THE COLLAPSE AND DEATH OF MODERN SCIENCE


You may think that "modern science" is alive and well, but it is not.
Over the last 40, or more, years, science has been eating the
forbidden fruit, poisoning itself and our world. When it becomes
obvious that "Science" cannot solve the distressing problems
threatening our world, it will also be obvious that Science is a sick,
dying puppy.

Scientists are responsible for the pollution and contamination of our
ecosystem, the poisoning of our rivers, lakes and seas. Our drinking
water is becoming contaminated, and soon will be undrinkable. Modern
scientists will not be able to re-purify what they have contaminated,
and so even scientist will be drinking dirty water.

Scientists are responsible for the contaminated atmosphere, the
polluted air and acid rain -- the air in some cities is not
breathable. This dirty air is involved in the problem known as "Global
Warming." Scientists are unable to clean the air, prevent or control
Global Warming, and so scientists will have to breathe the dirty air
and suffer the unseasonable weather.

The lakes and seas; contaminated and poisoned by modern science, will
begin to die. Fish and animals living in the sea will die too. Modern
scientists will not be able to save the seas, or the fish, and so even
scientists will eat contaminated, dying fish, or go hungry.

Overpopulation: Science cannot control the birth rate, nor can science
satisfy the demand for more food. Available productive farmland is
dwindling every year, and Scientists cannot perform 'miracles' to feed
the starving. This problem will become catastrophic when the food
supply from the seas fails and worldwide drought begins.

Energy Production: Oil supplies will soon begin to fail, and as the
supply falters, the price will rise. This will soon become a mad dog
chasing its tail, with supply failing faster and prices rising faster
still. Scientists cannot replace oil, so scientists will go home to a
dark house.

Scientists will soon learn the "renewable or alternate energy sources"
will not replace the loss of oil. Oh, there certainly will be a
struggle -- they will not give up easily -- but they will fail none-
the-less. Radio and Television Stations will begin to go off the air.
Newspapers and magazines will go out of print. The lights will go out
and scientists will sit together and watch each others eyes disappear
into the darkness.

Space: There has been a lot of fanfare about the Colonization of the
moon, then Mars. But there is no truth in this science fiction pipe
dream, and when the truth is finally out of the bag, all the
scientists who have been laboring on this false hope will be looking
for other employment.

In every field of endeavor, science has been eating forbidden fruit.
When each field runs out of options; when there is no further
reasonable expectation that science can solve the ills it has brought
on this world, scientists will be sent home to look for honest
employment.

Modern Science is dying, and its death will not be an easy or pretty
thing to behold, nor will Science die alone.

That's it.  I'm giving up technology and moving to a cave in a dead sea
somewhere to wait for the end of civilization as we know it.  Thank you for
the heads-up!

Hi
The help file of a Networked Science program might help you in solving these
problems ;)
Or this would be even a better place,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_method to continue the debate.

I would disagree. It has little or nothing to do with scientific advances.
If we want to avoid ruining this planet we need to move away from the
'beancounter culture' which dictates overproduction and overconsumption for
everyone.

A key concern for the near future is that if every one of Asia's
billion-plus people wanted to have the same level of energy and raw-material
usage as Americans, that would bankrupt the planet's energy-reserves in one
fell swoop. Yet, why should they desire or aim-for anything less, especially
in a world where conspicuous consumption is seen as a status symbol?

Scientific advances have in fact softened the impact of the 'beancounter
society' on the environment. Imagine  if we all had our own personal steam
locomotive, what color would the city buildings be, and would it even be
possible to breathe on the streets without an oxygen backpack? ?
