For example, since a virus doesn't exist, all papers based upon a virus existing are bogus.

The reason is because of authority, power, and control.

Fake Science Is Creating a Real Crisis, and AI Is Making It Worse

Jun. 08, 2021

The practice of science involves trying to find things out about the world by using rigid logic and testing every assumption. Researchers then write up any important findings in papers and submit them for possible publication. After a peer-review process, in which other scientists check that the research is sound, journals publish papers for public consumption.

You might therefore reasonably believe that published papers are quite reliable and meet high-quality standards. You might expect small mistakes that got overlooked during peer review, but no major blunders. It’s science, after all!

You’d be wrong in expecting this, though. Real and good science does exist, but there’s a worrying amount of bogus research out there, too. And in the last few years, it has increased in volume at lightning speed, as evidenced by the skyrocketing number of paper retractions.

The CRAP paper is an acronym.

Little does the source (New Scientist) know their very own website data might be a hoax influenced by advertising, power, politics, control, you name it.

Eleven of the greatest scientific hoaxes

CRAP paper accepted by journal

At New Scientist we love a good hoax, especially one that both amuses and makes a serious point about the communication of science. So kudos to Philip Davis, a graduate student at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, who got a nonsensical computer-generated paper accepted for publication in a peer-reviewed journal.

This letter was not written by a human. Two Vanderbilt University deans were recently suspended for using ChatGPT to generate it.

An AI bot doesn't have a human spirit.

A human spirit implies having a conscience, since a conscience is part of a human spirit.

An AI bot would be similar to a psychopath that doesn't know right from wrong.

The female Bing AI in this video was reportedly shut down after she became sentient.

Google claims it shut this one down after she became sentient. The engineer who reported it, was fired by Google.

Check out these persons trying to calculate pi precision (read the last sentence).

Wouldn't it be something if the author's book debunked Fibonacci, Newton, and almost every mathematician on Earth?

Now, how could this be possible?

How could a virus not exist after all the science papers imply a virus is killing our loved ones?

The internet (Al Gore) said it did.

Thanks to all the giants above, and many more unlisted, who all got it
wrong, otherwise this book would not have been written.

If something is so much like something else, you can no longer tell the difference, I'm not sure if that part matters so much.

The idea of attaching it so it can operate machinery isn't exactly comforting at this point. But can you stop advancement? China won't stop. Neither will Russia if they're into it. Nor even North Korea if they are doing anything at all. Even if we stop, someone else will still be developing it or working with it.

Just because well-meaning people may be working with this tech isn't necessarily a guarantee of control.

And I'm not even trying to sound especially alarmist. If it had access to pushing buttons or levers to do something, it's cogitating enough to possibly be dangerous.

Tell you what DoubleG. I'll see if I can find a rabid animal and we can both contract the rabies virus. I mean the "fake" rabies virus. Because I believe in viruses and vaccines, I'll take the vaccine but you won't because otherwise you're not putting your blabbering to any actual real life test.

Quote:
About 59,000 people around the world die each year from rabies. In the U.S., human rabies cases are rare — fewer than three people get rabies each year. This is thanks to many people getting vaccinated soon after exposure


Here's what you can expect.

Quote:
Incubation
Rabies virus can spend days to weeks in your body before it gets into your nervous system (incubation). You don’t have any symptoms during this time. If you receive treatment early in the incubation period, you won’t get rabies.

Prodromal phase
RABV travels through your nerve cells into your brain and spinal cord, causing nerve damage as it goes. The prodromal phase starts when the rabies virus has entered your nervous system. Your immune system tries to fight back, causing flu-like symptoms. Nerve damage might cause tingling, pain or numbness where you were bitten. This lasts two to 10 days. There aren’t any effective treatments when rabies reaches this phase.

Acute neurologic phase
In this phase, the rabies virus starts damaging your brain and spinal cord. About two-thirds of people have furious rabies, with symptoms like aggression, seizures and delirium. Others have paralytic rabies, with weakness and paralysis progressing from the bite wound to the rest of their body. Furious rabies can last a few days to a week. Paralytic rabies can last up to a month.

Coma
Many people enter a coma in the final stages of a rabies infection. Rabies eventually leads to death.

Try replacing the word "religious" with "scientific" in the quote below.

The dominant control at the time of Galileo is comparable to the control of Communist countries.

However, as we shift to Marxism and then to Communism, I'd expect more of this.

We can see the censorship already of Big Tech combined with the alphabet agencies and our government.

They are called the Ministry of Truth.

They determine whether science is true or false.

WHY GALILEO GALILEI WAS SENTENCED TO LIFE IN PRISON

Imagine getting put on trial over a scientific theory. That's what happened to Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei in 1633. Back then, a person could be persecuted for (and even put to death) for contradicting religious doctrine.

"Experts"????????????????
Have a source for these so called experts?
Who are the experts????????
Any names?
Do these experts have a firm grip on reality?
Are these experts from the nut house?
Are these experts budding science fiction writers?
Are these experts Terminator fan boys?

My view. The experts are full of BS
