Cargo cult science is an expression used to designate what is also known as pseudo-science. The physicist Richard Feynman first used this term during his famous speech at the California Institute of Technology in 1974 He used this term to make an analogy with the cult of cargo planes in the South Seas During the war, the islanders saw airplanes carrying numerous useful goods land along the paths, they build a wooden hut where a man sits with two pieces of wood on his head mimicking a helmet and bamboo sticks as antennas - he is the air traffic controller - and they wait for the planes to land The method is perfect They followed the fundamental principle of causality according to which the same cause always produces the same effect and reproduces the same conditions as the war, but no plane landed. This is the mechanism of pseudo-science in which the formal of true scientific research is satisfied but does not produce the expected results because the pseudo-science is not true. science. They have the appearance of science but lack the substance. You could even say he lacks honesty and integrity. Richard Feynman emphasizes the need for an honest experimental method in science. The purpose of the scientific method is to provide explanations to better understand a phenomenon through a process that requires hypotheses to be verified through observation, rigorous measurement, and rigorous testing. Therefore, the very validity of the scientific process is based on the intellectual honesty of researchers. The intellectual honesty that Richard Feynman refers to is similar to but not limited to… middle of paper… the fact that the easiest person to deceive is ourselves. Scientific research is a profitable business today; companies and business groups are trying to develop the next technology that will generate billions in profits. Any research that does not have direct, marketable applications is considered useless and rarely funded. Publishing their work in scientific journals and receiving awards gives scientists notoriety and status and provides them with further discoveries. All these factors sometimes push scientists to deny their personal beliefs and abandon their intellectual honesty and personal integrity. A true scientist, even when working to improve the condition of humanity, should isolate himself from the materialistic considerations and passions of our societies, it is only at that price that he will be able to practice science and not a load of cult..
