Seriously, is it true that string theorists wear slippers with
bells on the toes?

Dear Anon,
I am so glad you asked.
Yes, they do, and they also have bells on their floppy pointed hats.
However, only the Master Jesters are allowed to juggle the Glass
Beads.
The sycophants have to sit around them in a circle and clap.
Otherwise they are branded "crackpots" and ostracized.
It's "the only game in town", don't you know.
Good observing Anon,
RLO |

Well, let me explain.
I have watched theoretical physics descend
into untestable pseudoscience over the last
few decades, and it is very disturbing to anyone
who loves testable natural philosophy and
experimental science.
First it was the hordes of unobservable particles,
then the untestable and childishly idealistic
cosmological assumptions, then the whole
string theory excursion into la-la land, then
the deplorable "anthropic reasoning", then
the 10^500 random "multiverses", then the
"Boltzmann Brains" [egad!].
When I learned about the Nielsen/Ninomiya
papers it was like a "call to arms". The fact
that one cannot be entirely sure if the authors
intended to be taken seriously, or if the whole
fiasco is an elaborate hoax, just makes the
insult to science that much worse.
I would roughly estimate that 50% of current
theoretical physics, including the most
"fashionable" brands, are untestable pseudoscience
at best, and Platonic twittery if we are being candid.
People like Einstein and Schroedinger have been
replaced by execrable "natural pilosophers" who
may be very adept at abstract and hermetic
analytical methods, but who seem to have little
or no intercourse with the real world of nature.
The sycophants follow like sheep because they
feel it is not their role to question the Glass Bead
Game.
Well, I could go on at great length, but now you
know what the "problem" is. The question is:
What is to be done about it?
Hoping for a new paradigm,
and a definitively testable
paradigm, at that,
RLO

What IS this guy's problem?
He upholds Einstein as his hero, a stumblebum that had no intercourse with
the real world of nature.

Your comments say far more about you than about me.

My comment was
"What IS this guy's problem?

the real world of nature."
A snipping psychotic sycophant like you doesn't want to address that issue,
you accuse others of what you are most guilty of yourself.
tau = (t-vx/c^2)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2) = t * sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
xi = (x-vt)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
For v = dx/dt = 0.866c, a moving clock records the passing of
0.5 seconds per real second and the fuckwits are happy.
Unfortunately the same moving clock is twice as thick as the
fuckwit, four short planks, and upsilon = d(xi)/d(tau) =4c.
Thus the moving clock's frame of inertial reference sees
the Earth it left disappearing at four times the speed of light.
According to Paul B. Andersen, professional liar and general
fuckwit, we obviously know that the Lorentz transform is
experimentally well confirmed and never falsified, this proving
the Einstein Expansion is nonsense. |

Worthless prat!
*plonk*
Do not reply to this generic message, it was automatically generated;
you have been kill-filed, either for being boringly stupid, repetitive,
unfunny, ineducable, repeatedly posting politics, religion or off-topic
subjects to a sci. newsgroup, attempting cheapskate free advertising
for profit, because you are a troll, simply insane or any combination
or permutation of the aforementioned reasons; any reply will go unread.
Boringly stupid is the most common cause of kill-filing, but because
this message is generic the other reasons have been included. You are
left to decide which is most applicable to you.
There is no appeal, I have despotic power over whom I will electronically
admit into my home and you do not qualify as a reasonable person I would
wish to converse with or even poke fun at. Some weirdoes are not kill-
filed, they amuse me and I retain them for their entertainment value
as I would any chicken with two heads, either one of which enables the
dumb bird to scratch dirt, step back, look down, step forward to the
same spot and repeat the process eternally.
This should not trouble you, many of those plonked find it a blessing
that they are not required to think and can persist in their bigotry
or crackpot theories without challenge.
You have the right to free speech, I have the right not to listen. The
kill-file will be cleared annually with spring cleaning or whenever I
purchase a new computer or hard drive.
I'm fully aware that you may be so stupid as to reply, but the purpose
of this message is to encourage others to kill-file fuckwits like you.
I hope you find this explanation is satisfactory but even if you don't,
damnly my frank, I don't give a dear. Have a nice day and fuck off. |
