"MUMMY, MUMMY, the mean man said I was wrong!! Make man go bye bye!!! Wah Wah!!"
The smartest thing you have ever said. Where did you parrot it from?
"MUMMY, MUMMY, the mean man said I was wrong!! Make man go bye bye!!! Wah Wah!!"
That the best you can do? I'm still waiting for your calculations which back up your claims about inflation predicting heavy elements and the universe recollapsing. What's the matter, can't put your physics where your mouth is?
Of course, this guy can't possibly be talking about the unknown energy scale of the big microscope, he must mean unknown forces that are about to rip the Swiss Alps, and then the planet apart."Will we find the Higgs particle at the LHC?
That, of course, is the question. And the answer is, science is what we do when we don't know what we're doing."
And CERN spokesmodel Brian Cox follows with this stunning quote: "..the LHC is certainly, by far, the biggest jump into the unknown."
The CERN-LHC website Mainpage itself states quote: "There are many theories as to what will result from these collisions,..."
Nice strawman. You claimed that inflation models predict lots of heavy elements. Considering people have done calculations which show the opposite, you should be able to do the calculations to back up your claims.Explain every physical process that takes place in a body from a thought to getting up and going for a walk.
You can't? That means you cannot walk anywhere or physically do anything. Or it does to use your usual faulty reasoning. You can mathematically prove how many angels you can get on the head of a pin but not much use in the real world. Only in maths world. Which explains your vain boasting and bragging, but also explains your lack of real world knowledge.
I could put my car where your mouth is, or park it in your hat.
Don't you get bored with losing?
When a wise man & a fool argue long enough, it becomes difficult to tell who is the fool
For some time, I have wondered how Paul would react to the event, should it happen, that LHC makes its most energetic possible collisions and we are all still here. He is a psychology prof, so he too must have wondered some about the personnel impact, should it occur, of looking so foolish for so long. How to cope?...All the children will thank you for your kind actions on their behalf and may the good God have mercy on our souls!...
Paul W. Dixon, Ph.D.
Professor of Psychology and Linguistics
Nominated by whom? Can I nominate my mum? Can you nominate yourself?I believe that Paul Dixon likely has been nominated. That's a far cry from being awarded a Nobel Prize. Lots of people are nominated, just like lots of people are nominated for Oscars, but aren't awarded them. I don't believe that's an example of lying.
I did look actually. And his publications are not in say things like "Topological field theory and it's applications to deSitter tunnelling in relativity", which would be relevant to this discussion, but instead on the psychology of scientific research. Someone asking me "How does research make you feel" is not contributing to my research.Also, if you check out Dixon's CV, you'll see he's got many papers published in various fields of scientific endeavour in reputable journals - certainly far more papers than you.
As I've said to you and Ubonatuva on PhysOrg, if you were really serious about your worry the LHC will kill us all and you had worked through all the results you keep claiming, you'd be able to engage anyone (particularly a lowly PhD student whose not published like me) and provide us with detailed calculations and analysis of the models you talk about. The fact you don't speaks volumes.There's an old saying about casting one's pearls before swine, and I seriously doubt that Dixon is going to want to engage you in debate, particularly since he rarely engages anyone in debate.
And it's an insult to people like John Ellis, one of the leading scientific minds of our age, to have to pander to whiny idiots whose complaints seem to amount to "I know nothing of this topic but I'm doing to make a big song and dance about it because I misunderstood someone's explanation of the aforementioned topic I don't understand, and refuse to try to understand because deep down I know I won't understand, and so I demand people who do understand expand their valuable time and energy to provide me with explanations I'll ultimately ignore, because I won't understand."That's not to say that I endorse everything Dixon says - but I do believe that you should watch your language. It demeans this forum to make false accusations impugning a person's reputation.
Nominated by whom? Can I nominate my mum? Can you nominate yourself?
