The present body of scientific knowledge is something to be used as a work in progress, to be built upon, change parts of when better models are derived, and in my humble opinion the work of the foundational pioneers in science is to be honored.
The steady progress of science and engineering has brought many wonderful inventions forth, but they are all just incremental advances by researchers upon the prior work of others. Once in the while, a truly brilliant mind comes along and a large forward step is made, but when viewed as part of the bigger picture, all of the steps are rather small and definitely required the foundation of the prior work.
Anyone who has studied the history of science and technology knows this to be true.
The body of scientific knowledge to date is not something to be shunned or feared (unless one has a father or other authority complex and are still prone to wet the bed, in that case seek mental health help)
Yet there are those who would want you to throw out the books, disregard the prior body of acquired knowledge. Ok that's fine, then be prepared to throw a few other things out that knowledge , science and engineering have delivered to you.
For example, throw out your comfortable home and central heating / cooling system, electic lighting, your automobile, your powerful computer, your accurate digital meters and scopes, your telecommunications devices that allow you to share information with anyone anywhere in the world. Throw out your copper wire and coils and magnets and ball bearings, transistors and LED's, capacitors and diodes.
Then you can spend all your time gathering firewood, nuts and berries, and carve your rants against science on a cave wall with a sharp stone, if you have any free time to do so.
I have to truly wonder at the immature; without perspective, that have not taken their thinking very far however believe they are a yet to be discovered genius. They surely are suffering Dunning-Kreuger syndrome, if not something worse.
I am in total agreement with PhysicsProf: "we collectively are seeking to find a presently UNTAPPED source of energy"
That's good enough for me, I never liked the word "free energy" because nothing is free, there is always a price to paid. The word "Overunity" is not to my liking either, as it is difficult to properly define.
