In relation to the physicist analogy, isn't there in this case a lot of other physicists saying that they saw similar things?

- fleitz 17y agoScience is not a democracy. It's a method for deriving knowledge from observation. We need the observations to evaluate the conclusions, not a bunch of hearsay. If other scientists are seeing the same things they should provide the data and methodology so that it can be evaluated independently.
- cromulent 17y agoThat's true - science is a method for deriving knowledge from observation. So, if many scientists are observing, one scientists' secrecy and falsification does not make the other findings "worthless".
