An engineering masterpiece. Blake, how does an invisible, undetectable being (Dark Matter?? ) validate, or invalidate, the concept of objective reality? The choice to use the scientific method, and the choice to believe in a specific world mythos can be utterly separate, or intricately intertwined. You can argue that the Eastern religious beliefs slowed the development of physics, and other sciences, but oddly seem to be useful in Quantum theory. I really should do a thesis on Coyote and Chaos Theory! | ||

Let's not forget that there is a lot of mumbo jumbo going on in Quantum theory. So many bad ideas are thrown around based upon it. Important to keep that in mind before one ventures on the Quantum bandwagon. The greatest unsolved problems in physics are often the result of contradictory assumptions and theories, here's a list of them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unsolved_pro blems_in_physics I'd argue that these problems disappear once those contradictions are let go off. However, scientists have grown fond of their contradictions and aren't keen to let them go easily. For example, the Cosmological Constant problem is "the largest discrepancy between theory and experiment in all of science". Why is that? It's because of contradictions in scientific assumptions. Without clearing these up, the unsolved problems remain. This relates to the emperor not having clothes. Much of science is built upon a house of cards (see the list of unsolved problems). Assumptions built upon assumptions, it's a sea of contradictory assumptions. Perhaps it's time to start from a clean slate. But that would mean that scientists have to give up on these assumptions, which would mean that they have to admit they are wrong. Admitting being wrong is not easy even for scientists. So instead, they keep on building upon faulty assumptions, it's easier that way than admitting failure. | ||

Do you hold a degree in physics or do you just read the Wikipedia pages? | ||
| Aesquire |
Me? A few credits short of an Aerospace Engineering degree. Ran out of money and never got it finished. Not one of my better life choices/mistakes. Wikipedia is a poor source for physics if it's not Orthodox Standard. The nature of the editing process, a fairly polite Mob Rules, tends to belittle or censor dissenting opinions. I've long suspected that a restatement of Aether theory with quantum foam and frame dragging... Mix in Einstein & Feynman to update the buzzwords, is the better alternative to Dark Bestiary. But it's possible my desire for simplicity is just my imposing myself between the light of the search and the Universe. A shadow I imagine is the reality. If you really understand Quantum physics, you may not be sane by "normal" standards. But normal is boring, limited, and faddish. | ||

I was explaining celestial navigation to a buddy's son. You measure the angle between the horizon and a prominent star or planet. You start with knowns. I'm a known height, thus the horizon is a (math) distance away, at a (math) angle down, and the angle to, say, Venus, is (measured) and the time ( measured) and there is a (math) unique curve you must be on. Get the angle to another distant point, the Sun, or Polaris, (measure) then (math) that curve, and where it intercepts, there you are. This would take longer to calculate than any 18th century sea voyage, going from a simple ( hah!) Algorithm giving vectors and an observed arbitrary starting point. So you use pages of pre-calculated numbers for each easy to see planet and star, done by the Royal Observatory for the Admiralty. ( probably with a Babbage Engine powered by steam ) The difference between taking a sighting on Polaris through the windshield of a Beech at 10,000 feet and spinning a slide rule over a thick navigation table, while keeping one eye on the instrument panel, vs. hitting the "nearest airport" button on the GPS is astounding. Insert "kids nowadays" rant here. | ||

The farthest I got was some strange differential equations class many moons ago on the way to a structural engineering degree which stalled out because I got a job at an architectural office. Frankly, I didn't feel very solid about the engineering calculus I took before that. (Message edited by h0gwash on May 04, 2020) | ||

To my chagrin, it you don't use math it fades away. I used to do "simple" solid geometry every day, calculating surface feet per minute tool speeds for CAD/CAM programs for CNC machining. I had the "cheat sheet" mnemonic written on the wall in permanent marker for luck, but if I had to do it today, I'd have to break out the book and relearn the short cuts, it's been too long. The statistical analysis stuff is more recent, and I've used it regularly, unfortunately mostly to disprove articles on pseudo-science and politics. Find the original tables of raw data and the trends jump out at me still. That's just practice and pattern recognition. And polls! You learn to ignore the headline & look at the small print. Sample size of 200, category is people easily flattered who spend 50+ hours weekly complaining about Facebook posts, who think arson is justified against Global Warming Deniers. I think you can guess the "results" pretty easily. | ||

Patrick, that quote is attributed to Galileo, but upon checking he never said that. As a matter of fact, Galileo recanted his heliocentric view later in his life. A letter was found not too long ago written by Galileo were he explained his reasons why he gave up on heliocentrism. Although some people claim that he was forced to recant, but that is not true considering that Galileo wrote the letter to his friend Rinuccini. If he were forced, then Galileo would have mentioned this to his friend. Instead, he genuinely recanted without being forced as you can read here: https://famous-trials.com/galileotrial/1020-recant ation Gerard: ''Do you hold a degree in physics or do you just read the Wikipedia pages?'' No and no. Degrees don't mean much in many cases. Many employers don't even bother looking at degrees, especially these days when everyone and their dog has a degree. Degrees meant something back in the day, but not much today. A degree no longer means qualification, but indoctrination. Not saying there are no degrees worth having, but by and large degrees are not good indicators of competence. Here's an interesting video on degrees when it comes to job application: Louis looks for a job https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwIuFgIzPXo I don't just read Wikipedia pages, I'm perfectly aware that it's a biased source. If I just read Wikipedia pages, then I wouldn't have linked to dozens of other sources already in this thread. | ||

