Keep your creepy hypnosis away from our leaders in Washington! Quit monkeying with their brains! They have enough to carry without you trying to drag them down into your Planet of the Apes.

Raja Hagelin's lecture has become charged with super strings.

I heard a great quote the other day....

''Unified field theory: metaphysics in physics clothing''

@amabodei we would all love to hear your reasoned arguments against Unified Field theory. I also have a quote: A witty saying proves nothing. — Voltaire

@GARYBLONDER

A witty saying proves nothing, but proof is nothing without a sharp wit ;)

In the case of UFT, my concern is that there may never be any good arguments against it.

[GARYBLONDER]

@amabodei I would agree that wit is a useful tool in teaching, but in reasoned scientific debate it is no more than rudeness. Regarding Unified Field theory, and for that matter any theory or hypothesis, you do not have to disprove it, simply propose a more robust alternative model. Finally, I would point out that the Information Revolution is still in full swing and as technology and our ability to communicate ideas to each other continues to improve, so does what can be proven.
