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.
I believe there's also a large bias in science to stick with the pack. Being renegade is risky- you could turn out to be the next Einstein if your work is accepted and reproducible, but if not then you fall by the wayside or worse- discredited and basically unable to do much work due to your inability to obtain research funding.
You are right though- I believe many scientists are extremely interested in things like this, but remain quiet about it for their own self preservation. Dean Radin has spoken about this in regards to PSI research, calling it an underground college that's growing each day.