I was under the impression that nominations are done by reputable people in your field. To use your analogy, you don't get into the final 4 for an oscar because some guy on the street writes a letter to the Oscar committee but because a survey of your peers or the relevant people in the industry brings up your name a lot.
Is Paul well known in the scientific community? Got any evidence?

Can you give me a specific example from his CV which is a scientific publication of the kind I just said he didn't do?
He's misrepresenting himself. At least you aren't as bad as him. Your degree and PhD are not in physics, though you don't mention that when saying your qualifications.

You make claims about the quantity of collisions producing black holes. I ask you to back up your numbers, you can't. You claim Hawking radiation can tunnel energy and mass into a black hole. I ask you to back up your claims, you can't. So what are you basing your claims on? What is Paul basing his claims on? If you cannot provide anything other than "Well I kind think it's like that :shrug:" then it smacks of "I'm hysterical about something I don't understand and I'm willing to make up lies about it to try to convince others!".
Is this a false accusation? Am I hurling about unsubstantiated criticism like a monkey throwing it's own crap? Well if I am, back up your claims. It's not hard. It's something you should be able to do if you're planning on going to court for this.
And it's an insult to people like John Ellis, one of the leading scientific minds of our age, to have to pander to whiny idiots whose complaints seem to amount to "I know nothing of this topic but I'm doing to make a big song and dance about it because I misunderstood someone's explanation of the aforementioned topic I don't understand, and refuse to try to understand because deep down I know I won't understand, and so I demand people who do understand expand their valuable time and energy to provide me with explanations I'll ultimately ignore, because I won't understand."
If you think I'm making false accusations, back up your claims. If you're competent at this kind of stuff it shouldn't be hard. When Reiku challenged me to a 'Physics-off' it only took me as long as it takes to type a post to answer some of his questions. You're having to go to court for this and you think the entire existence of the human race is at stake and you can't spend 30 minutes providing the calculations you claim exist?!
False accusations indeed....
Scientific integrity and if Paul is emailing people at CERN and Fermilab every time he posts here it amounts to harassment.Why do you even care AN?
CERN will be providing HUGE amounts of information to 'my world' for more than a decade to come.It's not as if the actions of someone else around here impedes your world
Got any examples?wrapped up in lies you have created yourself, never mind the lies you claim others are making.
How am I unmodest? Do I claim to be competent at things I'm not (like you or Walter)? Nope. Do I claim to be top of my field? Nope. If anything, I have repeatedly said I'm close to the bottom. I've yet to meet someone at a conference in my area who I think "I'm probably better at this stuff than you". Do I lie about who I am and what I do (like you)? Nope.You must be very insecure, to be such an un-modest scientist.
I'm not talking for him. I'm just saying he's definitely got better things to do than delete spam emails from Paul.Scientific integrity.?? AN, you would show more integrity about yourself if you actually left the powers that be to fight the claims of Paul. You are not in a position to talk for John Ellis, but Paul is in a particular position to fight against it. That's the right of most country's.
I'm afraid that whiny clueless idiots will hold back scientific advancement yes.So you are afraid it will impede your world afterall?
Firstly, it's more than just me. Secondly, the cost is in time, money, resources and man power and considerably less than say a month in Iraq.Is there a truth then behind Pauls claims that some knowledges are at a valuable cost, even for your education?
Perhaps if they could back up their claims and stopped telling such transparent lies?I don't think you realize half the time, but your judgement is really bad on some individuals, knowing very little about their lives, but still making rash judgments on them.
My views of cranks do not stem from my scientific knowledge. I am not defined by the books I read and the work I do. I have long had a short fuse for idiots, long before I got into physics.You're unmodest, because you don't cease these pointless arguements.
I make a mockery of lies, frauds and fools. All three categories you reside within.You make a mockery of people who started the conversation
I give you and Walter plenty of opportunities to prove me wrong. How many months have you had now?initiate false conclusions about who it is you argue with.
