The modern institution of "science" has become a religious authority

The modern institution of "science" has become a religious authority.
The dogma of "science" is occurring widely across every academic field, in every scientific journal and every scientific institution, where is is passed off as real science.

Think about theoretical physics. You had things like relativity, quantum electrodynamics and uncertainty emerge around 100 years ago. Within 25 years, these theories yielded products that produced more energy and human agency than the entirety of human civilization on Earth.

What has theoretical physics achieved in the last 50 years, when string theory came onto the scene? Literally nothing, and at immense cost and intellectual investment. We've barricaded theoretical physics (which is provably the single field with the greatest influence on mankind period, because it enabled advanced medicine, cheap energy and nuclear weapons) behind a completely pretentious notion of string theory. This wouldn't be an issue if string theorists didn't actively hunt and suppress literally all over avenues of theoretical physics in an extremely autocratic way.

Take for example what theoretical physics did to the USSR. In 1940, the peak of available Soviet technology was the ox-drawn hoe. It was the largest labor multiplier available across all of Russia. By 1950, the USSR had nuclear fission. It's so easy to forget how physics catapulted mankind into an entirely new paradigm of existence that would be regarded as impossible by all humans who came before.

We know modern science is being treated like a religion because we can see the change in focus from technology and civilizational progress to answering the same questions all religions seek to answer; to explain the nature, purpose and inception/fate of the universe. The largest scientific projects of the 21st century like the LHC and JWST do not benefit us in any way. All they do is provide half-truths about the ideology of science; where the universe came from, where it's going, and why. The big bang, entropy, heat death. The new religion that helps nobody and only creates more questions that will never truly be answered but will always garnish more spending and wasted effort.

Technology's pace has only increased. The pace of innovation, the amount of funds and intellectual resources have multiplied exponentially. Yet here we are, relying on the exact same technologies we were using in 1910; internal combustion, insulated wire, invasive surgery and vaccination.
This is absolutely not an organic occurrence. Science has been dogmatically manipulated and controlled. It is a religious authority.

Jews gatekeep science the way Catholics did in Galileo's time. Science has been twisted to advance Tikkun Olam.

String theory has been dead for 20 years, before DEI ruined universities and the collective IQ of higher education went down 29%

anyone who has to put the word science in inverted commas clearly has no understanding of scientific method, or how it functions.

You're 3 decades too late to get people to give a fuck.

I'm not the one misinterpreting the word. That's the point of using quotations.

The big bang theory and the concept of universal expansion and universal entropy is not a result of the scientific method. It supposes its own precepts.

Probably the only thing that everyone actually cares about is how technological development will change their lifestyle. You can see that in the microcosm of consumer behavior or the macrocosm of the few civilizational goals we have and how they dominate our public discussions. E.g. the designation of Mars as an earth like environment demanding discovery of life on Mars and its eventual colonization.

So no, all your reply does is demonstrate you have a nihilistic perspective and seek to project that on others when it's clearly untrue.

checked

Physics as a whole has been sidelined for much, much longer. It started when aether theory was 'disproven' with obviously flawed methodology. And it was accelerated by the shrine of secrecy erected around simple particle physics resulting from nuclear tech.

The human cost is immense. We're literally 80-100 years behind where we should be, and are feeling all of the consequences of being drip fed civilization-transforming technologies.

bump

I'm not sure how to convince you otherwise. There's simply no reason for you to think what you do besides some otherwise misguided sense that you know better.
The only people who think that are usually religious themselves.
What you do believe in are theories which were debunked because they were literally based around religious presuppositions, so it's odd that you're projecting that issue onto other fields, like the big bang, which is not really debatable anymore, of evolution, which isn't debatable, no one asks "is evolution occurring" anymore, they continue to see evidence of it every time they study anything else.

String theory has been dead for 20 years

This is somehow evidence science is failing?

String theory stopped being in the mainstream of high energy particle physics because so many competing theories better explain our observations. The superstring revolution was the 1980s, dude. Are you telling me that you missed that?
It's been dead for 20 years the same way that the iron-lung has been dead for 20 years. We still use it (in pure mathematics and mathematical physics) but it's not needed for anything anymore, because the core problem it was trying to solve isn't necessarily solveable with it.
String theory is far too broad, and has no unified definition, so it was never going to go anywhere.
The problems with science you're trying to bring attention to are EPITOMIZED by string theory, as it was clearly a waste of resources to continue research in the field, but highly competitive theoretical physics grants lend themselves to the only kid on the block with any skin in the game, there was and remains no alternative to string theory as a unified theory of everything, but it doesn't succeed at that goal even remotely, because it can't, bar some insane changes to what it even is.
It was damaging to fundamental physics when those grants were always hitting string theory studies instead of practical physics studies.

