Example of our scientific foolishness! Note: Please go on add the examples of scientific foolishness of this egoistic material world.
The entire scientific world knows that brain and spinal cord constitute the central nervous system. The brain contains some 50 billions nerve cells, or neurons. Each neuron is linked to thousands of others. Tiny electrical signals pass through this vast network, carrying human thoughts and memories. Nerve signals also come into the brain from nerves all over the body, and go out from the brain to the muscles. A nerve signal is a tiny pulse of electricity that travels very fast, almost 100 meters per second along a nerve cell.
When there is flow electricity in every human body do we need earthing or not? Why have we disconnected ourselves from earthing? When there is tension in mind earthing is a must. Otherwise we may witness brain haemorrhage. Even the computer cannot properly function without earthing. Then what about a human being? The shoe that we wear, the roads that we build, the house where we live, and the tall buildings that we construct… everywhere we have insulated ourselves from earthing. What development we have done in this world when we cannot understand the minute law of earthing?
Our sincere call to the world is to end this illusive journey. Now, there is an immediate need to do a soul searching. We need a new beginning to raise the world unto the infinite height of the absolute science. We must realize that inventions and discoveries are an outcome of unselfish people’s selfless mind. Let us give justice to them by elevating the world into a new height by digesting the true value of science. Let us usher in a new legend of renaissance in the world. Without violating the natural laws of cosmic creation, let us re-construct the world into an innovative height, so that at least the future generations can enjoy the true glory and the infinite happiness of life.

I truly think this is a very bad topic.
Not that I don't want to discuss errors of science, or see how foolish mistakes scientists can make.
But the undertone is an utter misconception of science. And it seems that scientific materialism gets confused with economical materialism.
* Science does not say we must be selfish. On the contrary: we find that collaboration is beneficial, and is even increasing during history (read the "Rational Optimist")
Your final paragraph is exactly where applied science can serve to the fullest.

Pre-Baconian:
Surgeons and doctors were naive enough to believe men had one less rib than women for nearly 1500 years because of the story about it in the Bible. It was not until Andreas Vesalius championed true anatomy and gave lectures on dissecting cadavers in his University that Human Anatomy became a real endeavor. His book "De humani corporis fabrica " was published in 1543 the same year as Copernicus'.(also he debunked the idea about any sort of thought emanating from the heart, though of course we still use the metaphor today.)
Post-Baconian:
For me it has to be Cartesian Dualism, and not just the Idea because of course he didn't know then what we know now. It was his description of the process by which the "soul" entered the pineal gland(simply because the pineal gland is a crevasse in the center of the brain.) which I can't help but laugh at. He made the assertion with no regard to how he believed the intangible soul enters the brain, or where exactly it came from or how it followed the brain around.

IEC terminology|
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthing_system#IEC_terminology
International standard IEC 6036 distinguishes three families of earthing arrangements, using the two-letter codes TN, TT, and IT. The first letter indicates the connection between earth and the power-supply equipment (generator or transformer):
T : direct connection of a point with earth (French: terre);
I : no point is connected with earth (isolation), except perhaps via a high impedance.
The second letter indicates the connection between earth and the electrical device being supplied:
T : direct connection with earth, independent of any other earth connection in the supply system;
N : connection to earth via the supply network.

The legacy of science is finer and finer measurement - not explanation, not enlightenment.
Scientific "advancement" is akin to digging in the sand; the only real outcome is that the hole gets bigger..
Ben Jarvis 50+
if i tell you my name are you disappointed because now you know, the mystery as to what my name could be no longer exists?
i disagree completely, the aim of science is to understand, then use this knowledge to make improvements, then try to understand the next mystery that has unfolded as a result of the discovery.
to continue your digging analogy - not so, we must develop ways to support the sides of our hole as we go down, and we learn that there are other soil types under the sand and pass that mystery on to the geologists so they can work out why sand doesn't continue all the way to the core.

