Despite its flashy image and good reputation among the general public as well as among the majority of scholars and intellectuals, science - like any other field of human activity - suffers from serious shortcomings and defects related to moral, ethical, professional and legal aspects and perspectives, where the generally approved standards, rules and values are - deliberately or non-deliberately, with or without good intention - infringed and violated by the individuals and institutions who produce, curate and promote science (i.e. academics, researchers, universities, scholarly journals, funding bodies, and so on). In this series of "The Dark Sides of Modern Science" we try to shed light on some of these negative aspects and downsides of modern science where we provide curated lists of references, in the form of scholarly journal articles and online sources, related to the topics of this subject. This compilation aims to raise awareness of this important issue among the general public as well as among scholars and specialists. Additionally, the series serves as a valuable starting point for researchers and writers who wish to explore the topics of this subject further and in greater detail. In this paper (which is the first in this series) we investigate the dark sides of knowledge production and authoring. Our intention is to investigate in the following papers of this series other dark sides of modern science related, for instance, to publishing, credit attribution and morality.

In this work, we propose the Principium Geometricum, a reconstruction of physicsgrounded in the ontology of area. From the tension of the perfect vacuum and the emergenceof a primary field U, we derive all known forces—not as postulates,but as secondary effects of geometric variation. We introduce the unifyingconstant αU = keℓ2P and demonstrate that it recovers the classical regimes ofgravity, electrostatics, and even the structure of the Einstein tensor as an emergent averageof toroidal pulsations. Time emerges as an agent of entropy, matter as a geometric solitude, and space as a mesh of topological recurrences. Finally, we show that physical laws are algorithms for compressing reality, and that the geometric freedom of chaos is a condition for the emergence of order. The universe, in this framework, is not a given—it is a program that rewrites itself in real time.

Modern physical theories excel at describing the evolution of physical systems through well-defined mathematical laws. However, these laws fundamentally presuppose initial conditions and a structure of observables that they do not themselves explain. In this paper, we argue that current science—while successful in predicting and manipulating nature—is inherently incapable of addressing the question of origins: the origin of the cosmos, life, or even fundamental quantities like mass, charge, and spin. Measurement in science is intrinsically comparative, not absolute, further highlighting a deep epistemological limitation. We critically analyze this structural limitation of scientific methodology and argue that without recognizing these boundaries, attempts to resolve origin-related mysteries remain philosophically and methodologically incomplete. We conclude by calling for a broader paradigm that includes metaphysical, phenomenological, or consciousness-based perspectives to complement scientific inquiry.

The topic of this paper is an original form of logic called Tonal Logic. I have finally decided that my work will not be perfect or finished, but I am ready to offer, not a totality, but a synthesis on Tonal Logic. In the beginning of the paper, we give two well-defined hypothesis’ for laws of Tonal Gravity. The premise for these hypothesis’ involves two base cases which have a certain combinatorial property, that is the diatonic scale embedded in the chromatic scale, and the pentatonic scale embedded in the chromatic scale. The antecedent in the hypothesis involves the felt sensation of Tonal Gravity or the identification of a single tone which acts as the tonic. These well-defined hypothesis’ provide a deduction which enables the formulation of Tonal Logic. We proceed to define axioms of Tonal Logic, define Tonal Conservation, make a thesis statement on the phenomenon of emergence, apply Tonal Logic to describe mathematical objects, and finally, we form a cosmology out of the Tonal Logic. Having given form to Tonal Cosmology, we allow some deductions. The goal of this paper is not to thoroughly deliver a singular result. It is not to detail the hypothesis and experiment, not to perfect the axioms of tonal logic, not to show strict consistency with mathematics, nor fully detail a cosmology consistent with physics. The goal is to provide a synthesis on Tonal Logic which touches on all of these things and which may be expanded upon. I am an independent researcher, and most importantly, a musician. I have no references. I do reference well known equations in mathematics or physics at various points, however, the line of reasoning that I take, the hypothesis’ I offer, the Tonal Logic on display, and the application of this logic to number and cosmology is entirely original.

This paper proposes a logical redesign of the traditional 12-hour clock system by shifting each hour one step earlier. Instead of starting the day at 12:00 AM and repeating the confusing cycle from 12 to 11, the proposed model begins at 1:00 and ends at 12:00 in both AM and PM cycles. This change aligns better with natural human counting, eliminates the long-standing confusion around 12:00 AM and 12:00 PM, and simplifies the way time is understood and taught. The goal is not to force a global change, but to offer a more intuitive alternative that could benefit education, digital systems, and daily communication.
