General Science / Re: What fringe science has become orthodox science?

Poor old Aristarchus of Samos in the 3rd century BC received no support from other astronomers at the time that the Earth revolves around the Sun...that idea didnt spring up until the 16th century... but then again Aris Samos did also say the sun was at the centre of the universe so he wasnt all right...

In a way all science starts off as "fringe".
A scientist thinks "Aha! - it's so and so".
At that time he is the only "believer"- that's pretty well "fringe".

Technically, theres 3 classifications of scientific ideas- centre, frontier, fringe. fringe being classed the more novel hypotheses to the wacky stuff.

I need some clarification on the question. When you say "fringe" science, do you mean scientific theory that was once rejected and now accepted (theory of tectonic plates for example). Or by fringe do you mean the off the wall stuff like psychic phenomena and that ilk.

the first mainly. but you can include the second too!

Plant Sciences, Zoology & Evolution / Evolution, Consciousness and Quantum Mechanics

« on: 11/12/2011 13:34:38 »

ah ok,
leaving "consciousness" aside for a moment,
(I can grasp the concept of how consciousness evolved as man developed
and, like you say, consciousness itself seems to be very subjective concept),
but wave function collapse/observer is not subjective, its yes or no affair.

..I still cant, for the love of me, grasp how this observer concept fits in with evolution.

If the observer doesnt necessarily need to have consciousness,
does the observer need to be a living thing?

For example a fish, (you could argue probably isnt remotely conscious)
But is it considered an observer?, can we test or assume anything there?

If observers are only living things, Im still wondering when and how the observers emerged in the timeline of evolution:
EXAMPLE
4000 million years ago: Abiogenesis
2100 Million years ago: the eukaryotes...probably not observers??? 
550 Million years ago: Flatworms emerged, the earliest life with brain,
were they the first "observers"

Why would they be able to effect the universe that they grew from??

The whole idea doesnt sit well with me. 
 
Please help me out, thanks.

when does matter without consciousness cause wave function collapse?

..... life evolved to become observers that effect the universe...(?)...

Quite apart from that, if you merely observe, do you have any effect on anything? I observe a plant growing, but my observation has no effect on its growth. It will grow whether it is observed or not.

Well, an atom only appears in a certain place if you measure it. An atom is spread out all over the place until a conscious observer decides to look at it, so an act of measurement or observation creates the entire universe.

Only conscious beings can be observers, so observers must be infinitely hooked into the very existence of reality. Without observers there would be just be an expanding superposition of possibilities with nothing definite ever actually happening.   

Surely, quantum theory is at contradiction with the evolution theory
both cant be right,
...can they?

Hi all,

Are there any examples of any fringe science that broke through into the mainstream and became the accepted norm?

There must be many.

I'd thought I'd start a thread about the difficulties some scientists had putting their ideas across.

What scientists were the most lambasted and ridiculed for there ideas, then praised for their genius as tides turned in their favour?
Are there any scientists that died before they got the credit they deserved?

Are there any fringe sciences out there today that you support, but everybody else laughs at?

.. Its true that we say an observation effects things, but since we can't define an observer terribly precisely...

ok thats fine, forget about defining it precisely, but since it does happen, i was more interested in when (very roughly) and how it started happening??

If we know life started happening 3,900 million years ago, somewhere between then and modern times, life started effecting the universe it grew from.

...There were once no observers in the universe...then life started... then at some point life evolved to become observers that effect the universe...(?)...

If it sounds illogical to you...it does to me too!....its making me question the whole evolution subject...

i'd be more than happy if someone can put me straight on this, many thanks.

Hi

Can someone tell me at what point in evolution did consciousness start effecting the universe that created it? ("created it" in the sense "the place it grew from")

At some point there was the universe without any conscious beings...but I thought quantum physics tells us the universe doesnt exist without a conscious mind aware of it..

If you use an analogy of the universe being an incubator with chicks growing in it, at some the minds of chicks growing in the incubator started effecting the actual incubator itself, what so special about the brains of the chicks?

New Theories / Post Orgasmic Illness Syndrome (POIS)

Has anyone on the forum done comparison tests between regular niacin and nicotinamide, to see if the latter has any effect on POIS?

Or also compare Niacin with L-Histidine.

http://psychology.wikia.com/wiki/Histamine
Sexual response
Research has shown that histamine is released as part of the human orgasm from mast cells in the genitals. If this response is lacking this may be a sign of histapenia (histamine deficiency). In such cases, a doctor may prescribe diet supplements with folic acid and niacin (which used in conjunction can increase blood histamine levels and histamine release), or L-histidine.


if L-histidine works too (prior, like niacin) then it could point towards low histamine at orgasm as a feature of POIS, if you get my drift.

I am not going to lie about myself but I am a skeptic about this theory. 

yeah, im doubtful it works. i did it for awhile.
sure, you get a negative reaction after dabbing a semen mix under the tongue but i suspected it was self-induced.
I decided to do my own double blind test with one bottle 1:2000 semen mix and another bottle pure mineral water.
One gave me a 3/10 negative reaction, the other 0.5/10.
It turned out it was the mineral water that gave me the stronger negative reaction.

It was nacebo (negative placebo.)
ive since stopped mainly because i feel the semen allergy theory is a load of total bollocks.

I don't think that thoughts can trigger an allergy.

It has been found that in people with multi-personality disorder, they will test positive allergic to a substance in one personality, and negative to the same substance when in their other personality.

Many doctors/medicine in general are now moving away from the old Newtonian physics that drugs are the answer to chronic problems, and more towards the quantum physics way of thinking that, the mind and energy fields are the key to chronic illness, if watch you the whole of the living matrix you'll get the idea, which is why NLP & reiki etc are good for chronic illhealth.
The Living Matrix

Anyways, it has been known since 1899 that everybody are probably allergic to their semen.

1899-1900 Sperm recognized as immunogenic (will cause an autoimmune reaction if transplanted from the testis into a different area of the body) by Lansteiner (1899) and Metchinikoff, (1900)
Immune privilege in the testis
Sperm are immunogenic - that is they will cause an autoimmune reaction if transplanted from the testis into a different part of the body. This has been demonstrated in experiments using rats by Lansteiner (1899) and Metchinikoff (1900) , mice and guinea pigs . The likely reason for this is that sperm first mature at puberty, after immune tolerance is established, therefore the body recognizes them as foreign and mounts an immune reaction against them. Since sperm do not die in the testis, mechanisms for their protection must exist in this organ. The blood-testis barrier is likely to contribute to the survival of sperm. However, it is believed in the field of testicular immunology that the blood-testis barrier cannot account for all immune suppression in the testis, due to (1) its incompleteness at a region called the rete testis and (2) the presence of immunogenic molecules outside the blood-testis barrier, on the surface of spermatogonia . Another mechanism which is likely to protect sperm is the suppression of immune responses in the testis . Both the suppression of immune responses and the increased survival of grafts in the testis have led to its recognition as an immunologically privileged site. Other immunologically privileged sites include the eye, brain and uterus.

When and where was the original "adam and eve" of the early humans/apes?
Ive always thought of evolution as a gradual thing over millions of years, fine.
But someone pointed out to me the other day, there must have been the original "mum and dad" of us all i.e if we traced back everybody's mums, mums, mums, mums etc it must lead to the same original pair of apes or early primate.
