Mysticism, occultism, supernatural, paranormal.

All these things are basically worthless unless and until we can discover the science behind them.

It was worthless for the ancients to Ooooh and Aaaah at lightening. Real knowledge began to become assimilated when Franklin flew his kite.


My boy, you must not get too carried away in the sweep of your own rhetoric. You have drawn an analogy so full of holes that one could
drive the proverbial truck through it.

Turning to the interesting part of your statement, does worth have to be tangible in some way? Must it accord with hard science?

Putting the question another way, string theory may be pure hokum, but it offers what I consider to be worthwhile effort to comprehend and explain the universe. Do you disagree?
