"The Inter-American Parliament?" James didn't shake hands with him, but looked at Karen with strange eyes: "How come I don't know, when the United States had an American Congress?" I only know the Senate of the House of Representatives, the US Congress. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoI heard that the European Union has a European Parliament, does it mean that the Americas also want to have a US alliance? ”

Karen was not embarrassed, withdrew her hand and said, "It's normal that the doctor doesn't know, because this Inter-American Council is not for ordinary people. ”

James smiled and said, "So am I an ordinary person?" ”

The pride of being a good scientist made him unable to accept that he was regarded as an ordinary person, and there was already a faint anger in his heart: these damn politicians know how to make everything worse! A scientist can't get his rightful position!

He couldn't help but fall into deep contemplation, what is wrong with this country? It must be a system problem! This country eats jujube pills!

"Count it before." The other party seemed to understand James's thoughts: "But don't count now." ”

"Now?"

"That's right, now. When you verify that energy particle theory, you are not an ordinary person. ”

"What do you mean?"

Karen stretched out her hand again: "Reacquaint yourself with Karen, a member of the Inter-American Parliament, a researcher at the Center for the Study of Indian Mythology, a tribal wizard, and a host of Supernatural Television, and a doctor of theology from Harvard University." ”

"Wait......" James thought thoughtfully, "No wonder I look so familiar with you, it turns out that you are actually the host of that shabby TV station that promotes pseudoscience and religion!" ”

This paranormal TV station is a niche television station in the United States. However, although it is a small minority, it has a great influence, especially among those gods and fanatics who believe in supernatural powers, and so on, they have a considerable status.

Moreover, it has a decisive voice in the American religious circles. Anecdotally, some states in the United States are going to put the theory of God's choice rather than evolution in their textbooks, and they are behind it.

This is particularly disgusting to real scientists.

Of course, James doesn't watch this TV program, but as a scientist, he occasionally pays some attention to an anti-scientific public opinion position. Of course, it's all the kind of look that looks at it with great disgust. That's why James felt that Karen was a little familiar, but he didn't recognize it. It is precisely because he has seen this face more or less, but not much.

Knowing each other, James couldn't even shake hands with the other party, he felt insulted, and even held a grudge against Herman: You are a dignified, pure scientist, what is it about you to introduce yourself to a god, a liar, an anti-science fanatic?

He narrowed his eyes slightly: "I heard that the famous anti-science manifesto "Nine Commentaries on Evolution" was written by you?" God destroys science, anti-science keeps peace? What are you doing here? This is a place for scientific research, not a place for you to talk nonsense, and there is no room for you to live here! ”

Karen waved her hands together and laughed, "No, no, Dr. James, don't do this." In fact, those things are nothing more than fools, and only fools, idiots, and psychopaths will believe it. But it can't be helped, there are interests in this. You know, only this kind of foolish people with insufficient IQ balance will not hesitate to give us all their possessions. justabusiness, it's just a business, you know. ”

"Business? Benefit? Just for the sake of business and profit, you can be anti-science? ”

"Doctor, it's clear that you don't understand a point. I would like to ask the Ph.D. a question, can science be defeated by business and profit? Karen asked rhetorically.

"Of course not!" James replied without hesitation.

"If that's the case, what's the point of whether we're anti-science or not? Science can't be brought down anyway, and instead of letting those fools and idiots squander their possessions with their brain volume of no more than 20 ml, it's better to give us waste utilization. At the very least, we can use the money to support scientific research. That's why the existence of that money is valuable. ”

Seeing Karen speak so naturally, James felt speechless: "Supporting scientific research? You guys? ”

"Of course, of course!" Karen said: "Otherwise, where do you think those religious, theological and supernatural research societies have gone with hundreds of millions of dollars or even billions of dollars a year? Can a few godheads, madmen, and fanatics get together and talk nonsense to squander the money? Or is it being filled by some people? Of course not, all this money went where it was supposed to go. ”

"Where?"

