Quote of the Week

Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false idea that democracy means "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."

Science or Fiction (1:16:51)

Item #1: A new study finds that untrained 8-12 year old children have the muscular endurance of elite marathon or triatholon athletes.[4]
Item #2: Researchers find that reading an op-ed was more likely to reinforce existing beliefs than to change the reader’s mind.[5]
Item #3: Scientists have demonstrated quantum entanglement in the largest experimental setup to date, 15 micrometers wide, the thickness of a fine human hair.[6]
