Real science is dead, and the main reason is that professional researchers are not even trying to seek the truth and speak the truth; and the reason for this is that professional ‘scientists’ no longer believe in the truth - no longer believe that there is an eternal unchanging reality beyond human wishes and organization which they have a duty to seek and proclaim to the best of their (naturally limited) abilities. Hence the vast structures of personnel and resources that constitute modern ‘science’ are not real science but instead merely a professional research bureaucracy, thus fake or pseudo-science; regulated by peer review (that is, committee opinion) rather than the search-for and service-to reality. Among the consequences are that modern publications in the research literature must be assumed to be worthless or misleading and should always be ignored. In practice, this means that nearly all ‘science’ needs to be demolished (or allowed to collapse) and real science carefully rebuilt outside the professional research structure, from the ground up, by real scientists who regard truth-seeking as an imperative and truthfulness as an iron law.

Atoms are too small to effectively image with visible light. However it might be possible with something like
>>14109483 There would still be a problem in that the atom or atoms would look very different with different wavelengths. To say something has a color, you need to view it with white or other composite visible light, but this would probably result in some kind of blurred-out garbage.

Starting my course in one week. I'll be attending a nearby community college and will transfer to a 4-year university. Right now I just reading through textbook pdfs for Mathematics. Calculus, Linear Algebra, Differential Equations, Algebra etc. Anyway the school has decided to do this semester on Zoom. I don't know if it will have an effect on content quality, it might.

>>14111597 It shouldn't, if you're serious about being a math major then you would already be working through syllabus' of all of your math courses and be several sections ahead of the lecture. Much of the progression in your degree will come from yourself.

I can't distinguish numbers larger than 3

How can you even tell .......... from .............. without dividing them up in groups of three????

Now that I think of it that way, I can maybe immediately see 6 or 7, but above that is just "many". For example your post seems to have 10-20 words (after counting: i see it's 26 which sort of proves my point, and yours) Nice thread because it made me think of something I didn't think of before. Your reward is a nice image of a kitten
