Absolute Intelligence, written by Ilexa Yardley, shows the circle is the most important idea of all time. According to Yardley, the circle is the driving force behind everything, and, once we truly understand it, world peace is achievable here and now, not there and then. For this goal, then, Yardley is calling on every scientist to take the time to get to know her material. Because Yardley is not a scientist, to take a stand either for, or against, Yardley’s discovery of Conservation of the Circle, scientists will have to overcome their institutional, professional and personal biases against the lay person’s role in, and capability for, making ’science.’ Yardley predicts this will be a re-enactment of the Galileo-Catholic church controversy, only this time it will be the scientific establishment up for review. Yardley says the arguments that are likely to ensue are her yin-yang opposite ideas showing up even in protected academic circles. Yardley encourages the media, and laypeople everywhere, to referee.

Ok. Ms. Yardley: you lose.