You don't need a degree to hold opinions on anything, and many jobs don't want people with degrees, but a degree would certainly lend weight to an argument that quantum theory wasn't worth learning. You don't have to agree with the indoctrination that is the baggage of any degree or skill set, you just have to be able to explain all the common misconceptions and conundrums of the field to show people that you have a deep understanding of it. | ||

https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2020/05/aca demic-absurdity-of-all-time.php The contempt older? wiser? sane, that's it, Americans feel toward Ivy League college indoctrination communes in the "social studies" areas may have a great example, above. The Jew hatred typical of Nazis and other Leftists is mixed with contempt for heteronormative behavior. ( that means girls liking guys & vice versa, OBVIOUSLY a horrid perversion! ) And hilariously inaccurate as Israel is one of the only countries in the region that doesn't openly prosecute and murder gays. Then blather about how gay Iran is. A country who's President proudly declared there were no gays. While publicly executing them by terror and torture, tossing off buildings and hanging with cranes. During Operation Desert Shield, when the U.S. was preparing to liberate Kuwait, the best source of street reality in Baghdad was the blog of a closeted gay man who apparently was caught and murdered by the Hussain regime before the liberation. Among his posts was the news that the Republican guard, Saddam's personal terror pretorians, had occupied the apartment complex across the street to hide from Coalition forces. However, the above "scientific paper" does seem to work hard to obscure the cultural wonders of the rampant pedophile sex considered normal in a culture that murders adult gays that have consensual relations with other adults. So I conclude, with, I admit, scant evidence, or reason to doubt, that the authors of the paper purpose is to promote the normalization of child rape while blaming all ills of the world on Jews and straight white men. Ah! Academe! | ||

Bill Gates from the deleted video: ''Normalcy only returns when we largely vaccinated the entire global population.'' But what is ''normalcy''? The four stages of subversion ends with ''normalcy'' or ''normalisation'', see below:  Notice that prior to ''normalisation'', we have ''crisis''. Here is a lesson from Rahm Emanuel: ''You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it's an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.'' | ||

The use of crisis for achieving political goals has become almost constant here Sami. Since the 1960's we've been told that we are at war against... poverty, drugs, pollution, terrorism, global warming, intolerance, greed/Wall Street, climate change, the patriarchy, guns, etc, etc, but never anything to do with government, well, unless it's a politician opposed to the Leftist solution to any of the above, then they must be destroyed. I wonder if our president understands what he's dealing with, or if he doesn't care, or if he's being pragmatic, or if he really is working the long game. I wish I knew. | ||
| Sami |
Indeed, Blake. Crisis has become a profitable business model to those who don't let it go to waste. The swamp is being drained, but I do believe that it is a long term game. As you say, these wars are going on since the 1960's, a total of seven decades of psychological warfare against us. Countering this warfare is a long term game, but it is a fun game. Fun to us (see the meme thread), but not fun to them. We are winning, because the left can't meme. Memetic warfare is an example of fourth generation warfare. This book deals with this new form of war: 4th Generation Warfare Handbook https://www.amazon.com/Generation-Warfare-Handbook -William-Lind/dp/9527065755 4th Generation warfare is also known as asymmetric warfare. Wars are no longer fought on the battlefield, but in the hearts and minds of people. Telling the truth has become a revolutionary act. ''To anger a conservative, lie to him. To anger a liberal, tell him the truth.'' -Unknown. | ||

''For believers in a higher being, science is the study of what God or the "Engineers" created.'' This has been true for centuries. Christians believe, or used to believe, that science is thinking God's thoughts after Him. This has changed into something completely different, with modern scientists such as Lewontin stating that: ''Moreover, that materialism is absolute, for we cannot allow a Divine Foot in the door.'' https://www.drjbloom.com/Public%20files/Lewontin_R eview.htm Materialism being absolute and not allowing a Divine Foot in the door is scientism galore. Science needs to be saved from scientism. Good article, Patrick. If only there was a vaccine for the scientism virus. Where's Bill Gates when you need him? | ||

Patrick, economics has to be saved, that is our duty. Too much emphasis has been placed on mathematical equations for sure. Someone mentioned Ian Fletcher in that article's comment section. Fletcher makes a convincing case for why ''free trade'' doesn't work and why tariffs are needed to save the economy. Definitely worth taking a look into Fletcher's work. Blake, there are many anomalies like those that have no explanation given the standard model. We are on the brink of major paradigm shifts in science. Coronacrisis has accelerated this, because people are now more skeptical of the consensus, allowing shifts in paradigm to take place much easier and faster. Trust in media, education and science are at an all-time low, so interesting times are ahead. | ||

Tpehak, I don't think time travel or parallel universes are possible. They result in paradoxes. Go back in time, kill your grandfather, come back to current time. But then you wouldn't be born in the first place. Patrick, Wikipedia is run by SJWs. There are alternatives to Wikipedia without Leftist bias, but they lack in other things such as popularity and limited articles. I sometimes use Infogalactic as an alternative: https://infogalactic.com/ | ||
