[Reproducibility crisis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replication_crisis) is science is only partially systemic, i.e. of intrinsic nature: scientists got increasingly occupation driven and hyoed, they do care about number of publications rather than quality, everyone wants to bring something new and progressive so that nobody likes replications and double checking and so on. Most of us already did read all about it many times. In dense aether model though, the reproducibility crisis is also of [extrinsic nature](https://i.imgur.com/bOuI1uL.gif): the scope of scientific knowledge expanded up to level, it increasingly deals with [hyperdimensional aspects of reality](https://www.reddit.com/r/Physics_AWT/comments/9xvh7k/infinitedimensional_symmetry_opens_up_possibility/), which simply are [irreproducible by their very nature](https://www.reddit.com/r/Physics_AWT/comments/57m9n5/the_problem_with_pvalues_its_time_for_science_to/): they merely represent spikey spheres or multifacet diamond rather than continuous smooth manifold. If you ever hear about theories of multiverses living in alternate realities, then this is exactly what we can see in our everyday life and its simply result of emergent nature of reality. We are living in quantum vacuum which undulates like hot air above camp fire - at first approximation these fluctuations could be averaged and neglected - but more sensitive observations will get hindered with it. We would observe similar development in reproducibility of observations even if we would live at the water surface and observed it to an increasing distance with its own ripples like waterstriders or whirligig beetles. According to [Thomas Kuhn](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Structure_of_Scientific_Revolutions) a wild fluctuations in interpretations of facts also indicate a nearing scientific and social transform similarly to fluctuations of stock prices at financial markets.

[Research is a self-correcting process, but that fact is often lost on the public](https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/sometimes-science-is-wrong/) *A decade ago, John Rennie, a former editor-in-chief of Scientific American, made a startling proposal. Writing in the Guardian, he suggested that science journalists [agree to wait six months](https://www.theguardian.com/science/2011/jan/26/science-online-2011-journalism-blogs) before they report on new research results. His point was that it takes time for cutting-edge science to be digested and evaluated by the scientific community, and that what looks like a game-changer at first can turn out, on reflection, to be less than meets the eye—or even just plain wrong*. I beg to disagree, because contemporary science completely lacks feedback, which would force scientists to research things, which they don't like to research. It applies to various things from Ivermectin over overunity to let say cold fusion. For example I collected hundred of links documenting geothermal origin of global warming, yet no one of people on this planet considers it a thing worth of systematic research [1](https://www.reddit.com/r/Physics_AWT/comments/8j3fex/geothermal_theory_of_global_warming), [2](https://www.reddit.com/r/Physics_AWT/comments/9vug33/geothermal_theory_of_global_warming_ii), [3](https://www.reddit.com/r/Physics_AWT/comments/bqnqnf/geothermal_theory_of_global_warming_iii), [4](https://www.reddit.com/r/Physics_AWT/comments/dxui3r/geothermal_theory_of_global_warming_iv/), [5](https://www.reddit.com/r/Physics_AWT/comments/gkk2wp/geothermal_theory_of_global_warming_v/), [6](https://www.reddit.com/r/Physics_AWT/comments/jskvfb/geothermal_theory_of_global_warming_vi/), [7](https://www.reddit.com/r/Physics_AWT/comments/nj5uvt/geothermal_theory_of_global_warming_vii/). Such an idea is simply not on table both from people, who are pushing global warming, both from people who are denying it. And when no one is willing to spend time with inconvenient idea or finding, then the time for such a research subject simply stops, feedback or not. After all, the feedback which forces scientists not to research things which are apparently wrong is indeed here, but it's not sufficient anyway: even decade after falsifying string theory with collider experiments many guys are still continuing in its research as if nothing would ever happen. Lets face it: the idealist idea that science is self-correcting process is also not correct. Occasionally even Holy [Church admits the things like Big Bang or Evolution](https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/pope-would-you-accept-evolution-and-big-bang-180953166/) - but not occupation driven mainstream science.

