In Reply to: Nice article by editor Jim Austin in Stereophile now. Mr. Chip 20 year anniversary. Bravo! Nt posted by Geoffkait on April 21, 2025 at 09:58:00:
So, has science become so mundane, set in its ways, and disinterested in learning something new that it furiously rejects anything that doesn't look normal? Sight unseen, it's judgment guided by gut reactions. This goes against the scientific method, obviously. Science was not built on gut reactions. Where is the curiosity, where is the rolling up the sleeves and at least attempt to get to the bottom of things? I have a hard time believing someone would think if he opened up an Intelligent Chip he would find an artificial atom. If he had been paying attention he would have known the insides were examined under a scanning electron microscope by an earnest Uber skeptic. Hel-loo!
