Mener un projet scientifique, c’est pas si compliqué ! Nous suivons le parcours des élèves de Notre-Dame de Basse-Wavre, de la réalisation du projet en classe à sa présentation à l’EXPOsciences de Bruxelles
CARGO CULT SCIENCE by Richard Feynman Adapted from the Caltech commencement address given in 1974. www.lhup.edu

Politicians and teacherss need to review this on a regular basis.
Feynman was such an amazing guy. I wish he were still with us.
@C0nc0rdance The IPCC has an Alien or two on their pay roll, how much proof do you need?
Is Al Gore your man of science?
skeptical is the opposite of gullible. I really enjoyed this clip
Money, Power, and Influence, they are ever present forces that attempt to bend scientific principles. Thank you R. Feyman.
Love Feynman. One of my favorite books is “Surly you’re Joking Mr. Feynman”
Humans are not machines. Feynman was a single minded seeker after the truth, but this is not a common trait. Even scientists are susceptible to coercion. Nazi scientsts “proved” that Jews and blacks were sub-human. You could get peer reviewed documents from the literature.
Science is only as good as the society that produces it.
Feynman’s examples are excellent, Crime and Education are familiar, Medicine and Food are the same. Americans are getting sicker while science tells them what to eat
Wish there was a real recording of this talk.
Seti is a lie that spreads propaganda for their masters who pay them and keep the grants in their favor. Do you really think they would tell you if something more was found? Especially something that would rewrite his-story?
@Octoschizare He is reading out one of Richard Feyman’s lectures. So imagine as if richard feyman is speaking.
Did I heard this properly… you were talking about that psychology student at Cornell and then you said it was in 1947?! Meaning you were already of graduate school at in 1947? You’d have to be probably over 80 years old for that to be correct, and from your voice I figured you’re somewhere in your 30′s… Did you say the wrong year?
send this video to the self-help industry
Cool video, but what’s with that stupid hat?
Now, the rat experimenter…Mr. Young (or Jung, perhaps?)
What was his full name?
Science is hard. I could never be a scientist because it seems so frustrating if you do it right. So many dead ends! I can easily see why so many people cheat in their results just to feel better about all the time they put into it.
I’ll leave science to those people with more tenacity than I have… I’ll stick to literature
Concordance, any plans on reading any Sartre or de Beauvoir?
does any body have this Feynman’s voice ?

This guy sounds like Liquid Snake. Its kinda freaking me out.
Likewise for parapsychology or intelligent design creationism. They go through the motions of science: p-values, pseudopublications, experiments; but they never adhere to the true spirit of science: ruthless self-criticism, skepticism, and a willingness to follow evidence objectively, to risk disproving their own theory.
The analogy to the cargo cults of the S Pacific is very apt. They set up the labs, but the science never comes, and it never will.
@ChristianDefence
Cargo cult science is defined by methodology and philosophy, not by topic. It is the difference between SETI and UFology. SETI is self-critical, falsifying, and guards itself against self-deception or wishful thinking. UFO proponents are looking to confirm, to indulge, to support their own pet theory.
“Post-normal science” (using Kuhn’s term) may be discovered by serendipity, but must undergo the usual scientific testing and falsification to be accepted.
What are people’s opinions about ‘post-normal science’ as a possible skewing of it being a type of ‘cargo cult science’?
good speech, except for the part where I think he goes too far in basically saying that reading education is unscientific.. I now very little about education research, but reading scores could be going down because the good methods aren’t applied broadly enough or because other causes are pushing them down. Also, I suppose many educational scientists would recognise that different methods work best in different children..
@Well, you teacher didn’t have much choice if s/he wanted to keep his/her job. Glad to see that you’re making your own choices!
@Bunji2k6: Sorry, I did not realize. I did not have a science teacher willing/able to read/teach outside of the community norm. Norm meaning the school board and their accepted references. This choice directly affected their students; I was one of them. I chose a more liberal college for my introduction into the real world after HS grad. I was lucky to have that choice.
