Geologists Have Closely Analyzed Two Bizarre ‘Blobs’ Detected Deep Inside Earth and after decades of study, numerous peer reviewed papers, the scientific community has determined that they are in fact “Blobs”.

What’s really asinine is that our “scientists” can drum up billions of dollars to research, postulate and theorize what’s on/in a planet millions/billions of light years from Earth, but can’t do it in their own backyard.

You can’t be held accountable for your theory out there.................

It is all just based on seismic modeling. I have drilled several dry holes due to “seismic modeling.”

LOL! I can imagine Karens looking at that poster showing those 30-year-old teenagers with cigarettes sticking out of their mouths and just losing their minds.

Folks,

Is not this article good science? So much unlike the “science of answers”.

Good science leads you to more questions and closer to the truth, but you NEVER quite get to the final answer, the universal theory. Why is that?

That nature of humans is we want answers, not more questions. In fact, we want simple answers so that we can feel in control.

But in reality, there is a simple answer to all Questions. The answer to every question is God. But that answer gives us indigestion and headaches.........................

Cosmology which I am sure you are alluding never ever costed billions and billions of dollars in total. Maybe for one effort at most the equivalent of a Phase I STTR ($150K-$200K) for some professor time, some grad students, a post grad or 2 & some computer time.

Even if the work/theory later goes belly-up, there are technical/engineering spin-offs (maybe not directly but indirectly!) even from something this esoteric.

It was intended to be. You would really be unsettled if you knew that your were racing along the continent you are on and will soon collide into the nearest continent. Better start packing because the collision will be soon, and probably less than a few million years. LOL.

I guess since it “doesn’t work”, that’s why the industry spends oodles & oodles of money doing seismic modeling!

When I was in the industry in the 1970s the claim was 1 hole out of 30 paid off. (Note I never bothered to check the claim! Saw no need to!) I am sure its a better ratio now.

It’s lots of yummy oil waiting to go in my gas tank.

I understand basic research and it’s importance.

But the way of getting attention is to have an outlandish theory these days. The further out the theory, the more attention you get. It is not built on prior truths learned.

What reward do you get for proving someone else’s prior work?

Very little research is built on prior learning. The goal is getting closer to the truth.

This article was good I thought. It wants to get closer to the truth.

I would bet that you are right.

There is enough oil to supply ALL man’s needs for at least a thousand years............

The issue is which ones. how selected.

I have looked at some of the programs at science/engineering conventions. It might as well have been a comic con convention.

Take a really good look at the research coming out of our universities. This is not to say there is not any good research, but someone should have said NO to a lot of it.

No argument from me. Unfortunately “the system” for both advanced degrees (MS, PhD) for students, promotion and tenure for faculty require “research”. Should such a system be replaced? Yes ! But with what?

Questions that have to be answered for a replacement system to work

1. How do you train a student in “research” without doing “research” even “bad research” is better then no “research” or so its thought.

2. How do you measure faculty performance?

3. How do you even measure good teaching by faculty? Letting the students fill out evaluaion forms? Easily defeated ! If yu give out A’s all the students love you!

And here I am only talking about science & engineering!
Humanities, liberal arts & social sciences are just publishing personal prejudices and calling it “unbiased reserach”. Of course in the academic culture it has the same cache as research in medicine, science & engineering.

The images demonstrate what I always suspected the natural state was - structures that are less uniform than the standard science textbooks always portrayed.