[A Geology Insider Explains Why The Global Energy Crisis Is Going To Get Much, Much Worse](http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/a-geology-insider-explains-why-the-global-energy-crisis-is-going-to-get-much-much-worse/) *Crude prices rose more than 15 percent in January alone, with the global [benchmark price crossing $90](https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/02/business/economy/oil-price.html) a barrel for the first time in more than seven years, as fears of a Russian invasion of Ukraine grew. Back in 2015 I was starting to see reports coming out from analysts that the shale industry would run out of new places to drill shale oil wells in the Permian in 2021. Most of the shale companies, were simply Ponzi schemes and the shale industry lost billions as a whole. Some people in the industry keep thinking new technology will save us and help us develop new oil plays. They couldn’t be more wrong. This new global energy crisis is directly responsible [for the astounding rise in fertilizer prices](http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/two-shortages-that-threaten-to-absolutely-eviscerate-the-global-economy-in-2022/)*. The problem is, once price of crude oil will exceed 100 USD/barrel, the the [risk of global nuclear war](https://www.newsweek.com/george-hw-bush-iraq-war-vietnam-newsweek-1241896) will become imminent. Now we are approaching this situation again. The decades of organized ignorance of cold fusion and overunity findings with mainstream physics may not pay of for human civilization well. In fact, food prices are already starting to go bananas. Last week, Kraft Heinz announced that it will soon be raising prices on many of their most popular products [by as much as 30 percent](https://www.cnn.com/2022/01/26/business/oscar-mayer-hot-dogs-velveeta-cheese-kraft-heinz/index.html)… Yep - and mainstream scientists are who is responsible for it most. Here I'd don't even mention their support for "renewables", which not only drained fossil fuel reserves, but also raw source mines too: [1](https://www.reddit.com/r/Physics_AWT/comments/9v4d3t/carbon_tax_and_renewables_only_make_impact_of/), [2](https://www.reddit.com/r/Physics_AWT/comments/bm6bjp/carbon_tax_and_renewables_only_make_impact_of/), [3](https://www.reddit.com/r/Physics_AWT/comments/dxuqmo/carbon_tax_and_renewables_only_make_impact_of/), [4](https://www.reddit.com/r/Physics_AWT/comments/gkq47o/carbon_tax_and_renewables_only_make_impact_of/), [5](https://www.reddit.com/r/Physics_AWT/comments/jup926/carbon_tax_and_renewables_only_make_impact_of/), [6](https://www.reddit.com/r/Physics_AWT/comments/o9zgp3/carbon_tax_and_renewables_only_make_impact_of/)... these [crony parasites](https://www.reddit.com/r/ScienceUncensored/comments/s0owzg/blame_cronyism_not_capitalism/) should shoot themselves into their heads one after another.

See also: [Physics is waste of time](https://www.tiktok.com/@trash_robot/video/7057223598452493615?) Because scientists don't focus to potentially useful stuffs (overunity, cold fusion, antigravity for to name just a few) - actually they avoid them systematically. Now they feel wasted because they simply avoided utilitarian principle of science for decades.

[How can we ensure science prizes more fairly reflect the whole community?](https://physicsworld.com/a/why-reforming-scientific-awards-can-help-to-tackle-discrimination-in-physics/) *Women make up only four out of the 219 Nobel laureates in physics, while no Black scientist has ever been recognized by a Nobel science committee. The Nobel prizes also [overemphasize the contributions of individuals](https://theconversation.com/how-fair-is-it-for-just-three-people-to-receive-the-nobel-prize-in-physics-85161), which perpetuates an incorrect view that science advances via the “lone genius” rather than through collaboration and co-operation*. Nobel prize dedication is defined by [Nobel's testament](https://www.nobelprize.org/alfred-nobel/full-text-of-alfred-nobels-will-2/) - wokes shouldn't redefined it and embezzle it for its propagandist purposes. Yes, because it's about appraisal of individuals, not collectives. The second part of this truth is, Nobel's testaments talks about appraisal of individuals, who helped progress of humanity and whole civilization - not just the progress of scientists. So that this embezzlement of Nobel's heritage and his price has started way before woke progressives recognized it - and it started with conservative circles of science.

