"Progress occurs only after new empirical evidence becomes so overwhelming that the established orthodoxy just collapses under its weight ... But until you reach that point, the old order hangs on and defebds itself with every tool at its disposal."-  Princeton Professor Robert Jahn

The search for the truth demands rational guidelines, and even though some subjects lie on the outer limits of scientific research, we still examine them trough a scientific lense.

The scientific method has been mankind's greatest engine of discovery since the Middle Ages. Perhaps that is why it is important that new truths are often uncovered by fringe figures and outsiders. The location of the City of Troy, long consigned by scholars wth smug certainty to the realm of myth,  was identified by Heinrich Schkieman, a banker for whom archeology was a hobby, in the 1870s. The theory of the continental drift and plate tectonics, a foundation of our understanding of the planet we live on, was devised by Alfred Wegner, a weatherman, whose work was ridiculed for decades by serious geologists.

For years data has been found that conventional science has not been equipped to deal with. Response from the mainstream scientific community has been to ignore such information whenever possible and attack it when it is not possible to ignore it.

Weird Science lies somewhere between credulity and cynacism.
