"It is a thousand times better to have common sense without education than to have education without common sense." Robert G. Ingersoll ------------ Common sense tells one that hundreds of years of science to get to where we are now cannot be discarded for some layman's brand of kook science that he pulled out of his ass. THAT is common sense. I'm sure you agree with that. Right John?

You don't throw "hundreds of years" of Science away. Science "corrects" once in awhile. Especially after spending billions on fruitless endeavours like looking for stupid shit like DM and gravity waves when it has been LOGICALLY obvious for decades that "gravitons" are impossible

Strict causal determinism, which was a cornerstone of classical physics in the 19th century, was found to be simply wrong. Just wrong. OK as an approximation, but not as a foundational principle. Independent space and time, also a cornerstone of Newtonian physics for three centuries, were discovered to be flat wrong. No matter how intuitive that feels. The fact that *all* of nature is based on fields, and not on the particles and waves of 19th century physics, was a huge leap and not really of the category "correction". The static, eternal universe was so entrenched in physicists' minds that even Einstein fought for it, but it turned out to be wrong. And it's not just physics. Infectious agents in the 19th century were thought to necessarily be living. But then there were viruses, which do not meet the criteria for live. So then people thought that the thing needed was DNA. Then came prions, and most biologists thought that was too much to accept, but indeed it ended up true. > Especially after spending billions on > fruitless endeavours like looking for > stupid shit like DM and gravity waves > when it has been LOGICALLY obvious > for decades that "gravitons" are > impossible > John, I just got through a post where I pointed out that no one ANYWHERE except for you thinks of gravitons as something traveling from body A to body B in STRAIGHT LINES to effect an attraction of B to A. That's not what gravitons do. So, yes, YOUR idea of gravitons defies logic, but not the REAL idea of gravitons, which you have yet to learn about by reading. -- Odd Bodkin --- maker of fine toys, tools, tables

Odd Now we're GETTING somewhere!! You say that gravitons DO NOT travel in straight lines. Can you then explain how the gravitational impetus is STRAIGHT towards VERY distant bodies? Those gravitons must have a memory of where they came from. Explain how that can be. (I'm not saying they can't, and I have an explanation for that, but please, PLEASE, answer this once, Odd.)

Sure, that's the weighted sum of gravitational quanta traveling all over the place. You know this already, John. You KNOW light does not travel in straight lines. Diffraction proves that. Light bending around corners is an experimental reality. And DESPITE that, common sense and sensory experience tells us that light moves in straight lines, even though it DOESN'T. So then the question is, how can the two be reconciled? A simple-minded person would go polar and just reject one or the other out of hand. "If light didn't travel in straight lines, you'd never have a sharp-edged shadow, so light going all over makes no sense." or conversely, "Diffraction proves light must be a wave, so any particle concept of light must be flat wrong, including photoelectric effect." Polar rejection is not helpful. Being simple-minded is not helpful. Instead, there is work needed to see how light can give every appearance of traveling in straight lines in everyday life, even though we know it does not, and that RECONCILIATION is how you learn what light really does. > Those gravitons must > have a memory of where they came from. > Explain how that can be.

I just read a book that took 60 pages to explain that. But for the case of light, which is very much the same kind of thing, with photons not traveling in straight lines even though there is the experience that light SEEMS to travel in straight lines. This is EXACTLY what Feynman described in his short little book called QED, which is aimed at nonmathematical people like you. So if you want to learn how light can not travel in straight lines but seem to, READ THAT BOOK.

You do know that dark matter doesn't depend on the existence of gravitons? You do know that gravitational waves don't depend on the existence of gravitons? So even if you think gravitons are nonsense, what does that have to do with dark matter or gravitational waves? Also, you haven't answered any of the questions about funding. What is IN YOUR OPINION the cap that should be put on investigating shot-in-the-dark ideas? Is that cap also in effect for your shot-in-the-dark ideas? -- Odd Bodkin --- maker of fine toys, tools, tables

You don't throw "hundreds of years" of science away. Science "corrects" once in awhile. --------- Understand this, John. It is never a kook that makes corrections to science. It is other mainstream scientists who do that using mainstream science methodology. All of science is built upon the foundations laid down by other scientists. Even the fantastic leaps of scientific intuition made by Newton, Maxwell and Einstein were built by standing on the shoulders of their forebears and then seeing beyond.

of course Tesla invented most of the 20th century but H&V calls him a
kook. HVAC says you never have to make sense when you are just making
shit up.

A great many of which were totally wrong which is why the new idea is an
advance. No doubt H&V still thinks heat is a flow of phlogiston.

This is the level of H&V's understanding of science. Like any pro writer
he can quote ALL the great shibboleths of the day. Understand actual
science...well, not so much.

That's the problem Odd. All science can do is solve problems but can't
really explain anything. It only solves problems within the confines of
it's own metaparadigm and that means all the "forbidden" topics must be
excluded.

I have given numerous references to the scientific work done on ESP,
Remote viewing and the like with many excellent books easily available
on Amazon.com. HVAC prefers not to read anything so as to remain
ignorant. I have referenced a number of Nobel prize-winning scientists
who have found significant ESP evidence. HVAC who thinks he is the
“moderator” of an unmoderated newsgroup thinks he's smarter than them. I
have referenced government projects costing millions verifying ESP
effects. In spite of FOIA proof, HVAC acts as if they do not exist. I
have listed PROOF BEYOND DOUBT of a government cover-up of UFO
information from the government's own documents. HVAC admits nothing.
So everybody, the ONLY thing that anonymous HVAC (whatever that is) has
going for "him" is the assertion that this or that person "believes" in
Ghosts, ESP, or the like. That's it. He has ONLY his "superpowers" to
tell you what another person has in their mind! No evidence, no records
of posts, nada. Of course such “superpowers” would be ESP, would they
not? Science is only about evidence. Religion and pseudoscience is about
"belief". HVAC has no science education and knows no science.
So the only question YOU must ask is are you interested in science or
strategic writer fantasy. Make your choice.
These paragraphs will be repeated every time HVAC accuses someone of
"believing" in something.
PS. My “superpowers” tell me HVAC is Gay and needs to come out.

He seems perplexed: > https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sci.physics.research/QOxLdbhLwQ0/-P3rzQpxCgAJ I'm not interested in Koenig in a different newsgroup. I'm interested in the contradiction that YOU perceive, and which contradiction YOU can cite. Since YOU mentioned some unspecified contradiction, perhaps you could populate your imagination with something concrete. > >> >> And in my book, knowledge of physics is entrained with problem-solving >> ability. > > Entrained, huh.
