Galactic Collision Game

Has science taken a wrong turn? If so, what corrections are needed? Chronicles of scientific misbehavior. The role of heretic-pioneers and forbidden questions in the sciences. Is peer review working? The perverse "consensus of leading scientists." Good public relations versus good science.

Absolutely hilarious!

So these buttmonkeys are always yowling about how EU proponents never bring any math to the table, and here they are going to play "What's the Closest Match" now?? All of a sudden visual data is adequate, is it? The only thing more amazing than their 'warped space' is the warped rules that they play by!

Flaming hypocrites, every last one of em! :x

Hi Earls,
Nope. Unless I'm missing something?
If I have the least bit of knowledge
I will follow the great Way alone
and fear nothing but being sidetracked.
The great Way is simple
but people delight in complexity.

Taxonomy is a long, arduous, tedious, and boring job. Let millions of people do it 10 minutes at a time instead of 100 people doing it 14 hours a day.

Here is the crux of the article, lest we get too entranced:
The developers described the game as a "cosmic fruit machine"
They are the ones who ought to know.
