“The purpose of science is to discover the true nature of Earth and Universe and to share that knowledge with people everywhere. That’s what I do.”~ J. Marvin Herndon, Ph.D.
To expand on Dr. Herndon’s comment above, let me state that science is not about hiding the truth, it is not about not questioning all conventional thinking so as to retain certain agendas, it is not about being fully funded by government or corporate entities which can only cause great bias in honest scientific exploration, and it is not about protecting any State narrative, regardless of how uncomfortable it may be to expose factual evidence to the contrary. The essence of real science is constant questioning of everything in order to strive to find truth.
