Freedom of Science

Humans have a unique ability to create environments that are depressing, writes John Baez. Some are melancholy, unloved, like a dimly lit highway overpass at night covered with graffiti, or this building in Shanghai:

I understand this feeling. At times I felt the same way. But unlike the holographic principle, the surface of a building […]

Sean Carroll writes:
It hadn’t occurred to me that such a sentiment was sufficiently unique to deserve being quoted, but as far as Google knows nobody else has pointed this out before.
In fact as Google knows someone else quoted that article extensively:

Being a heretic can be fun; but being a successful heretic is mostly hard work.

Why is it that I cannot find the answers to simple questions that I have been investigating in this blog? I made a list below. I stated them as propositions that need to be evaluated.
I believe that what makes finding answers difficult is that there is no standard of evidence in physics. There is no […]

The ultimate goal of mathematics is to eliminate any need for intelligent thought. [Alfred N. Whitehead] 

In this article Isabel Lugos is propagating the oldest scholastic propaganda. Willingly or unwillingly, I do not know. This propaganda asserts that Doctors of Philosophy are supremely more intelligent than non-doctors:
I_Docs >> I_non-Docs
Lugos adds to this claim a twist by […]

Some thoughts on the mission of the Freedom of Science blog. What is Newtonism? Can it be toppled? Does it need to be?
Also available here in wiki format.
The best case scenario
In the best case scenario

scientific authority is transferred to the people
Newtonism is exposed as religion
Kepler’s rule is recognized as fundamental
Newtonian occult is removed from science

Standard Model of Physics is analogous to the Ptolemaic model. Both are mathematical models based on observations. Ptolemaic model uses geometric epicycles and Standard Model uses analytic epicycles. There is nothing wrong with epicycles. Doctors of physics corrupted the word epicycle and made it to mean “anti-science” in order to hide the fact that they […]

    
This is a computer simulation showing a collision in LHC’s ALICE detector. Physics is done more and more with computer simulations not with equations. This picture shows that physics has moved away from geometric representation to pictorial representation. But physicists still pretend to be bound by the rigor of geometric representation.nudity moviemovies adult freefree movies […]

Physics is very simple. There is a set of observations. Physicists fit a curve to observations. Then they associate a philosophical label to the fit. Then they float the label. Then they negotiate for years if the label should enter the physics code. Negotiations never fail to find a mathematical sophistry that will allow the […]

Would teachers teach calculus if they had a choice? This is also an ethical question: Why do teachers teach calculus? There are two reasons. 1) To earn their living. 2) They have no choice.
I have never met a teacher of calculus who taught calculus because that was her purpose in life. Teachers have no choice. […]