Basically, idk how you learned anything or gained any of these opinions, they're completely antithetical to reality.

because so many competing theories better explain our observations

string theory has zero corroborating experiments that have been performed, they claim it exists based on the math alone

Look at the babblings of a retard

Opening your reply with a declaration that I'm somehow too close minded to be "convinced" of something is extremely indicative of a bad faith argument. I digress.

There's simply no reason for you to think what you do

Just to be clear, the OP's thesis is very simple and gives examples. So regardless of whether we're in agreement or not, there is 100% a "reason." This is a failure of logic on your part.
This type of reply tells me you are not actually interacting with what I'm saying since the logical process you're using failed to address the premise.

the big bang, which is not really debatable anymore, of evolution, which isn't debatable

This is absolutely made up rhetoric on your part and underscores my point about using cosmogenic and cosmological models as a substitute for religion.
The big bang has been redefined heavily as a result of debate in recent decades, with its assumptions from mere years ago thrown out the window. The model will be revised again because science does not ever claim to have the truth.
Suggesting you cannot debate the big bang is exactly the reason I'm saying the concept is being used as a religious tenet. The entire function of science is to provide explanations that are flawed so that more explanations can be discovered. Everything is partially wrong, everything can be debated.

Your statement begins to err on the side of absurdity when you bring up evolution since the most basic assumptions of darwinian evolution were outmoded in Darwin's own lifetime and have been successively replaced by increasingly complex theories that are fundamentally opposed with the concept of evolution that was accepted as fact less than a decade ago. The reality is that evolution is much more complex than we think and derives factors that evolutionary science has or still does reject in whole or in part.

The contemporary definition of "religion" is that which seeks to explain the nature, purpose and inception/end of the universe.

libs be like

Commies KGB has stolen German scientists from after ww2 from Germany

This is entirely accurate. Science must be abolished. It is in religion that we must place our trust. Science has brought us only misery, while religion brings hope and everything that makes life worth living. This world is God's.

String theory stopped being in the mainstream of high energy particle physics because so many competing theories better explain our observations

Yet you cannot example any of those "competing theories."

there was and remains no alternative to string theory as a unified theory

And then you immediately contradict yourself. Extremely poor logical framing.

If string theory worked, it would be the physics that allowed technology like manipulating gravitation and the nuclear forces, quantum energy sources, teleportation and communication across all types of horizon-like structures.
All of these things should be possible since we see enough evidence in nature and the lab for the transient phenomenon that describes their mechanisms. Our only obstacle is a working theory that can be reproduced in the lab.
String theory is not just a 'mistake' it is a coordinated attempt to falsify and confuse the world of physics. The exact same thing has happened several times in history already, and each time the reason it happens is a matter of conflict between authorities that control perception of religious and existential ideals and the physics that threatens them.

religion brings hope and everything that makes life worth living.

religion brought us indoor plumbing, electricity, the internet, music, vidya, and porn?

So did the U.S.

Religious commandments directly address matters of physical and spiritual hygiene. Avoid pork because of parasites. Wash yourself in water.
So yes, religion is directly responsible for the legalist interpretations of things like hygiene and social contracts that underpin all civilizations.

Electricity was discovered by a man whose entire life was predicated on and dedicated to creating an entire new nation and form of government based on the ideal of free religious belief that allowed science to integrate with faith.

Music is purely derived from the harmonic systems described in literally all religious texts. The development of musical systems in the ancient world was considered a holy endeavor and we still use all of these systems to this day.

Contemporary technological advents like the internet and its media niches are directly mirrored by cautionary tales in religious doctrine. The idea of "seeing without eyes" and "hearing without ears" and other so-called demonic attributes are literal descriptions of technologies humans are clearly attracted to.

Logic.

We've had the solution for a long time. It's not getting rid of science, it's balancing the purpose of these frameworks we structure our civilization around.

Faggots like you are why I stopped respecting religion.

I have literally 0 attachment to any theological system. I use logic to look at history.

Do you have any logical counter to my large number of points or are you here purely to voice your feelings?

