Accept there is good music out there. For example Steven Wilson's 2015 release Hand.Cannot.Erase is good music. 2015 was an excellent year for brainy music.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8148573551417578681.post-86858643467453756532015-06-10T23:09:00.637-07:002015-06-10T23:09:00.637-07:00Lets face reality,
Quantum Mechanics has spawne...Lets face reality, <br /><br />Quantum Mechanics has spawned a new culture.<br /><br />This new culture can be summarized as: ANYTHING GOES!<br /><br />How can you have a fabric of society when there are no rules. Apparently, its rational because our best and most experimentally verified theory, Quantum Mechanics, has an achillies heel...that is...a black box open to interpretation. <br /><br />Therefore, in our financialized economies, the invisible middle man can do whatever he/she pleases as well. Its perfectly legal. So the financial skimming at Goldman Sachs and 0% interest rates isn't a criminal enterprise, its god at work. Just like the QM magic box. <br /><br />Until Quantum Mechanics is completed and experimentally updated, ...<br /><br />The World will Burn with Unimaginable Fraud. <br /><br />But I expect the extremely difficult and costly experiments have no chance of being performed and the genius scientists cannot even scrape out an existence working on such a problem. The world is full of financial rackets, not Henri Poincares. The scientific complex is now a gaming system that rewards quantity, not quality.<br /><br />The scientific enterprise is now a very lonely endeavor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8148573551417578681.post-85668547536245039632015-06-10T22:54:25.660-07:002015-06-10T22:54:25.660-07:00Look in your pathetic neighborhood, ...casinos ev...Look in your pathetic neighborhood, ...casinos everywhere. What are the old folks doing? Buying lottery tickets. The stock market? Just another corrupt casino. The energy transition? There is none. Good music? There is none. There are no rules, there is no fabric of society. <br /><br />Is this the culture possible for scientific progress?<br /><br />Nope. And its all because of Quantum Mechanics. Not that its wrong...that it is conceptually and experimentally incomplete. <br /><br />The hard divide between theoretical physics and mathematical physics is destroying both fields. Hell, pure mathematicians aren't even serious about the subject any longer.<br /><br />Where is the Henri Poincare of 2015? The world desperately needs a Poincare, not these attention seeking idiots like Sean Carroll or authoritarians like Lubos Motl. <br /><br />2015 is a VERY dangerous time. There are aspiring Pol Pots who want the people to return to backward agrarian ways. And certainly the emperors of commerce seem to have little regard for fundamental science. Who shall be the scholars that keep things straight?<br /><br />I fear this rapidly crumbling society has no longer the will for expensive experiments to further test our best physics theoriesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8148573551417578681.post-73713521697697392122015-06-10T22:32:31.435-07:002015-06-10T22:32:31.435-07:00Crackpot here again, delete my posts away again.
...Crackpot here again, delete my posts away again.<br /><br />If Quantum Theory is so experimentally complete then,<br /><br />Why all the QUANTUM HYPE? Forget string theory, it really applies to QT.<br /><br />The world is burning because the classical world of deterministic lumps of mechanistic matter was overthrown by a new regime, namely Quantum Mechanics. But in this new regime,<br /><br />ANYTHING GOES!<br /><br />Why?<br /><br />Because state collapse is an assumption tacked onto Quantum Theory.<br /><br />Bohr taught us how language can lead us astray<br />Heisenberg taught us that potentia is a good way of thinking about the quantum state in its potential form before specific aspects become manifest<br /><br />In the end though, something new has to come along to convert the potential into the manifest. There has to be something linked to the complexity of the measuring apparatus compared to the simplicity of a couple of particles. <br /><br />Decoherence is not it. It is not mathematically rigorous. <br /><br />Some form of active information is influencing the evolution of quantum systems. No breakthrough technological progress can occur until this is resolved.<br /><br />If Ed Witten is such a genius, why hasn't he completed Quantum Mechanics? He doesn't even know there is anything wrong with it. Todays physicists are terrible. Too much communism. And there is Peter Woit telling his flock to avoid the physics department altogether and head straight to pure mathematics. That is suicide.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
