So what I'm trying to say is, the physicist is not an arrogant know-it-all asserting "I am right". He or she is saying: "this is a good model, it seems to explain things, let's use it unless something better comes up. And let's try and gain a better understanding at the same time". Otherwise there would be no intake of new physicists to replace those who have died. But there are!

Do a google search on Manc33 and draw your own conclusions.
He has succeeded in drawing y'all into his strange world. Over on BR when these baits were dangled eventually discussion turned to frustration and then to mocking before he got shown the door. You seem to be more tolerant here. Mind you, there were 60+ pages of it there on the notorious Conspiracy Theory thread as well as multiple derailings of other threads.
Manc-watch over and out.

I do hope the Moon doesn't turn out to be too transparent! I'm planning to go and see an eclipse next year (in Indonesia ).jochta wrote:Not heard much about the transparent Moon recently...

Ah but put your two black dots on a horizontal line and see the curvature the light needs to refract around, over a hump of water about 500 feet tall. This curve is incredibly shallow as the Earth is a really big thing. Someone who can be bothered to do the maths will work out angle A for you for an object 58 miles away (it'll be very small). Note that this is assuming your eyeball is resting on the Earth's surface.
Ideal physicist? If only there were such a creature! We'd now have perfect explanations of Dark Matter, Dark Energy, etc. etc., not to mention String theory and/or a TOE....beardy wrote:You may be describing an ideal physicist there.

Yes, because of the way they dress, their attitude, and the way they walk and talk. Nothing you can put your finger on precisely, but a "certain something" is evident.beardy wrote:In my experience you can normally pick out doctors (and teachers)
