PHONEY THEORRIES IN SCIENCE

PHONEY THEORIES IN SCIENCE The number of books being published by amateur writers and “scientists” in Malayalam is enormous. One scientist has collected data regarding the quantity of coal being burnt every day, and suggested that the mass of the earth is decreasing at an alarming rate! That the carbon dioxide formed by burning coal, is absorbed by vegetation growing on the earth, which adds to the mass of the earth, did not strike his mind. It is like water evaporating from the oceans and coming back as rain! Another writer says the green light from the sun is the basis of all life on earth. He forgets that the green leaves of plants absorb all other colours and rejects the green; that is why we see this light. Bacteria and planktons can develop, in the absence of any light from the Sun! I casually saw two books. The number of such theories is enormous!
