Freedom of Science

Urs Schreiber in article Charges and Twisted Bundles, III: Anomalies writes:
They are called “anomalies”, I’d say, because to a large extent in physics the approach is to pretend that working locally is fine – until one happens to run head-on into global issues. A mathematician might say at this point: “We made a mistake at […]

Physics is a loaded word with many meanings:

legal code
legal profession
rubric for theoretical academic topics formerly known as scholasticism
rubric for laboratory research of certain kind with technological applications
series of formal tests that must be passed to obtain a license to practice physics
legislating nature
professional occultism
great chain of the absurd

Physics is defined more than once therefore physics is […]

For physicists Newton’s laws are sacred.1 When Nature contradicts Newton’s laws physicists add an amendment to the law to save Newton’s authority. String Theory is such an amendment invented to explain an imaginary singularity2 in Newton’s force definition. It never occurs to physicists to discard Newtonian legislature no matter how strongly Nature rejects it.
In practice, […]

A good example of how lexical corruption promoted by academic physicists enters the trenches is shown by this claim by some physicists that they’ve created a black hole in fiber optics.
Black hole is a physic. Physics is a collection of physics and proud of it.
But criticism of physics as a profession is futile.
Criticizing physics is […]

John Baez announces that Physics, Topology, Logic and Computation: a Rosetta Stone is done. I don’t understand the category theory1 details but I find the paper very inspirational.
On Section 1.4.2 Categories in Functional Programming authors consider the program (double) which doubles a number, so,
(double 4) = 8.
Double takes an integer and doubles it.2 But
in reality, […]

Physicists like to contrast physics with religion. In current usage physics is a pun for science and physicists exploit this pun and use physics interchangeably with science. But the contrast is not between science or physics and religion but between science and legal. Here’s what I mean.
Is physics pseudo-science?
There is a lot of talk going […]

The Force. Yes, that Force. Or like physicists call it, the Higgs boson. Or God particle.
It doesn’t really matter what physicists call it. The Force is still the same occult Newtonian Force.

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 […]

My new discovery that physics is a physical system of puns is getting truer and truer every day. In this article on Hubble’s Law Doctor Carroll of Cosmic Variance plays on the old pun between the universe and cosmos.
Since the secret brotherhood in charge of corrupting languages has corrupted cosmos long time ago we need […]
