Revisited: "Science Is Almost Always Wrong..."
Our delve into the past today takes us back to just before the beginning of my still-going blogging streak, early December of 2019, when I saved this entry: "Science Is Almost Always Wrong, And That's A Good Thing" 
Other than noting that maybe—just maybe—being the longest entry title I've ever typed, there's not a lot to say about the entry itself. The article featured is from Quanta, and it's still available.
There are a few things I see now from a different, older, wiser perspective:
I mean, seriously, how hard is it to get the damn science right? I personally know a guy who works as a science consultant to certain TV shows, and the problem is they don't listen to him.
Turns out it's kinda hard to "get the damn science right." Sometimes the necessities of plot just get in the way.
That's going to be my new curse. "Hey, Waltz, someone keyed your car." "Galileo's balls!"
Unsurprisingly, I promptly forgot about that expletive, and I don't think I ever actually used it in speech or writing.
What that entry is, then, is probably a good representation of my postings here, but that's about all. |
