Philosophy Wire by Spiros Kakos [2011-03-26]: Japanese scientists were "surprised" to find that the radiation level in the sea near the damaged nuclear plant of Fukosima is elevated well beyond the "proper" levels. What a shock... Water that was used to cool a wrecked nuclear reactor and then spilled again in the sea, contains radiation...(!!!) Science sometimes needs "evidence" to "prove" what the human common sense would tell us in seconds. If we wanted to prove that we live, we would die before science "proved" it...
PS. It is like the debate of whether the Japan earthquake will initialize a "domino" effect for the whole world. Science has yet to "prove" it, but Myanmar is now counting its dead...
