I had GROK analyze this blog

(when copy and paste from X, bold is shown as ###, bullet points are _**, and I don't feel like editing to make it appear correctly on this blog) I’ve explored the blog at https://evidence-based-science.blogspot.com/. Here’s a detailed description based on its content and structure: ### Overview The blog, titled "Evidence Based Science," appears to be a platform dedicated to examining scientific…

After 17.5 years of writing on this blog ...

With 200 "articles", or blog posts, I feel like I have been slacking off of late. My other blogs have received far more attention and effort. The good news? Nobody cares. Is any of that scientific? Much less evidence based science? No. No it is not. OK maybe the number of blog posts, that can be counted. All the rest is opinion, belief, my view, my take. But in reality, so much of what makes us…

Large Language Models are not Artificial Intelligence

After extensive testing with unlimited time and bandwidth, I can say at the moment these models are not even close. While trying to get a novel or creative response, an A.I. came up with "Fancy word-shuffler" to describe itself. Which apparently is an original term. It's not found on the internet .

I asked GROK what Evidence Based Science is

Evidence-based science is the process of making scientific claims and conclusions based on rigorous, systematic, and objective evidence, typically derived from well-designed experiments, observations, or studies. It emphasizes: Empirical Data : Relying on measurable, reproducible results rather than speculation or anecdotal reports. Scientific Method : Using controlled experiments, peer-reviewed…

David Gorski and Methodolatry

Found this from October 2009 “Methodolatry”: My new favorite term for one of the shortcomings of evidence-based medicine https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/methodolatry_my_new_favorite_term/ Methodolatry : The profane worship of the randomized clinical trial as the only valid method of investigation.

How can you know what is real?

The essential question of science, and evidence. A place holder post for now.

The polar vortex and the weather

If you know how to use https://earth.nullschool.net/ You can know more about the global climate/weather than most people on the planet! You can watch the polar vortex You can literally see how the world weather works, even in advance Nov 18 surface temperatures And the polar vortex "causing" it

Meteors and returning space craft don't heat up because of friction with the air

The heating occurs due to the object compressing the atmosphere (air) in front of it. A fast moving object (over Mach 3) compresses air because the air can't move out of the way, which causes the compressed air to heat up. Anytime you compress a gas in an enclosed space it heats up. (the opposite is also true) It is the very hot air that glows, (it actually becomes a plasma), and the heat from…

Water vapour is a clear and colourless gas, it can't be seen by the naked eye.

seriously This is wrong https://www.americanexperiment.org/youre-seeing-water-vapor-not-smoke/ Certainly they are trying to fix some wrong and confusing info But it is still wrong This is correct https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/303804/how-are-water-vapors-not-visibl e

Humans have DMT naturally occurring in the brain, blood and urine

N, N-Dimethyltryptamine (DMT), an Endogenous Hallucinogen: Past, Present, and Future Research to Determine Its Role and Function The Hallucinogen N,N -Dimethyltryptamine (DMT) Is an Endogenous Sigma-1 Receptor Regulator Among the presenters was Dr Ede Frecska, who spoke about how DMT has been found to bind to the sigma-1 receptor, which is found throughout the body. This receptor plays a key role…

Update on "The plural of anecdote is data"

Still no hits for the claim "seeing something or experiencing it is not proof enough to believe in it" Here's the phrase in context Everyone has heard the age-old dismissal of “I’ll believe it when I see it.” If you are or ever were a budding skeptic, this may have been your motto at one time. Unfortunately, seeing something or experiencing it is not proof enough to believe in it . Personal…

The term "Evidence based science" has caught on

When I started this blog there were no more than a dozen instances on Google search of the term. Now there are thousands. The evidence for this s hard to present, because "evidence-based science" was being used, which shows up differently than the verbatim search.

Shout out to Jim Steele

Jim Steele is an actual evidence based science person, and this is just a shout out to him. I have no peer reviewed papers to support my assertion. He however, has a lot of interesting science to publish.

Now the word "run" has the most meanings

"Run" currently is the word with the most different meanings. The verb-form alone has no fewer than 645 meanings and Peter Gilliver worked for more than nine months to work out all of them. source NY Times online Online look at the word As a child I would read the dictionary, Yes, I was that kid. I noticed some words filled pages with the different definitions, and once tried to find the word that…

Is it possible to know something? About the global temperature data?

In the comments section on WUWT there is this graph , showing anomalies for Tmax and Tmin, globally, since 1940. Is it possible to confirm this information? And what would it mean? The questions I ask are as follows. Is the graph real? Can it be reproduced by anyone? What data is used? If those are satisfied, so that it actually represents a data analysis, what does it mean?

It does not snow more when it is warm

However, you might see somebody trying to say the opposite. An amazing, though clearly little-known, scientific fact: We get more snow storms in warm years!
