Science Is Not What You Think

Mehr zum Buch

The book explores the decline in trustworthiness of science in the latter half of the 20th century, highlighting issues like conflicts of interest and competitiveness that led to increased fraud. It discusses the establishment of the federal Office of Research Integrity to combat these issues and notes how competent minority opinions can be suppressed. This suppression results in biased information for policymakers and the public, raising concerns about established scientific theories, including those regarding the origins of the universe and global warming.
