Einstein’s paper on relativity is beautiful because it explains an extremely complex topic in very easy to understand words. Albert wanted us to know. Contrast this with modern research papers who use nonsense jargon, buzzwords and overly complicates to obfuscate knowledge.
We live in a world of disinformation, and modern scientists while taught to be unbiased get conditioned by corporations to help their product succeed. If they are unbiased, they’re studies showing the corporate product to be negative will be thrown out.
We must be faithful and ingenuous like Albert Einstein. We should aim to educate the world, and not obfuscate things and push dirty lies and propaganda to support our wallets. A great example is failure to adopt Nuclear Power by lying to the public. Lets explore.
All power companies compete for the pie. If electric powered car companies can convince you that oil is bad, oil investments will go down. We had that earlier this year with Tesla wanting the internal combustion car outlawed, and now gas prices are high. It’s common.
In the 1960s, The Soviet Union invaded the environmental movement. They teach you this in Highschool and University. It is taught that USSR failed. But they didn’t. They convinced our society that nuclear power is bad for the environment when the reverse is true.
13,000,000 die each year to fossil fuels. Nearly every human being on Earth has our health and intelligence stunted by air pollution. Only 100 people a year die to nuclear power plants. Competing energy companies don’t care though, they only want money, so they make you afraid.
The worst part is that nuclear power plants would not wake some sleeping monster. Radiation is all among us. The 2nd leading cause of lung cancer is radon and SW Pennsylvania is a red danger zone for this. If we made new power plants every 10 years, our research could help clean that up.
Long story short: There are two types of people in this world. People like Albert Einstein who wants his fellow man to learn and help society, and your average crook who hopes you don’t find out what he’s up to as long as he selfishly gets what he wants in the here and now.
I read scientific papers, and really wish the former altruistic scientist was the more common. But all too often it is the later. Maybe people can’t put into words conciseness or they’re pressured into being wordy, but we can do a better job about writing research articles guys.
