From: Archimedes Plutonium on 11 Jun 2010 15:43 Well I really do not much care of the socialization of a theory of science. In some cases the public social acceptance of a science truth may take milleniums as for the case of heliocentric versus geocentric solar system. For me personally, to know the truth of what is true and what is false is enough satisfaction, and whether the "other persons" do not know the truth, but clings to a falsehood is alright by me, for to expect everyone to know and accept the truth of the world is rather a misguided notion in itself. The finest example of socialized science is the Atomic theory itself starting way back with Leucippus, Democritus and others. Science truth is known and accepted by a few persons, and this small group grows in numbers and strength through time until finally the entire social network for the most part understands and accepts the truth. It took approximately two milleniums for the social network to accept what Democritus knew full well back in Ancient Greek times. It took not quite two milleniums to accept a round and revolving Earth in the heliocentric system. There were probably vast holdouts of believers until many of the sailors circumnavigated the globe. For Wegener and Continental Drift, most rational commonsense people did not need a seafloor spreading nor a mechanism for seafloor spreading to be convinced that the continents of Earth had moved in the past and were moving in the present. The evidence was piling up and was pointing to the truth of Continental Drift. Likewise for the Atom Totality theory, where the evidence is piling up and eliminating the Big Bang theory. For me, the fact of the observational and experimental evidence of a Blackbody Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation implies the Cosmos is a quantum cavity. There is only one such entity that is quantum cavity-- the interior of an atom. The Cosmos is one big atom is the conclusion of the Blackbody Microwave. To most rational, reasonable commonsense people, whether they are scientists or not scientists, is enough of a deciding evidence to understand and accept the Atom Totality theory and dismiss the Big Bang theory. But there are many within the science community that have more of an irrational mind of science rather than a rational science mind. They have invested their time into the Big Bang theory and are not about to admit that they were ever wrong about their lifetime of belief in a false theory. For them it may take much more than the simple fact of a Blackbody Microwave. For them they would require a proof of the Dirac New-Radioactivities that creates each successive Atom Totality from Hydrogen Atom Totality to Helium Atom Totality all the way up to a Plutonium Atom Totality. Just as there were many geologists who would not accept Continental Drift until they saw a mechanism in action such as the seafloor spreading. Some were even unconvinced after the reports of the Atlantic Ocean seafloor spreading mapps were shown. So in the case of the Atom Totality theory, many in the science community are going to hold fast to their Big Bang even though we have Blackbody Microwave. They will ignore it, for they spent all their lifetime in science invested with the Big Bang. They are not going to be rational and commonsense about the evidence. To them, they need not only the Blackbody Microwave but they need the Dirac "new-radioactivities" where the cosmic rays and cosmic gamma ray bursts are newly created matter shot from the Nucleus of the Atom Totality. Dirac talks extensively about "new radioactivities" in his book "Directions in Physics." For me, the story is over with and ended as far as the truth of the Atom Totality and the fakery of the Big Bang. The story is over with because a Blackbody Microwave is the end of the story as to a proof of the Atom Totality. But for most people, including those in science, they let their sentiment rule their life's thinking and do not have the control of their minds to let logic rule their thinking. To them, Blackbody Microwave is not enough, and they need much more, for they need proof of Dirac's new radioactivities. When I went to college in 1968 to UC and in my freshman year I took a course in geology and the professor at UC apologized about the textbook, saying that it had little information about the debate of Continental Drift versus Static Earth. So we can see how "snail crawling slow is a science community in accepting what is true and dismissing what is false." Acceptance of the true theory of a science moves as slowly as what Continental Drift moves continents. Most of us have the misconception that in science, a true theory replaces the old fake theory at some breakneck speed. In come the new true theory and out goes the old false within a crisp short time. Unfortunately that is rarely if ever the case. Old fake theories seem to have a life of their own. And they remain active false theories until the general public insists that scientists label them as "false theories" within the textbooks. So when do we get rid of fakes like Big Bang, like black-holes? Not until we see in college textbooks printed that the Big Bang is a fake or that black-holes were the misconceptions of scientists of the 20th and 21st century. Only when the general public expects the textbook writers to state that the Big Bang is a false theory and that black- holes were merely chimeras in the minds of past scientists. When I took the geology course in 1968, there was a debate of whether Continental Drift or Static Earth was true. And my textbook barely covered the two theories. Nowadays the textbooks state, or imply, that Static Earth is a false theory, if they even mention it at all. False theories of science are usually found in the history of geology or the history of physics.