"Center for Paranormal Science Research. A secretive research institute. ”

Hearing this, James looked at Karen with a look that you are taunting me: "Supernatural science? I never knew when the supernatural and science could be put in everything. ”

"Why not? At least, until our current science is advanced enough to uncover the secrets of the supernatural, we can only describe it as supernatural science, rather than subsuming it into the category of classical scientific theory. Isn't that the theory you worked on earlier a crucial step? What is the essential difference between energy particles that can only be called by life and supernatural forces? Yes, we can't fully uncover its secrets right now, but as long as it exists, it doesn't prevent us from using it until the theory is clear. ”

When he said this, James felt speechless.

"Doctor, don't you see that there are many places in the theory of energy particles that deviate from traditional science? But, more than not, it developed according to traditional science. I thought, isn't that the value of our paranormal science research? Think about it, the Soviets have been doing this for decades, the Nazis are also high, of course, the United States is also doing it, and even the ancient Eastern country, the United States, no, the whole Western world, the great enemy of all whites, is not also doing it? ”

"Could it be that this energy particle theory has something to do with that country's previous research?" Although James knew that the energy particle theory came from Huaguo, he didn't take it seriously. Because this theory is contrary to many common senses of traditional science, the higher the level of traditional science, the more difficult it is to research results. However, in the country where the level of traditional science is insufficient, it is natural for this theory to appear.

But now it seems that there is an inside story in this.

"Of course, as we all know, at a time when we, the Soviets, oh, and the Europeans, the British, and so on, were all working on supernatural powers, that country was also doing this. From the moment they opened their borders, there was a trend of studying supernatural powers called paranormal functions. Even, they adopted the methods of mass movement that they were good at, and the whole society pursued supernatural powers. So much so that Mr. Qian, a respected father of science in their country and worth more than five divisions, vigorously advocated this kind of research. ”

Karen told some secrets: "Now, many people think that such an old scientist is dazed by old age. In fact, skillful nonsense. Such an old scientist with extremely high scientific quality, even in the face of death, his scientific literacy will not be weakened by half a point. Just as Sir Newton's turn to theology in his later years was deplored, but in fact there was a reason for it, so the old scientist had good reasons for doing so. However, later, for various reasons, the government of that country suppressed the trend of people seeking supernatural powers. But it is clear that the previous trend was not without results, and this energy particle theory should be one of their achievements. ”

"Is that so?"

"Of course, I believe that such a great theory can only be summed up by a great scientist of Mr. Qian's level, not by a young man who is no more than twenty years old and has just entered the supernatural realm of their country for only a few years. Of course, it is normal for scientists to produce results at a very young age, but that is not something that a disciple who has never shown an interest in scientific research can do. That should just be a smoke bomb. I don't know what made the head of that country think that this theory should be made public in this way, I just know that this opportunity should not be missed! ”

"But...... But in supernatural research, many experiments cannot be reproduced, and it is impossible to pass double-blind or triple-blind experiments, and there are many more things, you can't tell whether it is a real phenomenon or a hallucination of some hysterical patients. Since you know a lot about science, you should know that a real scientific phenomenon must be reproducible and must be able to pass the verification of double-blind and triple-blind experiments, otherwise, it cannot be recognized. ”

Double-blind and triple-blind trials are a research method used to prevent research results from being influenced by the placebo effect or observer bias, or in other words, to reduce the influence of prejudices and unintentional physical cues on experimental results. To blind a person in an experiment is to not inform him about the course of the experiment. According to the degree of blinding of the participants, such experiments were divided into single-blind, double-blind, and triple-blind experiments.

For the orthodox scientific community, double-blind and triple-blind trials are more rigorous and acceptable. In a double-blind experiment, neither the experimenter nor the participant knew which participants belonged to the control group and which belonged to the experimental group.

Triple-blind trials, on the other hand, are an extension of the double-blind method, in which the subjects, researchers, and data analysts are not aware of the grouping and handling of the subjects. However, this method has higher requirements for the safety of the study, and the implementation needs to be more rigorous and difficult, so the double-blind method is used more.

In fact, most paranormal studies and experiments cannot be verified by the double-blind method, even the vast majority. On the other hand, paranormal research cannot theoretically boast a mathematically rigorous proof process. This is why the study of the occult is not accepted by the orthodox scientific community and is regarded as pseudoscience.
