Resistance and Creation of Gaian Science in "liquid" times

In this article we seek to problematize the field of sciences with a base in the Modern Paradigm. By provoking scientific knowledge, we intend to announce the marks of the paradigm that has transformed science into the large and sole legitimate form of producing valid knowledge. Announcing new contemporaneous times, the study brings into the discussion the concept of Zygmund Bauman about Liquid Modernity. Based on these modifications and fissures in the Modernity project, we introduce the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche to think of Gaian Science as a strategy of resistance and the creation of other ways to make and think about the field of sciences nowadays. We talk about nonsense science, which joins laughter and wisdom. A merry knowledge that turns its back to the pretentious intentions of modern man and towards the acquisition of deep knowledge.
