Climategate: Obama’s Science Adviser Confirms the Scandal — Unintentionally
Anon (15)
Weapons science (nuclear, and non-nuclear) is alive, and it is normally in conjunction with the scientific method, testing, hydrodynamics, computer simulation, quantum mechanics, special – and general relativity, the uncertainty principle, and in the future, if needed, with quantum fluctuations, as well.
That is the case as a rule, but I recall the rigged tests and simulations the Air Force trotted out to prove that the A-10 was both incapable of doing the job it was intended for and not a weapon that improved the Air Force ability to support Army ground forces. Fortunately, the Army and several Congressmen had studies of their own done by impartial groups. They then proceeded to prove exactly how the Air Force had rigged the studies.
So, nothing stays strictly scientific and free of games unless there is sufficient open contention in the field to force the scientific method.
