Germ theory has been around for over a century and stood the test of time. Much of the medical advice we get these days (eg, salt, saturated fat, cholesterol) is based upon 10-30 years of research. And when they go back and re-study these issues, they reverse their decisions. Medicine is...

I agree that science has always had competing theories, but no one is making day-to-day health decisions on the outcome of cosmological theories. Medical research falls into an entirely different category because doctors and patients rely on that information, often resulting in life and...

I'm saying that I don't believe any of them anymore. They spend billions of dollars doing research that culminates with a point of view that's adopted by 90% of the medical community. Then, a decade or two later, those same researchers come out and say exactly the opposite. For example...

Lael Brainard is a former MIT Economics Professor who really understands the negative impact of the FTT. She's spoken out against it on several occasions and is very familiar with the technical research in the field. I'd like to see her front-and-center fighting the extraterritorial reach of the...

WHY CAN’T SCIENCE GET IT RIGHT? I have great respect for scientists. I have a math and science background and so does my wife. My oldest daughter wants to be a doctor, and we’ve encouraged her in that direction. But at times like these, I have to wonder why thousands of doctors and...

If LEO is more proficient then why do criminals hit their intended targets almost twice as often as police officers? http://www.forcescience.org/fsinews/2006/12/new-findings-from-fbi-about-cop-attackers-their-weapons/ Truth is, cops on the beat are no better shots than anyone else who's...

Most cops have only basic firearms training and shoot only about three hundred rounds per year for practice. (When I shot competitively, I used to shoot 2,000 rounds per week to reach top performance levels.) The crazy idea that cops on the beat have exceptional skills with guns is a movie...

You don't have to. Al Gore is doing it for you. He has not one, but two, huge homes (over ten thousand square feet each) that consume more energy than you or I ever will. And he recently flew from his home in Santa Barbara to a meeting in Washington DC in a private jet that burns 350 gallons...

With a computer... and large amounts of price and volume data. The analysis consists of identifying support and resistance areas based upon volume (buying and selling activity); and then extracting statistical reliability from each data segment that makes up the support/resistance area. I...

Like others who have commented before me, I don't try to predict anything. I look at probabilities. I take trades based upon market context and statistical analysis of key areas of support/resistance. I look at risk (how much I have to lose to cross the statistical threshold) and potential...
