A big blunder has occurred in the educational, intellectual, and other fields as a result of misunderstandings and false claims about the scientific method. This is causing billions of dollars of harm to the country, as the scientific method is also the complete method of creative problem solving and decision making for all fields, including our personal lives. It is the basic method by which we originate, refine, extend, and apply knowledge in all fields.
The author challenges our top educational leaders with an offer to pay them $100,000 if they can prove wrong his claim that a big educational and intellectual blunder has occurred. What will the response of our top educators be?
The author is the founder (retired) of the former Edmund Scientific Co., familiar to millions of people with an interest in science. Since his retirement, he has spent 15 years of full-time specialized research of the scientific method.
To illustrate the blunder, the author shows how a large group of our top educational leaders follows an erroneous authoritative opinion that the scientific method does not exist. They have not included it in any national educational reform program or required educational researchers to use it. This has caused many of the situations that have made the public so dissatisfied with education.
In contrast, the author shows how the literature predominately supports the existence of the scientific method. Thus, most people have heard of the scientific method but do not know that there is a dispute about its existence.
The book will be important reading for all those interested in better education, better thinking, and a better society.
Norman Edmund’s storied business career began in 1942 in a bedroom in his mother’s apartment with $300 and a $9 classified ad. When he retired 33 years later, the internationally renowned Edmund Scientific Co. in Barrington, NJ occupied 69,000 square feet and distributed a million catalogs a year.
For 15 years after his retirement, Edmund conducted specialized research of the scientific method. He spent more than $2.5 million in expenditures and time, including the purchase of more than 3,000 books. He has filled more than 16 file cabinets with relevant material. Having perhaps conducted more research into the topic than anyone else alive today, he uncovered a glaring mistake - “the blunder” - concerning academic and educational misunderstandings of the scientific method.
His effort to promote interest in science has been praised by many, including legendary astronomer Carl Sagan and the pilot of Apollo 8, William Anders.
