Freedom of Science

I want to understand what force is. This seems to be a simple question. What complicates the issue is that there are two ways of looking at the question.
1. Physicist’s way
2. Scientist’s way
1. Physicist’s way
In physics there is nothing to question: Force is what is defined as force in legal physics.
For physicists, whatever they define […]

The picture of scholastic physics described here by an insider under the guise of giving advice reveals that physics is another name of the old hierarchical bureaucracy called scholasticism. The advice to the new members of this bureaucracy is simple: if you want to advance in this hierarchy you must conform. To be a successful […]

Everyone (here, here and here) agrees that you cannot simulate everything. If everything cannot be simulated how can physicists write the rule of everything? Physicist call the rule of everything Theory of Everything.
A simulation is a computer program, an algorith. Given a set of parameters representing perceptions it gives the same results as perceived. Theory […]

Max Tegmark’s Shut up and Calculate is a typical A==B philosophy. In this type of philosophy the philosophizing doctor floats a definition, in this case
A==The World
B == Equation

and then writes a polemic to sell his definition as the ultimate truth.
In 2000 years philosophers have made great progress. From the World is Fire, or Earth or Air […]

Wikinomics writes:
Throughout most human history, hierarchies of one form or another have served as the primary engines of wealth creation and provided a model for institutions such as the church, the military, and government.
So pervasive and enduring has the hierarchical mode of organization been that most people assume that there are no viable alternatives. Whether […]

I want to compare linear and non-linear solutions of Cavendish experiment equation of motion:
1. Linear Solution without damping:
y(t) = A cos wt + B/w
w == omega_0^2 == omega_f (when there is no damping)
B = 2GMmd/Ia^2
2. The numerical solution for the non-linear version is given here as solved by Robert Israel in Maple.
For t=0 numerical solution has
y(0) […]

Carl Brannen writes:
I’m not trying to educate people in the standard model, but instead my slant on it.
This is an important difference from physicists’ attitude. As far as I understand you are not pushing your version as religious dogma. For physicists the physics version is not open to questioning by outsiders.1  As a professional class […]

A babe in the universe writes that h = c = 1 is an absurdity. I agree. In order to cancel c to fit nature into their own dogma physicists use mathematical fraud and one of such frauds is to write h = c = 1.1
Babe in the universe comments that this absurdity “lets people […]

Flip tomato has been offended and took down my pingback:
I’m taking down a ping-back from a blog which appears to have taken my joke rather too seriously and has made some statements about `physics scholasticism’ that I strongly disagree with.
He disagrees but does he have any proof that physics is not scholasticism?
A scholastic doctor is […]

Flip tomato presents this as a joke:
 
But this is not a joke. It is a visual representation of the state of academic physics.
I would make one change on the plot. The plot is not Contributions v. Talent. In physics talent has no value. The currency of physics is authority. Therefore, the plot must be Publication […]