I recognise the knowledge collected through the application of the scientific method and its importance to the improving of many facets of existence.
I also understand the enjoyment some folk get from refining details.
Ultimately, for me, science is the measuring of the material world and gives me, personally, very little in the way of inspiration or fulfillment.
I still believe that scientific discoveries are not objective truths we discover, rather they are finding ways to rationally explain what we always expected to find in the most consistent way possible. Nothing awe-inspiring or gob-smacking in that.

and also realize that already nature has rejected the illusionist theory of gravity. Now, pseudo scientists are telling that gravity is a weak force. Weak force or strong force but there should be a hypothesized particle GRAVITON.
Nevertheless, in the area 51 everyone knows that the entire universe stands and moves on the electromagnetic force and its quantum tunneling system. Already levitating globe and other materials are already available entered the market which materially rejects the gravity. In the area 51 some of the hidden hands that controls the world and its financial system are already developed electromagnetic weapon but they are not ready to release this eternal secret that disclosed by the Nikola Tesla for their personal growth. They know very well that people are fools and what we teach them through the curriculum nonsense, they believe. This area 51 gang has dev eloped several electromagnetic weapon which can even to generate earthquake, tsunami and so on.

You are misreading my message - science has not explained the universe, life and existence at all - it is simply a powerful, methodical measuring tool. Enlightenment is not the acquisition of more facts, so I'm not sure why you believe science has enlightened us (although, this is really an argument about semantics).
I am also intelligent enough to know when my opinions are my opinions and when they should be kept to myself - especially if there is a chance I may pass them on to a student.
I also understand that people believe very different things. I think you could probably still find more than a few folk who believe in many things that science simply refuses to acknowledge because it has no ability to measure or explain them (conveniently blaming a lack of evidence).
These things make me an excellent teacher - I teach science to the science-minded. I teach language skills to the writer and speakers. I try to foster open-mindedness whenever I can but that is the hardest one of all as often, people like to pick one team and only root for them.
I'm not sure that it is me with closed mind here, Richard..

It was a question about something and Scott said I dont know I wasn't there. I replied that is an extraordinary statement. You were not there for the Christchurch earthquakes, the Pike river mine disaster, well nigh everything we read in the papers or see in the news. If we only know that which we witness personally we pretty much know nothing. Not even that the world is round.
And Scott you cant enthuse kids about science by faking it.
Scott Armstrong 50+
I'll reiterate again for those people who skim read previous comments - I'm a professional and I keep my opinions separate from my job, even when I feel very strongly that I am right.
Also, I'm beginning to see that my mind operates differently from yours, Rich. Perhaps I'm more artist than academic.
Richard Dawson 30+
But so far as science is concerned my views and understanding are clear.
You say “science has not explained the universe, life and existence at all”. I disagree. It has explained them in a far better way than any belief or faith has.
"I think you could probably still find more than a few folk who believe in many things that science simply refuses to acknowledge because it has no ability to measure or explain them (conveniently blaming a lack of evidence)"
Belief in something without evidence is faith. I dont know what you mean by "refuses to acknowledge"? Science deals in probabilities not absolutes. Like if you say science “does not believe in the Loch Ness monster”, what science actually says is the Loch Ness monster probably doesn’t exist. It says that because of the lack of evidence of its existence.
This is not a “convenient blame” to not acknowledging the monster. It would believe it if someone produced some evidence of it, which hasn’t been refuted. Science is impartial in its beliefs. It doesn’t “refuse to acknowledge” despite evidence. People of faith on the other hand refuse to give up their belief despite evidence to the contrary.

Creationism was mentioned earlier by another TEDder and I get just as angry at that kind of psuedo science as any thinking person and I can't say enough how much I disagree with that particular pile. Thankfully this doesn't seem to be an issue in NZ schools (at least, that I'm aware of).
To refer to your Loch Ness Monster example, let's just say, I want to believe but find that I can't until presented with irrefutable proof. Preferably 1st hand proof. You know how I feel about 2nd and 3rd hand reports..
Scott Armstrong 50+
I have always found the idea of 'signs' interesting, you know when someone interprets some (often random) event as having meaning or divine significance. I can't help but think that is exactly when your statement comes into play. Badly wanting to believe, people are more inclined to see faces in their cereal.
I can also see how a series of coincidences might lead someone to believe in something that isn't real - Joan of Arc, for example.
The idea of aliens, for example, fires my imagination, but I cannot believe in them because there is absolutely no objective evidence for their existence. Far more likely to be a misinterpretation on the part of the observer than actual ET life, or like you say, the product of a desperate desire to believe.
Having said that, I try to keep a part of myself open to any possibilities. The universe is vast and we still haven't got much of a handle on it.

