Abstract
How often have you found the experts lined up against you? It happens all the time. "Don't eat eggs - there's too much cholesterol." "Nothing can travel faster than the speed of light." "Smoking causes lung cancer." "There's no danger from these radioactive emissions." In modern society, scientific experts are the new priests. They pronounce on all manner of things with the ultimate authority: scientific knowledge. To challenge the experts is heresy.