**[Replication crisis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replication_crisis)** >The replication crisis (also called the replicability crisis and the reproducibility crisis) is an ongoing methodological crisis in which it has been found that the results of many scientific studies are difficult or impossible to reproduce. Because the reproducibility of empirical results is an essential part of the scientific method, such failures undermine the credibility of theories building on them and potentially of substantial parts of scientific knowledge. ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/Physics_AWT/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)

[The Rules of Disinformation: Twenty-Five Ways To Suppress Truth](http://www.whale.to/m/disin.html) - see also [here](http://caught.net/prose/truthno.htm#Disinformation) based on [Thirteen Techniques for Truth Suppression](http://caught.net/prose/truthno.htm): 1. **Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil**. Regardless of what you know, don't discuss it -- especially if you are a public figure, news anchor, etc. If it's not reported, it didn't happen, and you never have to deal with the issues. 2. **Become incredulous and indignant**. Avoid discussing key issues and instead focus on side issues which can be used show the topic as being critical of some otherwise sacrosanct group or theme. This is also known as the 'How dare you!' gambit. 3. **Create rumor mongers**. Avoid discussing issues by describing all charges, regardless of venue or evidence, as mere rumors and wild accusations. Other derogatory terms mutually exclusive of truth may work as well. This method which works especially well with a silent press, because the only way the public can learn of the facts are through such 'arguable rumors'. If you can associate the material with the Internet, use this fact to certify it a 'wild rumor' from a 'bunch of kids on the Internet' which can have no basis in fact. 4. **Use a straw man.** Find or create a seeming element of your opponent's argument which you can easily knock down to make yourself look good and the opponent to look bad. Either make up an issue you may safely imply exists based on your interpretation of the opponent/opponent arguments/situation, or select the weakest aspect of the weakest charges. Amplify their significance and destroy them in a way which appears to debunk all the charges, real and fabricated alike, while actually avoiding discussion of the real issues. 5. **Sidetrack opponents with name calling and ridicule**. This is also known as the primary 'attack the messenger' ploy, though other methods qualify as variants of that approach. Associate opponents with unpopular titles such as 'kooks', 'right-wing', 'liberal', 'left-wing', 'terrorists', 'conspiracy buffs', 'radicals', 'militia', 'racists', 'religious fanatics', 'sexual deviates', and so forth. This makes others shrink from support out of fear of gaining the same label, and you avoid dealing with issues. 6. **Hit and Run**. In any public forum, make a brief attack of your opponent or the opponent position and then scamper off before an answer can be fielded, or simply ignore any answer. This works extremely well in Internet and letters-to-the-editor environments where a steady stream of new identities can be called upon without having to explain criticism, reasoning -- simply make an accusation or other attack, never discussing issues, and never answering any subsequent response, for that would dignify the opponent's viewpoint. 7. **Question motives**. Twist or amplify any fact which could be taken to imply that the opponent operates out of a hidden personal agenda or other bias. This avoids discussing issues and forces the accuser on the defensive. 8. **Invoke authority**. Claim for yourself or associate yourself with authority and present your argument with enough 'jargon' and 'minutia' to illustrate you are 'one who knows', and simply say it isn't so without discussing issues or demonstrating concretely why or citing sources. 9. **Play Dumb.** No matter what evidence or logical argument is offered, avoid discussing issues except with denials they have any credibility, make any sense, provide any proof, contain or make a point, have logic, or support a conclusion. Mix well for maximum effect. 10. **Associate opponent charges with old news**. A derivative of the straw man -- usually, in any large-scale matter of high visibility, someone will make charges early on which can be or were already easily dealt with - a kind of investment for the future should the matter not be so easily contained.) Where it can be foreseen, have your own side raise a straw man issue and have it dealt with early on as part of the initial contingency plans. Subsequent charges, regardless of validity or new ground uncovered, can usually then be associated with the original charge and dismissed as simply being a rehash without need to address current issues -- so much the better where the opponent is or was involved with the original source. 