    18:20 · 2M views · Mar 15, 2013

    A re-upload of Rupert Sheldrake's TEDx talk The Science Delusion, which TED removed from its channel. He challenges what he calls the dogmas of modern science, including whether fundamental constants are constant.

    Recommended by some as a provocative critique of scientific dogma, and also cited as the talk TED pulled.

    1. @cprJul 2017· in “NIST to redefine the kilogram based on a fundamental universal constant”

      An interesting (banned) TEDx talk by Rupert Sheldrake, one part on the changing "fundamental constants", starting here: this video The other parts are a bit "woo" and I'm sure would be laughed at by the HN crowd. But his points about fundamental "constants" changing, and the metrologists' dogmatic (really, anti-scientific) response, are worth pondering.

    2. @tokenizerDec 2013· in “Reddit’s science forum banned climate deniers. Why don’t all newspapers?”

      I think this shows scientific institutions and advocates in a bad light. Rupert Sheldrake had a great TED talk on the dogma's of modern science, and was even further legitimized when a private council of TED banned the talk. Link: this video

    3. @ameliusJan 2022· in “The control group is out of control (2014)”

      Reminds me of a talk of Rupert Sheldrake at Google Talks: [LINK] and then later he gave a talk called "The Science Delusion" which got banned from TED: this video
