New Discovery Disproves Quantum Theory?
An anonymous reader writes to tell us the Guardian is running a story that has quite a few physicists up in arms. From the article: "Randell Mills, a Harvard University medic who also studied electrical engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, claims to have built a prototype power source that generates up to 1,000 times more heat than conventional fuel. Independent scientists claim to have verified the experiments and Dr Mills says that his company, Blacklight Power, has tens of millions of dollars in investment lined up to bring the idea to market. And he claims to be just months away from unveiling his creation." The only problem is Mills' theory is supposed to be impossible when using current rules of quantum mechanics.
The difference is that ID isn't science. By the two tests: is it disprovable? Do scientists think it is science? ID fails both. So yeah, teach ID in schools if you like, just teach it in something other than the science classroom.
How we know is more important than what we know.
i think what you've said lends them a little more credibility. but that still doesn't explain why a website about 'science' requires a macromedia flash plugin.
