Comment on Can a reasonable person genuinely believe in ghosts?
ageedizzle@piefed.ca 2 weeks agoThis is literally the same justification the church gave to Galileo when they refused to look through his telescope. His discoveries violated what they thought to be the laws of physics at the time, so they knew he was wrong and therefore was no need to even look fo themselves.

Does the book posit new laws of physics, or even call into question the current set? That’s what Gallileo did, but the promotional copy for the book doesn’t suggest that it does.

That‘S not what Galileo did. Newton is the one who eventually came up with the new laws is physics that explained Galileo’s findings.
