There have been plenty of sites hosting horrible, and graphic content like the late LiveLeak site. But I’ve never heard of a good site for posting actual paranormal stuff.

Unless i am wrong.

    Schrödinger was criticizing the interpretation of quantum mechanics, Tesla generated way more garbage than he did innovations, the Drake equation is a novelty (and Drake repeatedly clarified that it was conjecture until we find any evidence of ETI), SETI is awesome.

    Everything you just listed is an example of science investigating the tangible aspects of observed phenomenon.

      The point is, people have been discouraging use of wild and vivid imagination, so we get the same old same old until someone has courage to daydream, thought experiment, etc

        Science works best when people are:

        • Creatively thinking
        • Use ideas from other scientific areas for their scientific area

        The book “How We Got To Now” does a fabulous job of showing that science is not a uniform step by step process instead is a tree with different branches.

        AC and refrigerators all started because someone wanted to ship ice to tropical locations for money.

        SETI is another prefect example. A bunch of scientists sat around and said to themselves “We have all these new instruments for space. What if we tried to find alien life with it?”
