If ever science is like religion and high-school clearly it is in the area of theoretical physics with its often unprovable theories sold as fact and infantile bickering and bashing that passes for criticism. History shows us that as science progresses many theories come and go, some lead to real knowledge and understanding, while most belong on a list of 'intellectual' fairy tales. Humanity is not perfect, not every theory can be correct, we need fairy-tale theory to spur discussion (not to produce a climate of hatred and conflict but rather to promote thought.) And, on occasion what is first dismissed as fairy tale is later shown to have at least some validity. <br /><br />Today, grade-school nonsense permeates the scientific culture as people scramble to seem witty or intelligent among their peers by attacking others personally, deriding or dismissing what they don't agree with often with no more evidence than the arguments they rail against. If the same energy was spent on seeking real knowledge as is spent on character assassination (note the two "ass"es, it is symbolic of the flatulence I determine to be rising out of both sides of this and similar 'discussions') humanity might be more properly served by science. <br /><br />As an outsider to the physics community (albeit one with a great interest in how things really work) I think the child-like and pseudo-intellectual manner in which many 'modern' scientists act is epidemic and appropriate as it illustrates quite clearly that universities produce far to many graduates and post-graduates. It seems to me that the majority of them are nothing more than dancing bears eager to please the crowd their trainers for some tasty treat. <br /><br />Why not just take a page from the anthropocentric global warming camp and simple claim consensus for any pet theory you choose to champion. This way no discussion would be needed, no empirical study, no need for reason, or logic or intellectual discourse and most importantly you can ride smugly on your high-horsie all the way across the school playground. Meanwhile, somewhere, real science can be done by the minority of truly intelligent people in the scientific community and in time their work will rise as sweet aromas from the putrified swamp that passes today as the scientific intelligentsia. <br /><br />If you are offended by this commentary perhaps you should remove some of the buckshot from your arse now.ConcernedLaymannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26325744.post-68879490646246813622009-01-09T15:54:00.000-08:002009-01-09T15:54:00.000-08:00wow, am I glad I left physics. what a bunch of wa...wow, am I glad I left physics. what a bunch of wankers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26325744.post-87449010623592567912008-04-18T13:45:00.000-07:002008-04-18T13:45:00.000-07:00Man, you physicists act like a bunch of faggots fi...Man, you physicists act like a bunch of faggots fighting over a purse.

They always use the same tactics and the result is always the same. They never admit error but they decrease their credibility in the eyes of fair minded people." <BR/><BR/>Smolin hyped lisi's non-theory with a lying title and false claims it could be tested.<BR/><BR/>Then he launches ad hominem attacks against the honest physicists who point out the lies, his hype, and the fallacies in his math a physics.<BR/><BR/>Note how much Lee can talk--on and on and on and on--without ever presenting an equation. Note all the ad hominem attacks and sociological theories. Note how he spends his time thickening the smoke screen behind which he hides his hundred-million-dollar sham--teh complete lack of physics or any advancement of physics from his career, his papers, his institute, his books, and his most verbose verbiage.<BR/><BR/>Not only does he have no physics, the man also has no shame.<BR/><BR/>Is it any wonder we have to keep anonymous, as hundreds of millions of dollars can buy him tens of postdocs and fanboys to propagate and perpetuate his mythology, which means trying to destroy true physicists via ad hominem attacks, time and time again.<BR/><BR/>Lee writes, "So what is really happening here? What has happened is that one very smart, but intellectually isolated young theoretical physicists has made a bold and risky proposal for unification of physics. Due to his personal circumstances, he got much too much media attention-something everyone including him agrees about and several of us including myself tried to stop."<BR/><BR/>Lee--you guys lead with Lisi's personal experiences. And you did nothing to try and stop it. How come you haven't edited his wiki pages tyo show that the whole event was a risky hoax, that ultimately bore no fruit whatsover, and is riddled with fallacies? Lee--you could have refused to talk tyo the media, or told the truth about lisi's non-tehory, but you lied about it and hyped it in article, after article, afater article. Where are your letters that you sent to the media frenzy you whipped up, trying to quell it? Please do share.<BR/><BR/>Lee continues: "A bunch of people who think they own the territory of unification are enraged. They react with all the classic symptoms of territory defense that the sociologists of science have catalogued. More troubling for them, Lisi’s proposal is set in the language of LQG, a rival approach which they already irrationally oppose because they think it threatens their hegemony over the territory of unification. The resulting behavior displayed makes my tentative conjectures about group-think look way too cautious, here we see all the classic signs of intellectuals acting irrationally because they feel their territory is threatened.<BR/>"<BR/><BR/>Hey Lee--you are the ultimate groupthink leader. Go by physicsforums.com and Bee's blog and Woit's blog and the rest of the media outlets who followed your groupthing lead. Indeed--Lisi's theory is set in teh language of LQG, thusly further exposing teh complete and utter bankruptcy of LQG?--a purely groupthink tehory that has never made one valid prediction nor contribution to physics. Lee--it is you and your groupthink fanboys who think you own unification. That is what motivated Lisi's lying title, as well as his false claims that his unified theory cpould be tested at the LHC.<BR/><BR/>Lee--here's a proposal. Stop promoting and hyping non-theories with fraudulent titles and false claims, and leveraging yoru fanboy groupthink network to inspire a media storm about teh non-theory. you and your fanboys have hundreds of millions of dollars, and it is sad that LQG/lisi are the best you can do, but please do not blame this on Distler and honest physicists.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26325744.post-79504733308792316252007-12-19T08:29:00.000-08:002007-12-19T08:29:00.000-08:00We have to be fair to Bee.How did she get her cush...We have to be fair to Bee.<BR/><BR/>How did she get her cushy blogging job?<BR/><BR/>What are her papers/publications?<BR/><BR/>I hope they are more than the typical meaningless groupthink mumbo jumbo.<BR/><BR/>She should think twice next time before bringing too much attention to a complete non-theory such as Lisi's which Smolin helped finance and hype.<BR/><BR/>But unlike Bee/Smolin, I do not believe in ad hominem attacks.<BR/><BR/>Let's talk about her physics.<BR/><BR/>Where might we find it?

