Science for Heretics: Why so much of science is wrong

Science is broken. Rather than finding universal laws underpinning reality, we're being forced to break science down into smaller and smaller sub-specialities, each with ever more divergent theories applicable only to one speciality and not applicable to others. Instead of an underlying unity we are finding only disparity and greater complexity. What’s worse, scientists are routinely having to resort to completely untestable concepts, such as many more spatial dimensions and infinite universes, to ‘explain’ our reality.Throughout history, philosophers and scientists have been warning of the fundamental flaws lying at the heart of all aspects of science. These objections and criticisms have been ignored and then often forgotten in the face of the apparent overwhelming successes of science, but many of them are still perfectly valid. The aim of this book is, for the first time, to summarise these profound concerns across all the fields of science in a way that is accessible to the general reader who does not have a background in science. It also attempts to provide a warning of the risks that, perhaps even at extinction level for mankind, science runs by not acknowledging the hollow foundations on which it is built.
