Abstract

I have been invited to make a short comment on an essay by Brian Josephson. My comment will be more general, in the sense that what I have to say can be seen as a critique of science as it is done since the closure of Plato Academy in Athens about 1500 years ago. This comment is also inspired by Brian Josephson’s talk ”Which Way for Physics” easily accessible on the Net.
