Thank You For This Forum!! Physics Has Been Taken Over By Arrogant Idiot Poseurs!

[caltechpostdoc]

I'm a foreign caltech postdoc, and American physics has been taken over by bawdy strumpets, hookers, and prostitutes--no offense to workers in the sex industry--Vegas is cool.

A sign of the times is this:

http://cosmicvariance.com/

The site is complete with pictures of postmodern String Theorists using TAX PAYER DOLLARS (not mine) to SING AND DANCE!!!

Do Phenomenologists Sing and Dance Better Than String Theorists?

LOOK AT THE PICTURES!! THEY'RE GIVING PHYSICS STUDENTS AND THE PUBLIC THE MIDDLE FINGER AS PHYSICS DIES!!

LOOK AT THIS HOME PAGE!! NO PUBLICATIONS!!!
http://www.slac.stanford.edu/slac/fa...ty/hewett.html

LOOK AT THE RESEARCH!!
Research Areas
Theoretical particle physics; phenomenology of electroweak interactions within and beyond the Standard Model, collider signatures and effects in rare processes. Heavy flavor physics. Signature of extra spacetime dimensions.

"SIGNATURE OF EXTRA SPACETIME DIMESNIONS???? IS THIS WHERE ELVIS'S AUTOGRAPH CAN BE FOUND?"

"HEAVY FLAVOR PHYSICS! SHE'S LAUGHING AT YOU AS SHE GETS PAID $100,000 OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS WHILE SINCERE POSTDOCS AND GRAD STUDENTS STARVE!!!"

LOOK AT THIS HOMEPAGE!!
http://physics.usc.edu/%7Ejohnson1/

NO MEANINGFUL RESEARCH PAPERS!! IT'S ALL NEITHER HERE-NOR-THERE UNTESTABLE HOCUS-POCUS!! EINSTEIN!! NEWTON!! PLEASE FORGIVE US!!

LOOK AT THIS TOTAL BS!! (pardon moi francais) THIS IS NOT PHYSICS!! IT IS SCIENCE FICTION!!!

# Time machines in (2+1)-dimensional gravity

Is it possible to travel backwards in time? Embarassingly, we don't know the answer to that question nearly as well as we should. I worked with Edward Farhi, Alan Guth and Ken Olum on obstacles to constructing time machines in (2+1) dimensional gravity, a possibility first suggested by Richard Gott (PRL server). We showed that (2+1) dimensional open universes could be classified into two types: those that inevitably contained a Gott time machine, and those that could never contain one. The case of closed universes was solved by 't Hooft (spires listing), who showed that any attempt to build a Gott time machine in a closed universe would be foiled by collapse to a singularity before the time machine could arise. Our work was briefly considered newsworthy. For general information on the sticky subject of time travel in the context of general relativity, see the sci.physics faq, Scientific American's ask the experts, or some thoughts from John Gribbin.

AMERICAN PHYSICS IS A BIG GOVERNMENT FUNDED HOAX--STRING THEORY IS A WAY TO ROPE HEALTH BENEFITS AND TAX AND TUITION DOLLARS!!! A PONZI GAME!!

I am an experimental physicist--I work for a living.

Loved these quotes!!

"The great irony of string theory, however, is that the theory itself is not unified. To someone learning the theory for the first time, it is often a frustrating collection of folklore, rules of thumb, and intuition. (IN OTHER WORDS IT IS NOT PHYSICS!!!) At times, there seems to be no rhyme or reason for many of the conventions of the model. For a theory that makes the claim of providing a unifying framework for all physical laws, it is the supreme irony that the theory itself appears so disunited!!"

“If Einstein were alive today, he would be horrified at this state of affairs. He would upbraid the profession for allowing this mess to develop and fly into a blind rage over the transformation of his beautiful creations into ideologies and the resulting proliferation of logical inconsistencies. Einstein was an artist and a scholar but above all he was a revolutionary. His approach to physics might be summarized as hypothesizing minimally. Never arguing with experiment, demanding total logical consistency, and mistrusting unsubstantiated beliefs. The unsubstantial belief of his day was ether, or more precisely the naïve version of ether that preceded relativity. The unsubstantiated belief of our day is relativity itself. It would be perfectly in character for him to reexamine the facts, toss them over in his mind, and conclude that his beloved principle of relativity was not fundamental at all but emergent—a collective property of the matter constituting space-time that becomes increasingly exact at long length scales but fails at short ones. This is a different idea from his original one but something fully compatible with it logically, and even more exciting and potentially important. It would mean that the fabric of space-time was not simply the stage on which life played out but an organizational phenomenon, and that there might be something beyond.” –A Different Universe, Reinventing Physics From The Bottom Down, Robert B. Laughlin, Winner of the Nobel Prize in physics for his work on the fractional quantum Hall effect.

“[String Theory] has no practical utility, however, other than to sustain the myth of the ultimate theory. There is no experimental evidence for the existence of strings in nature, nor does the special mathematics of string theory enable known experimental behavior to be calculated or predicted more easily. Moreover, the complex spectroscopic properties of space accessible with today’s mighty accelerators are accountable in only as “low-energy phenomenology”—a pejorative term for transcendent emergent properties of matter impossible to calculate from first principles. String theory is, in fact, a textbook case of Deceitful Turkey, a beautiful set of ideas that will always remain just barely out of reach. Far from a wonderful technological hope for a greater tomorrow, it is instead the tragic consequence of an obsolete belief system—in which emergence plays no role and dark law does not exist.”
