This is why physics is dying

To what degree is this real crisis even of the morale of physics explained long ago by an obscure book written by the Russian revolutionary leader Vladimir : " Materialism and Empirio-criticism " ? Lenin argued that the closer science comes to philosophical questions , to the ORDER of society ,and espouses threatening ideas to that social order the more working scientists are likely to be led astray and corrupted by the " ideology of the ruling class ". It is rather ironic ,more than a century later, that even the seemingly hard- nosed oh-so-" scientific " New Atheism " has its roots in " ideas of the ruling class ". How many of the celebrity New Atheists -like the late drunken Christopher Hitchens - were unmasked during the Iraq War ( 2003 ) as pillars of CAPITALISM, MILITARISM, and ISRAELI ZIONISM ? Lately , I see so many professional scientists on You Tube slobbering over some dubious sponsor. Scientists should learn from that very religious scientist whose public lectures were so popular in Great Britain in the middle of the 19th century : Michael Faraday . Did Michael Faraday ever do the equivalent of a social media infomercial ? And religious as he was, did Faraday ever betray the spirit of Science ?
