In Reply to: where's the science? posted by Analog Scott on April 3, 2007 at 09:27:44:
Until academe approves, which it won't until the imbedded resistance to any new idea has died off -- literally.Remember what Lord Kelvin (he of the Royal Society) said: X-rays are a hoax!
Remember the concerted resistance to "continental drift".
Remember the early fate of anaesthesia.
Resistance was not overcome by investigation, because academe doesn't care to have its precious theories challenged. Resistance was overcome by a gathering body of evidence from those goddam independent outsiders.
And so it must be in audio. Look not to the JAES for articles on advances in sound.
