NSF #GreenBankTelescope Gets Critical Makeover: https://public.nrao.edu/news/painting-the-giant-nsf-green-bank-telescope-gets-critical-makeover/ - repainting of telescope feed arm marks a major milestone in a multi-year project to protect the world’s largest fully steerable radio telescope.
In *Leviathan and the Air Pump*, S Shapin recounts the 1600s controversy between Hobbes, who held that true knowledge always originates in pure solipsistic reasoning (“ratiocination”) and Boyle, who argued that knowledge required external confirmation via physical evidence. We’re still at it.
Privileged psyches in particular hate giving up on the idea that what they conclude on their own, without checking it by the world, is true.