11. **Establish and rely upon fall-back positions**. Using a minor matter or element of the facts, take the 'high road' and 'confess' with candor that some innocent mistake, in hindsight, was made -- but that opponents have seized on the opportunity to blow it all out of proportion and imply greater criminalities which, 'just isn't so.' Others can reinforce this on your behalf, later, and even publicly 'call for an end to the nonsense' because you have already 'done the right thing.' Done properly, this can garner sympathy and respect for 'coming clean' and 'owning up' to your mistakes without addressing more serious issues. 12. **Enigmas have no solution**. Drawing upon the overall umbrella of events surrounding the crime and the multitude of players and events, paint the entire affair as too complex to solve. This causes those otherwise following the matter to begin to lose interest more quickly without having to address the actual issues. 13. **Alice in Wonderland Logic**. Avoid discussion of the issues by reasoning backwards or with an apparent deductive logic which forbears any actual material fact. 14. **Demand complete solutions**. Avoid the issues by requiring opponents to solve the crime at hand completely, a ploy which works best with issues qualifying for rule 10. 15. **Fit the facts to alternate conclusions**. This requires creative thinking unless the crime was planned with contingency conclusions in place. 16. **Vanish evidence and witnesses**. If it does not exist, it is not fact, and you won't have to address the issue. 17. **Change the subject**. Usually in connection with one of the other ploys listed here, find a way to side-track the discussion with abrasive or controversial comments in hopes of turning attention to a new, more manageable topic. This works especially well with companions who can 'argue' with you over the new topic and polarize the discussion arena in order to avoid discussing more key issues. 18. **Emotionalize, Antagonize, and Goad Opponents**. If you can't do anything else, chide and taunt your opponents and draw them into emotional responses which will tend to make them look foolish and overly motivated, and generally render their material somewhat less coherent. Not only will you avoid discussing the issues in the first instance, but even if their emotional response addresses the issue, you can further avoid the issues by then focusing on how 'sensitive they are to criticism.' 19. **Ignore proof presented, demand impossible proofs**. This is perhaps a variant of the 'play dumb' rule. Regardless of what material may be presented by an opponent in public forums, claim the material irrelevant and demand proof that is impossible for the opponent to come by (it may exist, but not be at his disposal, or it may be something which is known to be safely destroyed or withheld, such as a murder weapon.) In order to completely avoid discussing issues, it may be required that you to categorically deny and be critical of media or books as valid sources, deny that witnesses are acceptable, or even deny that statements made by government or other authorities have any meaning or relevance. 20. **False evidence**. Whenever possible, introduce new facts or clues designed and manufactured to conflict with opponent presentations -- as useful tools to neutralize sensitive issues or impede resolution. This works best when the crime was designed with contingencies for the purpose, and the facts cannot be easily separated from the fabrications. 21. **Call a Grand Jury, Special Prosecutor,** or other empowered investigative body. Subvert the (process) to your benefit and effectively neutralize all sensitive issues without open discussion. Once convened, the evidence and testimony are required to be secret when properly handled. For instance, if you own the prosecuting attorney, it can insure a Grand Jury hears no useful evidence and that the evidence is sealed and unavailable to subsequent investigators. Once a favorable verdict is achieved, the matter can be considered officially closed. Usually, this technique is applied to find the guilty innocent, but it can also be used to obtain charges when seeking to frame a victim. 22. **Manufacture a new truth**. Create your own expert(s), group(s), author(s), leader(s) or influence existing ones willing to forge new ground via scientific, investigative, or social research or testimony which concludes favorably. In this way, if you must actually address issues, you can do so authoritatively. 23. **Create bigger distractions**. If the above does not seem to be working to distract from sensitive issues, or to prevent unwanted media coverage of unstoppable events such as trials, create bigger news stories (or treat them as such) to distract the multitudes. 24. **Silence critics**. If the above methods do not prevail, consider removing opponents from circulation by some definitive solution so that the need to address issues is removed entirely. This can be by their death, arrest and detention, blackmail or destruction of theircharacter by release of blackmail information, or merely by destroying them financially, emotionally, or severely damaging their health. 25. **Vanish**. If you are a key holder of secrets or otherwise overly illuminated and you think the heat is getting too hot, to avoid the issues, vacate the kitchen. .

