The Nobel Prize for Guessing.

Post by retepsnikrep »

I think they've finally lost it. The Magic Roundabout boffins and their particle accelerators. They are colliding to confusion, faster all the time and more and bits are flying off. Their conclusions are roughly as follows...

One cat can be in two boxes at once.

Light from a galaxy knows when we are looking at it.

When you stir your tea, Betelgeuse makes it go up the sides of the cup.

These are not hypotheses, they are facts from Zebedee and Florence.

They say 'Don't try to understand, just accept it.' Well that isn’t reasonable is it. We can't help trying to understand everything. If we paid a 'Beyond our Comprehension' Tax, we wouldn't like it. Sorry, that example's like VAT.

Science has been jumped into the realms of nonsense and enough is enough. The world law as enacted by yours truly now categorises Quantum Mechanics to the Forbidden Mystery status. Like Devil Worship. Put all that effort and money into the making of cars and pizzas.

Alternatively, we can all join in and have a go and get ourselves a Nobel Prize for Guessing.

If it’s right one day, they can’t ignore you, you thought of it first.

I claim the following insights....

Light is not a wave or a particle it is an ointment.

There are six billion parallel universes, i.e. one for each of us. The proof here is that when someone else puts something away for you, you can't find it. Of course not, it's in their universe.

Gravity is elastic painted with invisible ink.

There are more particles in an atom than stars in the sky. Just.(A sure fire winner)

That'll do. They all sound so reasonable.

Our scientists will say, look at the advantages we've already got from them, microwave ovens, cyberpets, etc. Ok but we've got them now and it's like pontoon. Lets stick unless we twist and bust.

Just my view.

Your scientists are just telling you what their evidence is suggesting to them, as ever, however strange and bizarre it may seem. These ideas are coming from the same people who told you that the earth was round, that it went round the sun, that the air is a gas mixture of nitrogen, oxygen, and argon, that the thing that keeps you on the ground is gravity, that we are made of atoms, that the sun is a star, that your heart pumps blood round your body, that we are descended from other earlier species, that atom bombs were possible, along with powered flight, space travel, computers, TV, radio, electricity, and antibiotics, and also that you are made of DNA.

Supposedly clever people at certain times thought all these ideas laughable as well, but of course now we know better, scientists often get things wrong, but they get things right far more often than any other comparable intellectual discipline that I know of. My suggestion is that instead of scoffing at such things and making blanket statements about things you seem to understand very little about, you should perhaps learn something more about scientists do what they do, and then come to a more considered judgment.

Science has advanced so much that it is beyond the comprehension of the layman. In Newton's day a learned man could know almost everything about scientific knowledge. Today it is specialised and no-one can know one tenth of everything that is known. If you wish to understand you must study until you become a proffessor in a subject, then go back and study each subject you wish to understand. By this time knowledge will have advanced again so you will have to go back to university, or keep things simple and believe in a flat earth etc...
