Hi all, I am just wondering what is your attitude as a scientist towards research?
Do you really practise noble value in research? Sometimes, I found scientific community is somehow quite confusing ya!
1. For whatever reason, scientist tend to cite ONLY those research favourable towards their purpose. Shouldn't a scientist take account of both sides?
2. I have heard people who do research replicate their result several times just to obtain favourable result. Again, is this a correct attitude? Disregarding the unfavourable result and publish the one which favour your hypothesis or the one you can explain.
3. Again, as a scientist, what is your attitude towards pseudoscience? For example, you think they are completely nonsense or maybe just can't be explained? For me, I always think that science shouldn't be a definite. People once said that moon-landing was preposterous, but it is now proven possible. I saw quite some documentaries where people challenge the fact, some scientists just cannot accept it.
4. When something is improbable, should we keep digging the same hole or look for alternative? This applied to the theory of big bang and the origin of life. The possibility of having life originate from chemical basis is so small that is deemed as impossible. So, should we keep on finding solutions to explain this theory, or should we think of alternative?
All in all, just to brag something
