A re-upload of Rupert Sheldrake's TEDx talk The Science Delusion, which TED removed from its channel. He challenges what he calls the dogmas of modern science, including whether fundamental constants are constant.
Why Hacker News points people here: Recommended by some as a provocative critique of scientific dogma, and also cited as the talk TED pulled.
“his points about fundamental "constants" changing, and the metrologists' dogmatic (really, anti-scientific) response, are worth pondering.”HN comment, 2017

Sheldrake TED talk on dogmas of modern science

Sheldrake on changing fundamental constants
An interesting (banned) TEDx talk by Rupert Sheldrake, one part on the changing "fundamental constants", starting here: this video The other parts are a bit "woo" and I'm sure would be laughed at by the HN crowd. But his points about fundamental "constants" changing, and the metrologists' dogmatic (really, anti-scientific) response, are worth pondering.
“then later he gave a talk called "The Science Delusion" which got banned from TED”