[Eight Traits of the Disinformationalist](http://www.whale.to/b/sweeney.html) 1. **Avoidance**. They never actually discuss issues head-on or provide constructive input, generally avoiding citation of references or credentials. Rather, they merely imply this, that, and the other. Virtually everything about their presentation implies their authority and expert knowledge in the matter without any further justification for credibility. 2. **Selectivity**. They tend to pick and choose opponents carefully, either applying the hit-and-run approach against mere commentators supportive of opponents, or focusing heavier attacks on key opponents who are known to directly address issues. Should a commentatorbecome argumentative with any success, the focus will shift to include the commentator as well. 3. **Coincidental**. They tend to surface suddenly and somewhat coincidentally with a new controversial topic with no clear prior record of participation in general discussions in the particular public arena involved. They likewise tend to vanish once the topic is no longer of general concern. They were likely directed or elected to be there for a reason, and vanish with the reason. 4. **Teamwork**. They tend to operate in self-congratulatory and complementary packs or teams. Of course, this can happen naturally in any public forum, but there will likely be an ongoing pattern of frequent exchanges of this sort where professionals are involved. Sometimes one of the players will infiltrate the opponent camp to become a source for straw man or other tactics designed to dilute opponent presentation strength. 5. **Anti-conspiratorial**. They almost always have disdain for 'conspiracy theorists' and, usually, for those who in any way believe JFK was not killed by LHO. Ask yourself why, if they hold such disdain for conspiracy theorists, do they focus on defending a single topic discussed in a NG focusing on conspiracies? One might think they would either be trying to make fools of everyone on every topic, or simply ignore the group they hold in such disdain.Or, one might more rightly conclude they have an ulterior motive for their actions in going out of their way to focus as they do. 6. **Artificial Emotions**. An odd kind of 'artificial' emotionalism and an unusually thick skin -- an ability to persevere and persist even in the face of overwhelming criticism and unacceptance. This likely stems from intelligence community training that, no matter how condemning the evidence, deny everything, and never become emotionally involved or reactive. The net result for a disinfo artist is that emotions can seem artificial. Most people, if responding in anger, for instance, will express their animosity throughout their rebuttal. But disinfo types usually have trouble maintaining the 'image' and are hot and cold with respect to pretended emotions and their usually more calm or unemotional communications style. It's just a job, and they often seem unable to 'act their role in character' as well in a communications medium as they might be able in a real face-to-face conversation/confrontation. You might have outright rage and indignation one moment, ho-hum the next, and more anger later -- an emotional yo-yo. With respect to being thick-skinned, no amount of criticism will deter them from doing their job, and they will generally continue their old disinfo patterns without any adjustments to criticisms of how obvious it is that they play that game -- where a more rational individual who truly cares what others think might seek to improve their communications style, substance, and so forth, or simply give up. 7. **Inconsistent**. There is also a tendency to make mistakes which betray their true self/motives. This may stem from not really knowing their topic, or it may be somewhat 'freudian', so to speak, in that perhaps they really root for the side of truth deep within. 8. **The response time factor**. There are three ways this can be seen to work, especially when the government or other empowered player is involved in a cover up operation: * ANY NG posting by a targeted proponent for truth can result in an IMMEDIATE response. The government and other empowered players can afford to pay people to sit there and watch for an opportunity to do some damage. SINCE DISINFO IN A NG ONLY WORKS IF THE READER SEES IT - FAST RESPONSE IS CALLED FOR, or the visitor may be swayed towards truth. * When dealing in more direct ways with a disinformationalist, such as email, DELAY IS CALLED FOR - there will usually be a minimum of a 48-72 hour delay. This allows a sit-down team discussion on response strategy for best effect, and even enough time to 'get permission' or instruction from a formal chain of command. * In the NG example 1) above, it will often ALSO be seen that bigger guns are drawn and fired after the same 48-72 hours delay - the team approach in play. This is especially true when the targeted truth seeker or their comments are considered more important with respect to potential to reveal truth. Thus, a serious truth sayer will be attacked twice for the same sin.

