If someone turned off gravity right now, then all currently orbiting planets would just fly out at tangents.
Interesting point. In pre-Newtonian times people proved the truth of astrology by the same type of circular reasoning. The believers said that astrology is true because if it weren’t the astrological influx between […]

Writes nullphysics.com:
Physics is currently in a sad, sad state. Theorists have, upon their global failure to provide coherent solutions to nature’s toughest questions, chosen to relinquish much of their responsibility. They have reached the internally-agreed-upon consensus that their job is not to explain reality, their one and only job is to describe it, using models […]

I’ve been writing that physicists are in the way of freeing the concept of force from centuries old scholastic baggage. In fact, it’s not the physicists per se but it’s the physics bureaucracy that makes impossible any progress to eliminate occult qualities of scholasticism from physics. The marketing name of this old scholastic bureaucracy may […]

Universal beauties

Physicists’ universe

is as universal as Miss Universe:

The standard model of particle physics does not account for mass.1 There is a very simple explanation for this experimental fact: Mass does not exist.
The model built by Newtonian priests the physicists predicts that there is no mass.2 Newton the grand master of scholastic physics says there is mass. He defined it. He designed an […]

Force: contact and occult

When I use the word force I mean the occult1 action-at-a-distance force invented by Newton. The table below lists the two kinds of forces:

Force disambiguation

Mechanics
Occultics

Fcontact = mweight a
Foccult = moccult a

Contact force
Action-at-a-distance Occult force

Interactions by contact
Interactions by occult between intelligent mass

Force and weight are relevant
Force and mass are decorative and cancel

Like most concepts in […]

Google sense of humor?

Google uses Peter Woit’s Not Even Wrong upside down completing the symmetry of the Gnorw written backwards on the cover.

In computer science the code is evaluated by the computer.1 Therefore, professionals have zero authority over the interpretation of the code. The computer does not care who wrote the code and there is no interpretation based on the rank or authority of the author of the code.
In mathematics code is evaluated by mathematicians themselves2 and […]

Test of quantifiability

Academic physics is secretly about semantics since gravitational physics is about negotiations to establish the legal meaning of the word gravitation.
This appears to be a negotiation among physicists each trying to cash his own theory and nature who is the owner of the cash physicists are trying to collect.
   
If a legal definition of physics […]
