The idea of aliens and UFOs has always played a crucial role in human history. Regardless of the ridicule this mind-set inspires in skeptics, the intense speculation and debate on this topic continues to intrigue around the world. Hundreds have shared detailed personal experiences of contact with these beings or crafts, recounting a wide variety of alien interaction with our world and its peoples. Yet the official explanations-swamp gas, weather balloons, and more-just don't match up with these reports. The "Nonsense" Papers anthology explores these controversial and contemporary issues, considering a wide variety of interrelated topics: - UFOs - Military "black projects" based on alien technology - Former NASA missions (and the possible secrets they hold) - An alternative view on organized religious cults (and how their origin by our creators from the stars) - Environmental issues, including climate change - Time travel - Testimonies from those who offer insight on alien contact - The future and fate of our planet after 2012 This collection also focuses on humanity and culture, examining where we are headed if we continue down our current path. It questions those who plan to "save" humanity by making exaggerated claims and impossible goals and challenges us to analyze and examine ourselves and our society as a whole. It implores humans to use common sense, rationality, and logic as our present life seems void of feelings, dreams, hopes, and desires. Overall, the only way humans can save these precious ideologies is in the discovery of ourselves.

Modern information and communication technologies, together with a cultural upheaval within the research community, have profoundly changed research in nearly every aspect. Ranging from sharing and discussing ideas in social networks for scientists to new collaborative environments and novel publication formats, knowledge creation and dissemination as we know it is experiencing a vigorous shift towards increased transparency, collaboration and accessibility. Many assume that research workflows will change more in the next 20 years than they have in the last 200. This book provides researchers, decision makers, and other scientific stakeholders with a snapshot of the basics, the tools, and the underlying visions that drive the current scientific (r)evolution, often called ‘Open Science.’

In 1996 physicist Alan Sokal published an essay in Social Text--an influential academic journal of cultural studies--touting the deep similarities between quantum gravitational theory and postmodern philosophy. Soon thereafter, the essay was revealed as a brilliant parody, a catalog of nonsense written in the cutting-edge but impenetrable lingo of postmodern theorists. The event sparked a furious debate in academic circles and made the headlines of newspapers in the U.S. and abroad. In Fashionable Nonsense: Postmodern Intellectuals' Abuse of Science, Sokal and his fellow physicist Jean Bricmont expand from where the hoax left off. In a delightfully witty and clear voice, the two thoughtfully and thoroughly dismantle the pseudo-scientific writings of some of the most fashionable French and American intellectuals. More generally, they challenge the widespread notion that scientific theories are mere "narrations" or social constructions.

Over the past two years a pandemic has gripped the planet in fear with lockdowns, restrictions, and a transition into a unknown future with transhumanism at its helm. While the flow of information has been heavily censored and controlled by a new "fact checker" system, humanity seemingly is only getting one side of the story. The SARS-Cov2 has been manipulated by the mass media keeping people locked in their homes afraid to go out. Controversial theories including this virus being imaginary and that the virus was engineered to control the world population are at the helm of the argument. Part one of the third installment of the series questions the state of humanity's future and the fate of our very race with our environmental habits, vaccines and their supposed purpose, what it means to be human and our beliefs. Has humanity reached its zenith? With the 2030 agenda pushed by the United Nations and their praise for what some are calling the "scamdemic/plandemic" as a means of starting over, is humanity to begin what most are calling the Great Reset? Is the next stage in our evolution dominated by RFID implanted chips, vaccine passports with the promise of returning to a "normal life," and a biotechnology? The horizon in humanity's future seems mysterious and hidden.

Recent polls suggest that fewer than 40 percent of Americans believe in Darwin’s theory of evolution, despite it being one of science’s best-established findings. More and more parents are refusing to vaccinate their children for fear it causes autism, though this link can been consistently disproved. And about 40 percent of Americans believe that the threat of global warming is exaggerated, despite near consensus in the scientific community that manmade climate change is real. Why do people believe bunk? And what causes them to embrace such pseudoscientific beliefs and practices? Noted skeptic Massimo Pigliucci sets out to separate the fact from the fantasy in this entertaining exploration of the nature of science, the borderlands of fringe science, and—borrowing a famous phrase from philosopher Jeremy Bentham—the nonsense on stilts. Presenting case studies on a number of controversial topics, Pigliucci cuts through the ambiguity surrounding science to look more closely at how science is conducted, how it is disseminated, how it is interpreted, and what it means to our society. The result is in many ways a “taxonomy of bunk” that explores the intersection of science and culture at large. No one—not the public intellectuals in the culture wars between defenders and detractors of science nor the believers of pseudoscience themselves—is spared Pigliucci’s incisive analysis. In the end, Nonsense on Stilts is a timely reminder of the need to maintain a line between expertise and assumption. Broad in scope and implication, it is also ultimately a captivating guide for the intelligent citizen who wishes to make up her own mind while navigating the perilous debates that will affect the future of our planet.
