Yeah, I guess the same can be said of the theory of evolution. When the
preponderance of scientists come to consensus, we should definitely ignore
them.

Where was the consensus?

People who rely on consensus - other people's opinions - usually cannot
think for themselves.

Instead rely on basic physical laws and measurable, repeatable experiments
reduced to the fundamentals.

11th order unstable computer models are for mystics.

The brain - man's second most favorite organ - is a wonderful thing. Make
the choice to use it. Frequently!

"Throughout the centuries there were men who took first steps down new
roads armed with nothing but their own vision. Their goals differed, but
they all had this in common: that the step was first, the road new, the
vision unborrowed, and the response they recieved-hatred. The great
creators-the thinkers, the artists, the scientists, the inventors-stood
alone against the men of their time. Every great new thought was opposed.
Every great new invention was denounced. The first motor was considered
foolish. The airplane was considered impossible. The power loom was
considered vicious. Anesthesia was considered sinful. But the men of
unborrowed vision went ahead. They fought, they suffered and they paid.
But they won." Ayn Rand
