General Sources

The scientific method is, to me, one of the best ways of thinking, a triumph of humanity. The basis of it is the abandonment of the idea of an unchanging dogma and of followers who blindly accept said dogma.
The scientific method requires informed individuals willing to probe and test any knowledge presented to them. This created a feedback loop among communities of people discussing, analyzing and perfecting knowledge.
It has been my wish, since I started this podcast, to be as open and direct with you regarding the sources I use. That is way I created this section that will be dedicated to list my sources and also link them whenever possible. There is an immense amount of free material in Internet and by providing the links to you I hope it will be useful to put more fuel in the fire of your curiosity or will give you the ability to check whatever I say in the podcast.
Hope you enjoy toying around all this material… I know I did!
