Paine: Letter to Robert Morrell MBE (November 12, 2001)
|
Letter from Montague Keen to Psychic News In his letter, Montague Keen writes: "What is depressing about the critics is their willingness to construct an upturned pyramid of hypotheses and speculations, all balanced on one improbable assumption after another. What is so remarkable is their unwillingness to accept the oft repeated challenge to take the scientifically warranted course of viewing all the evidence together, rather than attempting to pick theoretical holes in every individual item." Read the full text of the letter here. It is notable that this letter was published in Psychic News and not in New Scientist, where it would have provided a balance to the outburst from Dr. Susan Blackmore published there on November 4, 2000. Dr. Blackmore referred to the Scole Report as "infamous". It is also notable that experiments carried out by Professor Gary Schwartz are never censored because he has not linked the subject of survival after death with natural forces in the universe, and with the scientific discipline of subatomic physics that looks at the invisible part of the universe. |
