We see this again and again. “Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.”
But no answer on the following: How to get said extraordinary evidence when derision effectively kills any funding or collaboration?
Fringe claims rightly needs to be looked at skeptically, but it’s not science if experiments and analysis can’t happen.
- ncmncm 6y ago"Extraordinary evidence" nowadays means "evidence you will be prevented from obtaining, or that you have but we will refuse to read". Predictable, really. All a claim needs to be "extraordinary" is to provoke uncomfortable questions, such as would require some tenured professor to learn a new skill. Even direct observations can be extraordinary, now.