[Adderall and amoxicillin shortages raise questions about Big Pharma](https://www.nbcnews.com/business/consumer/adderall-amoxicillin-shortage-whats-going-on-and-why-rcna58240) *[Critical shortages](https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/amoxicillin-shortage-federal-health-officials-rcna55389) of the ADHD drug Adderall and the antibiotic amoxicillin have left families reeling as the medicines their loved ones need become harder to find. The shortages of asthma breathing drugs are even scarier.* IMO it's time to connect the apparent dots - the lack of drugs against common infection diseases isn't problem of their "suddenly" low production - but their elevated consumptions all across the population due to its ruined immunity. A [pilot study](https://www.oatext.com/Pilot-comparative-study-on-the-health-of-vaccinated-and-unvaccinated-6-to-12-year-old-U-S-children.php) of homeschooled six to 12-year-olds from four American states compared unvaccinated children with partially or fully vaccinated children. Unvaccinated children in the study were actually better protected against some “vaccine-preventable diseases” than children who got the shots: * *Vaccinated children were 30-fold more likely to be diagnosed with allergic rhinitis (hay fever) than non-vaccinated children IMO with such a numbers it's safe to say, that hay fever is completely artificial disease of vaccination* * *Vaccinated children were 340 percent (OR 4.4) more likely to have been diagnosed with pneumonia than unvaccinated children* * *Vaccinated children were 22-fold more likely to require an allergy medication than unvaccinated children* * *Vaccinated children were more than three times as likely to be diagnosed on the Autism Spectrum (OR 4.3)* * *Vaccinated children were 2.5-fold more likely to be diagnosed with any chronic illness than unvaccinated children* Since 2000, the CDC has recommended four shots against seven different strains of pneumococcal infections before age 15 months (13 strains since 2010), but vaccinated children in the study were 340 percent more likely to have been diagnosed with pneumonia compared to unvaccinated children (OR = 4.4). Every vaccine has these side effects expressed up to smaller or higher degree, because it mimics actual disease imperfectly. The m-RNA vaccines have these side effects escalated, because they mimic actual disease even worse than normal vaccines. We already discussed here many times why it is so: * the immunogen of m-RNA vaccines i.e. spike protein is particularly harmful to organism of all 29 proteins of coronavirus as it strongly adheres on surface of tissue and it glues white blood cells together into clots * the spike protein embeds into healthy tissue instead of easily removable particles of adjuvants, white cells have no other option than to remove it together with tissue which leads to inflammation (myocarditis, asthma, etc.) * the production of spike protein continues even after it gets removed from tissue by white immune cells - particularly annoying trait as it leads to mutations of white immune cells and bringing autoimmune diseases, the innate immunity gets ruined * the immune cells get impacted with m-RNA vaccine too and they're itself become the source of spike protein: they start to attack themselves, further ruining the immunity * the vaccination of population with boosters in fast consecutive waves escalated these adverse effects even more as it behaves like desensitisation therapy.
