other ideas have been proven wrong. Marx failed to recognize the incentive system built into the capitalist model - consumer choice and the profit motive of the entrepreneur. The irony is that capitalism, not socialism or Marxism, that has liberated the worker from the chains of poverty, monopoly, war, and oppression, and has better achieved Marx's vision of a millennium of hope, peace, abundance, leisure, and aesthetic expression for the 'full' human being.” HumansHas BeensIdeasWarValuesChoicesHuman BeingsVisionPovertyExpressionTheoryModelsCapitalismBuiltLaborEntrepreneurWorkersProfitSocialismOppressionChainsConsumersIronyMotiveAbundanceAestheticCapitalistLeisureProvenPredictionsIncentivesMonopolyMarxismLiberatedMillenniumProfit MotiveProven WrongConsumer Choice Author:Mark Skousen
