Was ist Fakt, was ist Fiktion? Ein Fakt ist eine wissenschaftlich überprüfbare Tatsache. Eine Meinung hingegen ist das Ergebnis persönlicher Überzeugungen und Ansichten. Aber welche Rolle spielen dann subjektive Deutungen in der Wissenschaft? Und wann wird aus einer Einzelmeinung wissenschaftlicher Konsens? Neurowissenschaftler und Bestsellerautor Jens Foell widmet sich in seinem neuen Buch dem Spannungsfeld von Fakten und Fiktionen in der Naturwissenschaft: Er folgt dem Gang wissenschaftlicher Erkenntnis in Psychologie, Physik, Chemie und Medizin von der Beobachtung über die Hypothesenbildung bis zur Kommunikation.

Brought to you by Penguin. So much relies on science. But what if science itself can’t be relied on? Medicine, education, psychology, health, parenting – wherever it really matters, we look to science for advice. Science Fictions reveals the disturbing flaws that undermine our understanding...

It dawned on me one day that most of the scare stories in the media today are based on things that are either invisible, like CO2 and radiation, or very remote, like polar bears and coral reefs. Thus, the average person cannot observe and verify the truth of these claims for themselves. They must rely on activists, the media, politicians, and scientists - all of whom have a huge financial and/or political interest in the subject - to tell them the truth.

Columbus hat Amerika entdeckt, König Artus war ein edler Ritter und Caesar war ein genialer Feldherr. Es gibt nicht nur Fake News, sondern auch Fake History. Geschichte ist das, was die Mächtigen erzählen. Kaiser, Herrscher, Präsidenten. Sie erzählen von ihren Siegen, Eroberungen und Heldentaten. Kurz, sie erzählen, wie sie selbst gern gesehen werden wollen. So entstehen Mythen, Halbwahrheiten und Lügen. Legenden, die wir glauben, einfach, weil sie uns immer wieder so erzählt werden. Und sich dadurch ins kollektive Bewusstsein eingebrannt haben. Was passiert, wenn man nach den ...

You'd think we were living in the golden age of science and reason. But the truth is far more sinister, says Austin Ruse. We're actually living in the age of the low information voter, easily misled by all-too-convincing false statistics and studies. In Fake Science, Ruse debunks so-called "facts" used to advance political causes one after the other, revealing how poorly they stand up to actual science.

Nell'era della superficilità dell'informazione, in cui imperversano le fake news e al ragionamento critico si antepongono presunzione e ignoranza, la scienza sembra essere sotto attacco. Ma non è che un paradosso, perché mai come oggi la ricerca scientifica è stata così forte e affidabile. Edoardo Boncinelli e Antonio Ereditato, due scienziati italiani in prima linea nei rispettivi campi di indagine – la genetica e la fisica delle particelle –, ci raccontano che la scienza è bellezza, creatività, gioia della ricerca e della scoperta.

Stalin, Mao, Hitler, Mussolini, and other dictators routinely doctored photographs so that the images aligned with their messages. They erased people who were there, added people who were not, and manipulated backgrounds. They knew if they changed the visual record, they could change history. Once, altering images required hours in the darkroom; today, it can be done with a keyboard and mouse. Because photographs are so easily faked, fake photos are everywhere - supermarket tabloids, fashion magazines, political ads, and social media.

Ammettiamolo: la realtà se ne infischia di ciò in cui crediamo. Tuttavia, le nostre convinzioni trasformano il modo in cui percepiamo il mondo. Ma dove nascono e come si diffondono le credenze? Che cosa ci porta a sostenere le idee più insolite o totalmente assurde, a scambiare per prove...

Un chimico e un astrofisico (no, non è l’inizio di una barzelletta) navigano sulla zattera del pensiero scientifico attraverso l’insidioso mare dei media e della comunicazione. Sommerso ogni giorno da una quantità tale di dati, numeri, immagini e opinioni il nostro cervello – già di suo pigro e lontano dall’essere perfetto – rischia costantemente di perdere la rotta. Ma come si fa a impedire questa deriva cerebrale? Come aiutare la nostra mente a trovare punti di riferimento sicuri per attraversare indenne la tempesta del sovraccarico di notizie?

People are used to seeing "fake physics" in science fiction - concepts like faster-than-light travel, antigravity, and time travel to name a few. The fiction label ought to be a giveaway, but some SF writers - especially those with a background in professional science - are so adept at "technobabble" that it can be difficult to work out what is fake and what is real. To confuse matters further, Isaac Asimov's 1948 piece about the fictitious time-traveling substance thiotimoline was written, not as a short story, but in the form of a spoof research paper.

Quando si parla di cibo le nostre scelte sono spesso influenzate da convinzioni che si basano sul fantomatico "sentito dire", sul "a casa mia si è sempre fatto così", o sul bombardamento mediatico della pubblicità o della scienza da bar. Provate a pensarci: quante delle nostre abitudini nel campo dell'alimentazione sono motivate da informazioni attendibili? Troppo poche!

This collection showcases fabricated documents and stories throughout history, and the diversity of purposes and contexts they were deployed in.The "Awful Disclosures of the Hotel Dieu Nunnery of Montreal" is a fabricated anti-Catholic eye-witness account, published in 1836 and purporting to reveal the horrors of life in a convent. The Donation of Constantine is a forged imperial decree, supposedly enacting a perpetual transfer of authority over the western part of the Roman Empire from the emperor to the Pope. George Psalmanazar, who passed himself off as a native of Formosa (Taiwan), wrote a...

Nos están contando otra gran mentira, y ya no hay marcha atrás. No nos han preguntado ni dejado votar al respecto de si queremos asumir las consecuencias de una agenda que parece imparable. Y casi todo el mundo habla de ella asumiendo que es la nueva biblia, y sus predicadores los nuevos dioses. Pero donde hay dioses también hay demonios. A veces, el bien tiene que remangarse y actuar orillando sus razones. A veces, lo que se presenta como el mal es la única salvación, y lo que se presenta como el bien solo es el camino pavimentado de buenas intenciones hacia la esclavitud. Sin moral, sin...

You know that feeling you get when you read something true but just can't believe it? That's the whole point of this show. Every other week, we dig into the best stories from You Gotta Be Freakin' Kidding Me. Peer-reviewed science and mainstream headlines from around the globe that we couldn't have made up if we'd tried. About five minutes. All of it real. None of it believable. We aren't breaking news. It's breaking us. #YGBFKMMusic Credit: "Magic Escape Room" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com).

When does a scientific discovery become accepted fact? Why have scientific facts become easy to deny? And what can we do about it? In The Workshop and the World, philosopher and science historian Robert P. Crease answers these questions by describing the origins of our scientific infrastructure - the “workshop” - and the role of 10 of the world’s greatest thinkers in shaping it. As today’s politicians and government officials increasingly accuse scientists of dishonesty, conspiracy, and even hoaxes, engaged citizens wonder how we got to this level of distrust....
