What I mean is that we all need logic and the use of logic in science endeavor and especially in discovering a new theory of science. We cannot be doing science without logic, without rational thinking. When a scientist becomes irrational and illogical, they cease being scientists. In the history of physics let me note two examples which points to favoring the superdeterminism mechanism. The example of Michelson in the Michelson Morley famous experiment to determine the motion of the luminiferous aether. After Michelson published the null result, he never seemed to be logical and rational about his work and continued to repeat the experiment thinking to find the aether. And another example is Einstein who in the beginning of the Quantum Revolution was a key discoverer of the photoelectric effect, but in his middle and old age rebuked the Quantum Mechanics and was never able to accept any of it, even after Bohr ironed out all his objections. In an Atom Totality with superdeterminism, the fate of a scientist is predetermined at birth and once those items are finished, one can say the electricity of science discovery has been unplugged and the person can thence be rather unscientific or even antiscience. In a Big Bang/ Darwin evolution as the engine of science discovery, what allows the scientist to make the discovery is the logic and rational thinking that gets him/her to the finish line, so it would be difficult to understand how in this framework, a scientist becomes almost instantly antilogical, antiscience, antirational. Michelson and Einstein are two examples and I am sure there are plenty more. Now some will argue that perhaps disease or aging causes delusions and causes the antiscience or antilogic to develop after their famous contribution. That maybe a explanation of a few scientists but in the case of Michelson and Einstein, it is a case of being logical and rational up to the moment of their discoveries and soon afterwards a falling off into irrational, illogical and antiscience. Now I do not know enough of the history of Edison, but there was a episode in his life where he became irrational and illogical by attacking AC current and Tesla. I do not know if Edison ever discovered anything more after this attack on Tesla, but he seems to have become antiscience in attacking Tesla. So these examples suggest that the Superdeterminism is the more likely mechanism of discovery in science, because we are predetermined to do what was fated, and once accomplished, we, like some wound up robot puppet can radically veer off into illogic and antiscience. If Darwin evoluton were the mechanism, we would have been so pavlov dog trained to do logical things and rational things that we would not veer off course so drastically. I am not going to make some big issue out of this, but only to cite some observations.

Those irrational and illogical beings are better known as crackpots. Welcome aboard! |
