Freedom of Science

The currency1 of the web is links.2 And authority is proportional to links:
Technorati Authority is the number of blogs linking to a website in the last six months. The higher the number, the more Technorati Authority the blog has.

Authority is proportional to links, so, 
A :: L

Therefore,
A = G L.

where G = 1 Google is the […]

John Baez writes: “For people who think they can do fundamental physics without much math, the correct answer is not “no!” so much as “I doubt it, but go ahead and try.”1
“You must use mathematics to do fundamental physics,” sounds like a good advice. It would have been even more helpful if it meant something.
John […]

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 […]

As 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 […]

I was replying to Bee’s comment that one can do physics without time. I wrote “I agree with you that one can do physics without physics” and I realized that I wrote physics instead of time.
But how true!
Physics without physics is science.
Let me try to explain with an example from that discussion on the nature […]

What can we do today to eliminate the scholastic labels from physics?
Galileo was able to use geometry to eliminate scholastic labels of his time because geometry was not yet corrupted by scholastic doctors. Newton corrupted geometry and his disciples have turned mathematics into most corrupt polemical legal system ever invented: the academic physics.  
Despite practicing polemical […]

Dear Prof. Glashow
All of the ills of modern physics can be traced to physicists’ unquestioning belief in Newton’s ancient authority.
Physics education teaches physicists to believe in Newton’s authority without question. This is proved by the fact that you have practiced your profession for over 40 years as a good Newtonian physicist without doubting Newton’s authority.
Only […]

Judging from history of physics patent offices must have a deep connection with fundamental research. Yesterday I looked at the argument in Microsoft v. AT&T where lawyers discuss if software can be patented.
The law allows only four categories to be patentable: “process, machine, manufacture, or composition of matter.” Therefore, to find out if software is […]

If Newtonism is religion, physicists are religious priests.
Why is it important to figure this out?
Our perception of the world will change.
Physicists invented a proprietary language with cabalistic notation to scare us so that we leave them alone to invent more ugly notation and sell them to us as science to feed the Big Media. Once we […]

Doctors of Philosophy are not the enemy. Doctors of Philosophy are the victims. Their arrogance stems from their own realization that they have been fooled by the Newtonist priests into getting into a profession they thought would let them become scientists. Midway through their Newtonist indoctrination they realized that what they taught was science education presented to […]