In these days of internet and information access, more and more, teaching is moving away from pure content and more towards the processes behind learning and discovery, and the skills necessary to be an effective researcher.
The trend in NZ schools is moving towards teaching a process - Inquiry, SOLO taxonomy -where kids are taught to follow a series of steps designed to aid in the discovery of information, asking useful questions, verifying the validity of information (especially important in the internet age as there are a lot opinions out there, as this thread alone has proven) and reflecting on what we know and have discovered.
Faith can be a powerful thing - in both positive and negative ways - but I believe it is something that must be taught at home, or by the church. It has no place in the classroom, in my opinion, and although we have Bible in Schools programmes running in many NZ schools, thankfully I have never had to deliver them - I would find that next to impossible to teach. Way too many inconsistencies and questions.
I teach at primary level and it is very funny hearing some of the kids' questions and the Bible teacher's attempts to answer such innocent, direct questions about something even the preachers are vague about.

TT network
In a TT earthing system, the protective earth connection of the consumer is provided by a local connection to earth, independent of any earth connection at the generator.
The big advantage of the TT earthing system is the fact that it is clear of high and low frequency noises that come through the neutral wire from various electrical equipment connected to it. This is why TT has always been preferable for special applications like telecommunication sites that benefit from the interference-free earthing. Also, TT does not have the risk of a broken neutral.
In locations where power is distributed overhead and TT is used, installation earth conductors are not at risk should any overhead distribution conductor be fractured by, say, a fallen tree or branch.
In pre-RCD era, the TT earthing system was unattractive for general use because of its worse capability of accepting high currents in case of a live-to-PE short circuit (in comparison with TN systems). But as residual current devices mitigate this disadvantage, the TT earthing system becomes attractive for premises where all AC power circuits are RCD-protected.

You have laid out plenty of sources for people to check out on their own and come to their own conclusions. So I hope that anyone reading this does go to your links, because it will soon become obvious that the whole idea of 'earthing' yourself has in any way some form of health benefit is false. I'm not here to try and convince you to disregard your beliefs, so I won't try. What I will do is provide a few sources that will lead to an understanding of science and the true nature of reality.
Thank you for the conversation sir.

Do you know how many scientists these illusionist scientific world killed? Gravity does not have any place in Maxwell and Tesla's world of discovery. The entire universe stand and moves based on omnipotent power of the electromagnetic force, not based on Newton's Apple Theory.

Field theories
When he was 81, Tesla stated he had completed a "dynamic theory of gravity". He stated that it was "worked out in all details" and that he hoped to soon give it to the world.[75] The theory was never published.
The bulk of the theory was developed between 1892 and 1894, during the period that he was conducting experiments with high frequency and high potential electromagnetism and patenting devices for their use. Reminiscent of Mach's principle, Tesla stated in 1925 that:
Nikola Tesla, with Ruđer Bošković's book Theoria Philosophiae Naturalis, sits in front of the spiral coil of his high-frequency transformer at East Houston Street, New York.
There is no thing endowed with life—from man, who is enslaving the elements, to the nimblest creature—in all this world that does not sway in its turn. Whenever action is born from force, though it be infinitesimal, the cosmic balance is upset and the universal motion results.
Tesla was critical of Einstein's relativity work, calling it:
...[a] magnificent mathematical garb which fascinates, dazzles and makes people blind to the underlying errors. The theory is like a beggar clothed in purple whom ignorant people take for a king ... its exponents are brilliant men but they are metaphysicists rather than scientists ...[76]

Tesla also argued:
I hold that space cannot be curved, for the simple reason that it can have no properties. It might as well be said that God has properties. He has not, but only attributes and these are of our own making. Of properties we can only speak when dealing with matter filling the space. To say that in the presence of large bodies space becomes curved is equivalent to stating that something can act upon nothing. I, for one, refuse to subscribe to such a view.[77]
Tesla also believed that much of Albert Einstein's relativity theory had already been proposed by Ruđer Bošković, stating in an unpublished interview:
...the relativity theory, by the way, is much older than its present proponents. It was advanced over 200 years ago by my illustrious countryman Ruđer Bošković, the great philosopher, who, not withstanding other and multifold obligations, wrote a thousand volumes of excellent literature on a vast variety of subjects. Bošković dealt with relativity, including the so-called time-space continuum ...'.[78]
