Скачать или смотреть Hidden & Forbidden Tech: What Science is Allowed to Study?

Explore the social, psychological, and ethical forces that define what science is allowed to study. Hidden and Forbidden Science reveals how paradigms, institutions, and power structures shape the pursuit of truth — and why progress often begins beyond permission. Welcome to this rigorous scientific lecture on forbidden or hidden science and technologies, exploring the vast landscape of classified research. We examine the `psychology` of secrecy, where the public's understanding of progress can feel like `gaslighting` by those who control information. This `narcissist`-like withholding of knowledge creates `scary stories` about what lies beneath the surface, impacting societal `mental health` by fostering distrust. Hidden and forbidden science is less about secret “magic” and more about how scientific ideas move from impossible to plausible to proven. This video examines why some hypotheses get filtered out early (lack of falsifiable predictions, weak evidence, or methodological flaws), while other ideas are resisted for social reasons (funding, reputation, peer-review conservatism, and human bias). The core message is a balance: curiosity without gullibility, and skepticism without dogma. You will see how “normal science” works inside Kuhn-style paradigms, why anomalies often get ignored until evidence becomes overwhelming, and how Popper’s falsifiability draws a hard boundary between bold science and pseudoscience. The episode also touches modern controversy zones (cold fusion, quantum consciousness, parapsychology, UFO propulsion claims) and makes an important distinction: rejection is not automatically refutation, but extraordinary claims still require extraordinary evidence. It ends with the ethics of restricted knowledge, where “forbidden” can mean dangerous rather than suppressed.

What you will learn:
What “forbidden science” really means: social filtering vs scientific refutation
Kuhn’s paradigms and why revolutions are rare and messy
Historical cases where correct ideas were dismissed (Semmelweis, Wegener) and why
How peer review, funding, and careers create inertia against risky ideas
The psychology of anomalies: confirmation bias and the comfort of certainty
The demarcation problem: how to separate unconventional science from pseudoscience
Popper’s falsifiability: the minimum requirement for a scientific claim
Why controversy topics persist: ambiguity, weak signals, and poor replication
Corporate and institutional incentives that shape what gets studied
Why “hidden” can also be ethical: restricting genuinely dangerous knowledge
How to evaluate fringe claims responsibly: predictions, controls, replication, transparency
