Picture of the day

Trillium erectum, the red trillium, is a species of flowering plant in the family Melanthiaceae. It is a spring ephemeral plant whose life-cycle is synchronized with that of the forests in which it lives. It is native to the eastern United States and eastern Canada from northern Georgia to Quebec and New Brunswick. Like all trilliums, it has a whorl of three bracts (leaves) and a single trimerous flower with three sepals, three petals, two whorls of three stamens each, and three carpels (fused into a single ovary with three stigmas). It is a perennial plant that persists by means of an underground rhizome. Trillium erectum has carrion-scented flowers that produce fetid or putrid odors purported to attract carrion fly and beetle pollinators. This T. erectum flower was photographed in Stephen's Gulch Conservation Area in Ontario, Canada.Photograph credit: The Cosmonaut

Burden of Proof

In cases where prevailing opinion lies in one direction, people with minority viewpoints inevitably have the burden of proof thrust upon them.

Outlook

DocJohnny is a Materialist. Materialism stresses the essence of fundamental particles. Everything that exists is purely physical matter and there is no special force that holds life together. You believe that anything can be explained by breaking it up into its pieces. i.e. the big picture can be understood by its smaller elements.

Barnstars etc

The Ruben Pseudoscience Barnstar (risks toppling off a drooping flat earth). For heroic defence of reality against those who would impose the pseudoscience of their belief system in - Electroconvulsive therapy.

Not just about ensuring SPOV, NPOV or reverting vandalism, but citing & verifying to defend against trivial, but highly vocal, minority viewpoints who often eloquently argue & post large number of references, most of which are selectively misquoted, do not draw the claimed conclusions or are anecdotal reports rather than null-hypothesis statistically-vetted duplicable-research.
