The Scientific Method says things like, "one disproof and the theory is gone."
However, from observation, the Ivory Tower Hierophants give a pass to the IN theories, and the OUT theories are swept aside without any real trial given to them.
The Theory of Gravity has the most flimsy evidence for it, but it still is upheld as THE theory. And many better theories, backed by decades of observation are swept under the rug.
The Michelson-Morley "experiment" was barely an experiment. They found something, then called in nothing. But, it is held up as THE reason the luminiferous aether doesn't exist. On the other side, there is so much evidence that the Aether exists, but none of it is given any purchase.
The "Laws" of Thermodynamics have never been proven, and when deeply analyzed are more like guidelines and not a law. And, even with several perpetual motion devices, that continue to spin, this "Law" is upheld, and all those pesky over unity devices, and those perpetual motion machines are ignored. Without evidence, they are dismissed as fraud or bad readings.
It is not that science marches forward one death at a time, but that there is an organization that is hell bent on keeping mankind away from the truth and paying the utility companies.
Luminiferous Aether
The entire study of the luminiferous aether is discarded, swept under the rug. A 100 years ago, people, scientists were doing all kinds of experiments to discover all the facets about the aether.
But, two "scientists", did an "experiment" and announced, with all the ivory tower hierophants behind them, that the aether doesn't exist.
The Michelson-Morley "experiment" had barely the minimum number of readings done to be called an experiment. And, they found SOMETHING and called it nothing. It only tested one model of the aether, but summarily was said to disprove them all.
What kind of science is this???
The truth is that the apparatus that M-M used was found to give different readings and different elevations.
That the small readings that M-M did get are actually VERY meaningful, and show that the aether DOES EXIST. And there are so many newer aether theories that explain so much of the observations that is a crime against humanity to discard all the evidence, in order to maintain the conclusion that M-M offered.
Laws of Thermodynamics
Imagine being told that over-unity devices cannot exist, and then seeing many over-unity devices. Still, the Ivory Tower starts that over-unity devices cannot exist.
Imagine being told that perpetual motion devices cannot exist, and then seeing many perpetual motion devices.
But, you are a bad scientists, who needs to be black-balled, if you believe your eyes.
There is too much energy in the universe. And so, the ivory tower came up with "dark energy". Energy that exists that cannot be measured/found. What kind of shenanigans is this? If any other "Law" was so flimsy, with evidence that says, just believe us, it would be laughed out of academia.
Gravity based on mass
The Theory of Relativity has books telling how it fails. However, the ivory tower hierophants state that it is "proven", with the flimsiest evidence. If you made up a theory with such flimsy evidence, you would just be laughed out of the college. But, it is literally gospel.
Vera Rubins made observations of galaxies for over a decade, and discovered that galaxies spin all as one, like the stars were glued to a plate. This disproves the idea that gravity is what makes the galaxy rotate without flying apart. But no! the disproof was not allowed. They came up with "dark matter". Something that can't be detected, but provides the "more" gravity to maintain the "theory".
Further, the speed of light was measured to be changing. The ivory towered hierophants fixed this by FIXING the speed of light. Literally, the stopped measuring it, and scientists now use up a made up, and set number. I ask you, is this actual science?
There is a group that seems hell-bent on keeping us in the dark ages. Einstein is dead. Michelson & Morley are dead. If science moved forward one death at a time, why can we burst through these obvious blockades?
The ivory towers are going to crumble. The next generation of scientists are going to have to redo everything. All the science reported in the last century, will need to be rolled back and retested.
The thing about truth is that you can't get rid of it with a lie, it is still the truth. And it will be discovered again. And when we do, so much faith in "science" is going to be lost. Something like, "real scientists do not go to university" or "if the evidence didn't come out of a garage, it is sus"
It is such a sad state of affairs that the thing that is known for "truth" is built on lies.
