I was debating this morning whether or not to blog about a recent hypothesis. One aspect of science today is "being scooped". Scientists are secretive to prevent other people from stealing their ideas. Being the first to publish something leads to financial and political rewards. This is also why scientists often do not publish negative results, or cherry-pick results, or even worse, falsify results completely. I feel a conflict between wanting to share my ideas freely so that they can be developed as rapidly as possible, and a desire for money and status. I've decided to share my ideas freely. If some day my children are starving, I will ask my blog readers for help. It's a difficult world. This is where I've decided to make my stand.
