Freedom of Science

The professional mythology marketed by physicists wants us to believe that physics is an experimental science.

There are three problems with this mythology:

1. In physics there is no definition of what an experiment is. Any physicist can publish his measurements of the oscillations of an oscillator as an experiment.

2. In physics canon there are many historical experiments which would not meet even the lowest criteria to be called experiments.

Example: Coulomb’s experiment

3. It is the habit of physicists to define units by using gadgets as false witnesses.

Examples: Milliken oil drop experiment and the so-called discovery of the electron.

But the famous Cavendish experiment is a blatant fraud that physicists still perpetuate as a precise and true scientific experiment.

Can physics be an experimental science when physicists accept the Cavendish experiment to be the measurement of G?

Cavendish never measured G, he was dead when G was invented. Even if Cavendish tried he could not have measured G. His experiment was not set up to measure Newton’s force. Cavendish thought he computed the mean density of the earth.

The perpetuation of the Cavendish experiment as the measurement of G is a scientific crime.

Every professional physicist should take a close look at the Cavendish experiment and search his or her soul and decide if they really want to be co-conspirators of the 19th century British hard core Newtonists who invented the G and associated it with Cavendish experiment in order to save Newton’s sacred authority.

G is not an experimental quantity.

G is a defined unit which the British defined in order to make celestial mechanics British by replacing German K with British G.

If the United States Bureau of Standards decides to make celestial mechanics American and sets G to unity and says G is now called the “universal standard of stars and stripes” and it is a defined unit, nothing in physics will change. The independence of G from the rest of physics is already well-known.

In the nineteenth century, 200 years after Newton’s so called discovery of force, this not even occult quantity had not been observed in Nature.

Not that Newton’s disciples have not been trying. Newtonians had been trying to observe Newton’s force by trying to measure the attraction of mountains on their pendulums. Pendulums cannot detect Newton’s Soul and they never did. To this day, Newton’s force was never observed in a scientific experiment.

The British strongly believed in the British nature of Nature and defined the Cavendish experiment as the experimental proof of the Newtonian force. Failing to observe force the British defined an experiment as the experimental proof of force.

Any physicist who accepts this fraud without questioning it is guilty against science. Silence means consent. If physics is a corrupt profession all physicists will be stained by this corruption.

Future generations will see modern physics as Newtonian scholasticism. If you are a physicist reading this, you can make a difference by thinking about this topic.

Modern physicists are so blinded by Newton’s authority that they keep measuring G in Cavendish type experiments. Of course, none of these experiments have ever been duplicated as required by the professional rules of experimental science of physics. The experiments measuring G enter the physics canon directly on the authority of the experimenter alone. Physics is done by authority. When an experiment is accepted by authority it is no longer an experiment, it is a scholastic definition made by using a gadget.

This is the state of experimental science of physics today.

I invite all physicists to spend at least 15 minutes of their day to think about Newtonian dogma which had been instilled in them during their education and search their scientific souls to decide if they really want to believe in this 18th century British religion whose faith is force.

Cavendish experiment is the official miracle of this religion which has been used successfully to convert young scientific minds to Newtonism by having them “measure” the Newton’s Soul by a toy pendulum factory set to oscillate with the right period to give the known value of G.

I thank Sheldon Glashow for writing The Errors & Animadversions of Honest Isaac Newton and Peter Woit for linking to it. (Read the interesting comments.)

I will write wrote a post about Glashow’s article. I think it is a good start coming from such a prominent Newtonian physicist  but not enough.