EVEN HE IS TOO EMBARRASSED TO DEFEND HIS HOAX THEORY!!!<BR/><BR/>"Geez! on Dec 18th, 2007 at 11:50 am<BR/><BR/>Lee–<BR/><BR/>What is frustrating to the rest of us is that you always declare that you are making progress without anything technically correct and concrete to back it up. Just because you say it or write a paper about it doesn’t mean any progress has been made. No one is convinced by your paper–relying on your previous mechanism for getting fermions that in turn made absolutely no sense doesn’t make anything any better. Unfortunately physics needs equations and ideas and not just pretty pictures and wishful thinking.<BR/><BR/>I think you have a lot of nerve to assume that people should take you seriously when you have demonstrated above that you don’t understand the most basic things about field theory–what the PS model is, what parity means, what chirality means, that you can’t get a chiral from spontaneous breakdown of a vector theory and so on. Maybe to journalists or anyone that doesn’t know technical details of physics, your discussion with Jacques looks like “healthy dialog”. But to those in the know it is a complete embarrasment. Jacques had to teach you things I’m sure he has taught for years in his beginning field theory courses. This has nothing to do with the esoteric details of E8, but with basic, elementary QFT.<BR/><BR/>And why isn’t Peter Woit, prophet of the importance of representation theory in physics, chiming in on the group-theoretical issues with Lisi’s proposal? Still too busy complaining about manners? All of you alternative physics people can never put your money where your mouth is when it comes to physics discussion. Impartial external observers should take away the obvious lesson from this…"<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>LEE SMOLIN DOESN'T THINK LYING AND HYPING FAKE THEORIES IS UNPROFESSIONAL:<BR/><BR/>"Lee Smolin on Dec 18th, 2007 at 11:04 am<BR/><BR/>Dear HIGGS,<BR/><BR/>huh? You made a list of criticisms which I responded to by explaining how some of them are solved or addressed in subsequent work. Your response is highly unprofessional, it has no content except a statement of your unwillingness to engage in a scientific discussion based on results in papers (THERE ARE NO RESULTS IN LISI'/SMOLIN'S WOIT'S PAPERS!!). So why should anyone take anything else you have to say seriously?<BR/><BR/>Don’t you understand that to be taken seriously a scientist who wants to criticize other scientist’s work must be professional and precise in their criticisms (HOW CAN ONE PRECEICELY CRITICIZE COMPLETE BS? HAHAHAAHAHH!!! A NEW SMOLIN TECHNIQUE--> WRITE COMPLETE BS, AND WHEN SOMEONE CRITICIZES IT, CRITICIZE THEM FOR TALKING ABOUT BS!!! HAHAHHAAH!!) The point is to convince other scientists to change their minds and to do this you must show your respect for them and you must reason with them (YEAH JUST LIKE SMOLIN/WOIT/LISIS SHOWED THEIR RESPECT BY HYPING A NON-THEORY WITH A LYING TITLE TO FOX NEWS). When you degenerate from reasoning with people to insutling them, you are behaving unprofessionally because you hurt both the processes and the reputation of science (LEE/WOIT DO NOTHING BUT INSULT!!! THEY ARE NOT CAPAABLE OF SCIENCE!!!). It matters not the context in which you do this.<BR/><BR/>Thanks,<BR/><BR/>Lee"<BR/><BR/>Eric points out: "Eric on Dec 18th, 2007 at 11:14 am<BR/><BR/>Oh boy, here we go again with smokescreen tactic that Woit/Smolin use whenever they’re losing an argument of accusing the other side of being impolite."<BR/><BR/>So much for the LQG/Lisi movie deals and book deals.

From where I stand, HIGG’s comments have been very reasonable and on point.<BR/><BR/>H-I-G-G-S on Dec 17th, 2007 at 11:14 am <BR/>Dear Peter,<BR/><BR/>In a world where the internet can quickly provide personal information I think having a pseudoynm is perfectly appropriate. You can disagree, but please stop attacking me on this point. As to whether the<BR/>above was trash talking or appropriate responses to Lee’s unjustified attack on Distler, I’ll let readers make their own judgements.<BR/><BR/>Let me make one final point. You often complain about ad hominem attacks<BR/>and about people who attack you based on your publications or record rather than on the content of your posts. Please treat me in the way you wish to be<BR/>treated. You attack me personally for not revealing my true name or for “trash talking”, even after I offered an apology and then provided the details requested about my judgement of Lisi’s work. I’d appreciate it if you would not do this in the future. I of course am more than happy to respond to critical comments about the physics issues I am discussing. <BR/><BR/>H <BR/><BR/>p.s. as for the “deep breath” comment, I had the definite impression that Lee was responding quickly, without thinking things through, and was thus missing the important fact that \psi_R^* is left-handed and that this accounted for the discrepancy with Distler. Taking a deep breath and having a look at a QFT textbook seemed to be precisely what he needed to do. from: http://cosmicvariance.com/2007/11/16/garrett-lisis-theory-of-everything/<BR/><BR/>There you have it. The Lisi/Smolin/Woit team is compeltely incompetent when it comes to physics and math, and so they have set up a polical machine to pump the blogosphere with propaganda, and destroy true physicists with ad hominem attacks.<BR/><BR/>Let's see how long their childish and totalitarian tactics last.
