For the past two hundred years, science has, for the most part, been stuck
permanently in stage one, venturing to stage two only when compelled to by
undeniable evidence.
"Stones cannot fall from the sky, because there are no stones in
the sky," Antoine Lavoisier, father of modern chemistry, told his
fellow members of the Academie des Sciences in the 1790s.
You might imagine that things have changed a lot in the 1990s, but, sadly, it
is just as easy to find eminent, well-educated people making the same kind of
remarks today. Only the subjects have changed.

Lewis Wolpert, professor of biology applied to medicine at University College
London, and chairman of the Committee on the Public Understanding of Science,
was asked by a reporter from The Sunday Times if scientists shouldn't be moreminded?
"Anmind, is an empty mind," Wolpert told him.
Distinguished medical doctor and director Jonathan Miller candidly admitted
on TV, "Even if you showed me the evidence for homeopathy, I still
wouldn't believe in it."
Given such attitudes, what are the chances that conventional science will
even investigate anomalous phenomena, let alone make any breakthrough
discoveries?
Based on the evidence presented in this book, the answer is somewhere between
"Very Low" and "Non-existent."
However, there is always Alternative Science . . .
