INTRODUCTION
Science is based on the principle of universal and un-
ambiguous understanding. Discovering the mysteries of
nature, science produces knowledge, which is as accessi-
ble as air that we breath and as water that we drink. Each
science is a program with an open source code, which re-
presents basic notions and assumptions, so everyone can
comprehend a new statement by themselves, comparing
it with a formula which is already familiar to everybody.
This “code” of science is not sacred, and is quite vul-
nerable. Many are tempted to interpret the main provi-
sions too widely. False notions are often declared to be
a version of a norm or even the only possible norm. New
facts that contradict these initial hypotheses force scien-
tists to introduce their own terms and postulates for new
areas of science, and even for new theories, thus narrow-
ing the circle of people who understand and increasing
illiteracy among the rest. The degradation of comprehen-
sion reaches its peak when even the advocates of certain
theories cannot explain their meaning and follow the
advice of physicist David Mermin, “Shut up and count!”
It is impossible to solve the problem of the struggle
for power over the fundamentals of science through the
coercive assertion of “the most appropriate” axioms and
postulates. Just as in politics, the form of this combat
can only be transformed by limiting it with the help of
