Freedom of Science

1. Occult does not exist
I believe that occult does not exist. This is simply proved: Occult means supernatural. To deny the existence of the occult simply means that nature is not supernatural.
Principle:

Nature is not supernatural.

I use the denial of the occult as a principle to prove, for instance, that Newtonian force does not exist because […]

Clifford Johnson, a physicist, teaches in a course that gravity does not exist:
 There simply is no gravity.
Then when he teaches Newtonian mechanics he tells his students that gravity is an experimentally proved quantity.
Does gravity exist in one classroom and not in another? What happened to the consistency of laws of physics in every reference frame? […]

A quantum diaries survivor at A Babe in the Universe re Galileo’s 404th birthday:
The physics department where I work is named after Galileo. As you walk up the entrance stairs, you face a brass incision with his head and the sentence, which I love:
 
I value more finding the truth, even on a trivial matter, than […]

I just saw a headline about a lawyer who claimed to have worked 1,271 days in one year.
Even by the loose standards of legal profession this drew the attention of authorities as bordering on fraud. And indeed auditors took note and state comptroller started an investigation.
Physics too is a legal profession and physicists routinely make […]

Doctor Lisa Randall on the Colbert Report. 
Here in the idealized setting of a comedy stage you see the true face of physics. There are three elements.
1. A Doctor of Philosophy
2. A book
3. A comedian
Let’s see if we can find truthiness of each.
Lisa Randall — the Doctor of Philosophy
Lisa Randall is a professional doctor of philosophy […]

Transcript of Lisa Randall on Colbert Report:
Colbert
My guess tonight is a theoretical physicist who teaches at Harvard University. I am guessing not a Huckabee supporter. Please welcome Lisa Randall. Thank you Doctor Randall. Thank you for coming on. I hope you’ll clear up something for me. . . . Your entire book.

It’s called Warped passages: […]

Can prose be composed in the Euclidean order?
PROTASIS (enunciation)
EKTHESIS (setting out)
DIORISMOS (definition of the goal)
KATASKEUE (construction)
APODEIXIS (proof)
SUMPERASMA (conclusion)
Enunciation
Euclidean order can be used with prose.
Setting out
Let Euclidean order E be the 6 elements: Enunciation, Setting out, Definition of the goal, Construction, Proof, Conclusion; and let P be Prose, and let B a blog post.
Definition of the […]

Thus spoke Newton, the founder of modern physics:
God in the beginning formed matter in solid, massy, hard, impenetrable movable particles.
God is Newtonian
No. You are not reading Genesis 1. Although Newton is referring to the same God. Like all other prophets finding in themselves the right to speak in the name of God, Newton too finds […]

Ironically what physicists call the cutting edge of new research is old research. So-called cutting edge, the latest papers, is the place further away from the root. The entire theory, the hierarchical branching, says nothing more than what the root definition says. And as in a tree, physicists hide the root from view so that […]

Here’s my proposal to Santa Fe Institute. The mission of Santa Fe Institute is to “understand the common themes that arise in natural, artificial, and social systems.” Accordingly, in this proposal I emphasize the unifying theme of Freedom of Science.
Unlike the other three institutions that I have written to the mission of Santa Fe Institute […]
