Noticing that I am getting no response from readers on this message
board, I have decided to make use of it to post personal comments on
the current problem with a lack of professional ethics that seems to
have become a well-entrenched feature of the scientific establishment
these days, and how this is affecting the physics community.

The problem is complicated, and it is unclear as to what can be done to
solve it, but the situation seems to be most especially exacerbated by
the influence of the corporate greed that is having such an adverse
impact on practically every aspect of our lives in modern times, not
just a terribly corrupting influence on the sciences.

The reason this applies to the effort of establishing a Data Proto-Core
on which we can base a valid Interdiscipline Synthesis Cosmology (ISC)
is that it is hampering the kind of new and innovative thinking, and
limiting the research time, that is needed to get the job done.

There is a real need for speed, in this respect, but the scientific
community is dominated by efforts that revolve around chasing money,
which requirement our government and corporate interests have imposed
upon us because they tend only to be interested in supporting research
and development projects that promise huge financial rewards, while the
creation of an ISC offers only intellectual rewards.

And, make no mistake, taxpayer-supplied but bureaucratcially controlled
funding dollars and coroporate inspired monetary gain is what matters
most in this climate - not the humanitarian quest for increasing our
understanding of the natural world (unless there is profit in it).

So, for readers interested in such subjects, I will be posting opinions
as to what is wrong with the current state of affairs in the sciences
in general, and with the physics community in particular, along with
suggestions on what can be done with only unfunded research (i.e.,
thinkers working on ideas in their spare time, at their own expense).

Readers are invited to post their own opinions at will.
