Lisa Randall in Colbert Report demonstrated a simple experiment. She said gravity is weak and proposed to prove it by an experiment. This is how she did it. Take a small object such as a paper clip and a small magnet. The earth acts on the paper clip pulling it towards its center with the occult Newtonian force. The small magnet too acts on the paper clip and pulls it towards itself. Conclusion: gravity is so weak that a small magnet overcomes earth’s attraction and pulls the clip towards itself.

This experiment reminded me of Feynman’s famous Space Shuttle o-ring experiment. They are both simple experiments. But Feynman’s experiment is true but Randall’s experiment is wrong. Why?

Randall’s paper clip experiment points to a general flaw of how physicists do experiments.¹

Physicists are Newtonian priests. They live in a Newtonian occult animist world where active and intelligent matter interact through Newton’s Soul which permeates the universe and it is the first cause of all phenomena.

Only a physicist who believes blindly this Newtonian religious doctrine would make the hidden assumption that the Earth pulls the clip towards its center with Newton’s occult gravity. No doubt Lisa Randall also believes that in an accelerating plane she is being attracted by the gravity located in the tail of the plane. Nonsense. Newtonian force is the result of the same kind of blind faith in the Newtonian doctrine.

There is no such occult cause between the paper clip and the Earth.

1. Laws of physics cannot be questioned. Therefore an experiment cannot be used to question laws of physics. Physicists use experiments only to verify existing laws. Therefore, there are no crucial experiments in physics. Yet another proof that physics is religion. All experiments in academic physics are miracles. [↩]
