Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in an age of trusting the “experts.” But what happens when the so-called experts are wrong…and their misinformation is allowing us to destroy ourselves? In Science Myths We Tell Ourselves, William Barbat demonstrates the incorrect reasoning behind “facts” we have been taught, including the Big Bang, instant creation, continental drift, and spreading sea floors. Skeptics’ assertions that the climate is not changing are disproven by Barbat’s update of his 1973 climate study, which definitively proves that the world’s desert belts are expanding poleward, like the expansion of the Sahara Desert of North Africa, which ended the Ice Age. The recent drought in the midcontinental US, and the pervasive droughts in California and Brazil may be previews of climate disasters brought on by mankind, unless we can halt climate change by rethinking our energy protocols. We’ve been told that energy cannot be created in nature, or by man…but the stunning central thesis of Science Myths We Tell Ourselves is that the “law” on which this belief is based (Helmholtz’s Energy Conservation Law) is completely untrue—in fact, it was rejected as “metaphysics” in 1847 by the Berlin Physics Society. Scientists unwilling to examine the facts continue to propagate this misinformation while ignoring the potential for unlimited, non-polluting energy from low-mass electrons. This enlightening and fascinating book will challenge what you think you know, as well as providing hope and direction for a different future.
