So was Newton. But throughout history, scientific experts have almost always been a lot closer to reality than non-experts, although any self respecting scientist will never claim to be exactly right - all science is simply the closest approximation to reality, based on observed data, that we have been able to reach to date. More or better data can be expected to modify our view of reality.

But this does not mean that a paper published by a qualified expert using largely faked data to support a preconceived view of reality is "more or better data".

(This description pretty much applies to both the basis for the idea that vaccines are associated with autism and the basis for treating covid with horse worming compound!)

What did Einstein get wrong?

Probably his wedding anniversary or his wife's birthday.

Spooky action at a distance. Although it's not that he was demonstrably wrong, it's just he was convinced there must be some other action at play because it all sounded implausible. So suppose in a way he was wrong in thinking he was wrong.

Now I'm all confused.

Thanks, JD. I was a little tongue-in-cheek with this and thinking more along the lines of "Flat Earth" and "Earth Centre of the Universe" stuff.

Remind me Quag, in which field of medicine are you trained?

Bill Gates has enough medical training to qualify him to provide money to allow highly qualified medical staff to use proven treatments. They make the medical decisions. He just provides the funds.

Remind me, what are you doing with your medical training?

Love Mr Es work. He was confused as why the normal laws of physic could be proven to not be true in Quantum Entanglement! His mate simplified it from Neutrons to a very famous cat in a letter to Mr E!

Schroders cat A wikki link - most would have heard of the cat in physics and like everyone be baffled by what is known to be true but almost impossible to understand. Impossible and possible- Understandably Baffled the best!

Speed of light is the fastest possible speed is busted by a provable aspect of quantum physics Baffles me to- its impossible but not

"The speed of light in vacuum, commonly denoted c, is a universal physical constant that is exactly equal to 299,792,458 metres per second (approximately 300,000 kilometres per second; 186,000 miles per second; 671 million miles per hour)."


"we know that the interaction between entangled quantum particles is faster than the speed of light. In fact, Chinese physicists have measured the speed. We know that quantum entanglement can be used to realize quantum teleportation experimentally."
