Stepping stones seem to lead to the Milky Way as it stretches across this little sky. Of course, the scene is really the northern hemisphere’s autumnal equinox night. Water and sky are inverted by a top to bottom, around the horizon stereographic projection centered on the zenith above Lake Storsjön in Jämtland, Sweden. In the north the Milky Way arcs from east to west overhead as fall begins, but the season is also a good time for viewing aurora. Geomagnetic storms increase in frequency near the equinox and produce remarkable displays of northern lights at high latitudes, like the eerie greenish glow reflected in this watery cosmos.

Daryl Cunningham’s graphic novel (comic book) deals with „science denial“, the phenomenon where people consciously ignore scientific truths. The climate change sceptics, the homeopaths, the healers that fight cancer with chiropractic moves and the idiots that doubt evolution in favour of intelligent design (amongst whom George W., a.k.a. Bush 42) are obvious examples. The strength of this comic book is: Cunningham shows how these fake theories were started by often corrupt „researchers“ that took money from lobbyists and falsified the research data to fit the desired conclusion. Example: some people think that vaccinations cause autism. This medical scare was started by Andrew Wakefield. He was paid $675,000 plus expenses by a lawyer looking to file a law suit against the pharmacy companies and filed a patent for an alternative vaccine that was supposed to make him rich. The chiropractic techniques were developed in 1895 by a dude without any medical training but with an interest in phrenology and magnetic therapy, all of which is bogus. #comics #comicbooks #graphicnovel #science #medicine #evolution #NASA #homeopathy by ivo.vynckier