Avoid pork because of parasites. Wash yourself in water.

right, by making up stories to lie to people to get them to behave a certain way, like you do with children, not adults

Music is purely derived from the harmonic systems described in literally all religious texts

who gives a shit if they wrote about it in their books? they didn't invent it, they don't own it, people also wrote about it and made music outside of religion

Logic

lmfao

And you are doomed to hell, and it is our holy duty to arrange your trip.

You're insinuating the Egyptian pantheon which codified the deities who became the judeo-christian icons understood that things like parasites and bacteria existed. They didn't. They only knew their symptoms and how to avoid them-- by washing yourself and your food, by avoiding pork.

Without the functional nature of religious ideals, the concept of law wouldn't exist and by extension any social contractual actions like hygiene or morality would not exist in a codified form.

their books

The observations of planetary motion was the inspiration for musical systems. These observations were codified in religious text along with other important scientific knowledge like mathematics and physics.
You simply lack the context to understand how deeply human concepts run in history and thus theology.

You would do well to research what the word "religious" actually means and how it came to be. This word does not mean what you assume it means in your modern context.

understood that things like parasites and bacteria existed.

I'm not insinuating that at all, you don't have to know those things exist to understand cause and effect
germ theory came very recently in human history, but we still knew people got sick, are you fucking retarded?

the concept of law wouldn't exist

another lie, Code of Hammurabi

you don't need religion to create laws against stealing and murder

Yes you do. It's only religion, and the fear of righteous punishment, that keeps people's baser instincts in check.

making up stories to lie to people to get them to behave a certain way

Is not a logical reply to my point that hygiene emerges from the social contract of civilization which is the exact teaching of religion. You continue to sidestep, so we'll move along.

another lie

You haven't accused me of lying at any other point so the assertion is incorrect by your own action.

The Code of Hammurabi was syncretized by the Egyptians' pantheon, this is something historians discuss. It became the Mosaic Laws, which were rewritten as Moses' Laws You are proving my point for me.
I don't think you understand that in the ancient world the worldview we call "religion" in academia was not a real thing. The so-called religions people had motivated all aspects of their thought and action, and were used as patterns from which all aspects of culture emerged. You see the same kind of evolution of religious ideas in all cultures; look at how all civilizations use religious symbols in the city planning and constructions they pursue.

The real interest is in the fact that the symbols and teachings common to all beliefs share a core set of concepts that set a species on a trajectory to become an agent in the cosmos. These symbols are based on observation, science, philosophy, faith as well as daily life and physical reality or physics. In other words, the symbols we're talking about appear in nature, in man and in man's ideals and beliefs simultaneously. This is a truly fascinating thing to contemplate.

and the fear of righteous punishment

laws that put you to death for murder, or cut of your hands for stealing work pretty well, you don't need a vague and ominous threat of a god, the very real and practical laws of immediate punishment work better

hygiene emerges from the social contract of civilization

that's not where hygine comes from, look at the slums in any country in the world

You haven't accused me of lying at any other point so the assertion is incorrect by your own action

this is a waste of time, not even reading the rest, it's too hard to tell if you're being retarded on purpose, or if you're just this dumb, neither would surprise me, and it doesn't matter either way

Social sciences have been captured by the left and turned into dogma. So yes, half of "science" is in fact bunk garbage being pushed as propaganda.

Hard sciences are still ok, but they are plagued with thirdies pushing shit papers claiming they discovered the next best thing - shit like room temp superconductors, etc. So there is a lot of false hard science being pushed about in news, and AI is NOT helping this mess. HOWEVER, tech is still being pushed - optical/quantum computing is catching up to current semi-conductor computing, and eventually we are gonna make that swap over. Also ICE is being (slowly) replaced with batteries and electric motors: cars, power tools, mowers, etc. Solar is still stuck at 25% though without getting into niche expensive shit for specific niche purposes.

Big pharma is fucked though, Jews run that shit for treatments over cures. It's a captured asset.

Surgery has actually vastly improved, many things are small incisions and involve fancy robo shit. Not all things can be done this way though, they still need to rip you open to do organ transplants for example.

describes biblical punishments

The idea of an intelligence behind reality leads to the consequence of morals not the other way around. How often do you see morality in nature? Scriptures say that morality is a teaching, not an instinct. And this is true in everyone's life; you have to learn and be taught what the limits are in society because it's not just about your survival.

You don't need to consciously read what I typed anon, your subconscious has already digested and internalized it in seconds. Good luck out there.
