Newton defined experiment to be an undefined absolute1 which defined science as physics.2 No one knows what Newtonian scientific method defined by this experiment means. No practicing scientist uses this undefined Newtonian scientific method, whatever it is. Newton’s definition is a political definition which has no value in the laboratory. Newton’s definition of science is […]
All professionals have a purpose in scociety except academic physicists who do not have customers who come to them with a dispute, financial question or medical problem. Physicists define their job description and their problems and produce scholastic code they call physics for bureaucratic evaluation by colleagues. Physicists attach themselves to bureauracies to justify their […]
Newton’s rap sheet against science:
Newton called Descartes’ first law Newton’s first law
Newton called Kepler’s third law Newton’s second law
Newton called Huygens’ law of collisions Newton’s third law
Newton’s definition 1 in Principia is Kepler’s third law
Newton’s force is a label Newton defined on Kepler’s third law: Newton wrote Kepler’s third law as F=1/RR and F=R/TT
Newton corrupted […]
Physical mythology
1 Comment Published by admin May 28th, 2007 in Science, Physics, Doctors of Philosophy, Newton, AlphysicsPhysicists answer all questions about Nature by Newton’s authority. Physicists reversed the direction of the mythmaking process but it is still the mythological explanation of phenomena by authority, or more generally, by definition. The process goes like this:
1. Notice a repetition
2. Assign a word to the repetition
3. Define the assigned word as the cause of the […]
There are two kinds of constants:
1. kept-constant
2. equality of ratios
Kept-constant
Kept-constant is a unit which is kept constant in order to measure other similar quantities. A unit is a unit and can always be written as unity. A unit is a single entity.
Equality of ratios
An equality of ratios is a constant whose terms vary according to […]
This article over at Not Even Wrong reiterates many points I have been making here about the state of physics today. Physics is a low level polemical sophistry practiced by professional Doctors of Philosophy such as Sean Carroll of Cosmic Variance. Dr. Woit calls Doctor Sean’s statements “standard misleading propaganda.” However you look at it, physics is junk science practiced by fame […]
Witten’s toy fiefdom
2 Comments Published by admin May 25th, 2007 in Authority, Physics, Doctors of Philosophy, ShamanAs reported here String maven Witten’s next research objective is “to study fully quantum black holes in an exactly solvable toy model” in anti-deSitter space with lambda=0, that is, AdS3
Witten wants to study quantum black holes but he wants to study these side effects of the physics code as exactly solvable toy models.1
What Witten is […]
What are the data types in physics?
I made an initial list in this wiki:
Numbers
Strings
Variables
Constants
Units
Composite data types
Operators
Reference systems
Pictorial elements
Concepts
Experiments
Languages
Observables
Commentary:
Data types in physics do not have the precision of data types in computer science. There is no single authority which defines, maintains and enforces the purety of data types. If physics were a computer language and nature […]
“Physics without Newton” gets 20 hits in Google. These quotes show how entrenched Newtonism is in our society. Newton and his disciples made the words Newton, physics and science synonyms. Today humans agree with this Newtonist view and equate Newton and physics with science.
The reality is that nothing Newton discovered is used in science. Nothing […]
Physicists:
What is the problem you are trying to solve?
What is the question you are trying to answer?
Physicists do not have precise answers to these questions.1
Their answer is: We are trying to discover the laws of the universe.
Well, then you are using the wrong tool.
Your tool is physics.
But physics has already told you the laws of […]
