Nobel Laureate claims DNA uses quantum teleportation

[zenmaster]

I have my doubts as to the proper documentation of those ignored DNA discoveries. I've read hundreds of science papers, and some, often those with the most incredible claims, are complete garbage.

Don't get me wrong, I 'believe' in homeopathy, for example. My intuition says there is something to it, and I've seen it work - even if it's placebo. But that's not science. The current science behind it is awful. And it's not horrible due to some inherent flaw in the scientific method, or even epistemological foundations. It's bad simply because of inadequate understanding of the phenomena, or poor experimental controls used, by the researchers themselves. Pioneers can actually 'ruin' great discoveries for everyone by improperly presenting their findings. Do not always assume that these people are society's 'unsung heros' or that there is a conspiracy involved.

Sure there will always be researchers that stick their heads in the sand - either because it's not compelling enough or it doesn't serve their interests. But believe me, there are plenty of scientists out there with open minds that will look into claims and are seeking the truth, even if it involves a paradigm shift.
