Lyme disease is a tickborne disease caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi in which antibiotics are the standard treatment. However, this type of treatment is not always effective and relapses occur.

Researchers in Connecticut have been studying the use of Stevia for the treatment of Lyme disease as an alternative to routine antibiotics.

Dear Readers, Relax, this is not going to be a heavy-duty chemical lecture!

As you may have read in the news, the herbicide Roundup™ inventing company Monsanto had been bought by the company that invented the medicinal compound Aspirin™, i.e. the Bayer AG, back in 2018. Roundup is said to be the world’s most widely used herbicide.

It’s not immediately clear, to the layman, what the essential difference is between science and something masquerading as science: pseudoscience. The distinction gets at the core of what comprises human knowledge: How do we actually know something to be true? Is it simply because our powers of observation tell us so? Or is there more to it?

The U.S. Navy is drafting new guidelines for pilots and other employees to report encounters with “unidentified aircraft.”

Question:  Was the SURFRAD project originally designed to measure the Diffuse Solar radiation on our planet’s surface? I conclude ‘probably not.’ I explain why below.

New book on cosmology declares: “The universe is infinite; the motions of matter are predominantly cyclical.”

At Principia Scientific International we pride ourselves on providing a platform for our readers to debate and discuss some of the more contentious ideas in science.

In that regard we have pleasure in highlighting Glenn Borchardt’s book, ‘Infinite Universe Theory’ recently made available to purchase as an ebook.

For the past 30 years, there has been an orchestrated alarm over how much a trace of a trace gas, human-produced carbon dioxide (CO2), impacts earth’s climate.

The idea was presented as the ‘settled science’ and that there exists a ‘greenhouse effect’ in Earth’s atmosphere and that CO2 ‘traps heat’ or ‘delays cooling’.
