Scientific specialisation is now so extreme that even people studying neighbouring subjects within the same discipline can no longer understand each other.
The detail of modern science is incomprehensible to almost everyone, which means that we have to take what scientists say on trust.
Yet science tells us to trust nothing, to believe only what can be demonstrated.
This contradiction is fatal to public confidence.
