Starship Asterisk*

A crank called David de Hilster who is a follower of autodynamics (anti relativity cult) has made his own version of wikipedia specifically for people who have non mainstream ideas on cosmology/physics and science in general

check it out - http://www.newiki.org

As far as I can tell new users will get vetted so they don't change the articles back to the standard model. You are not allowed to post on mainstream or even fringe of mainstream science it has to be new theories. It might be fun to subtley vandalise it though.

Micheal, Harry, Halton et al. should go and add their theories

America Has A Thinking Problem : Don't let this happen to you!


I began to think at parties now and then, to loosen up. Inevitably though, one thought led to another, and soon I was more than just a social thinker.

I began to think alone -- "to relax," I told myself -- but I knew it wasn't true. Thinking became more and more important to me, and finally I was thinking all the time.

I began to think on the job. I knew that thinking and employment don't mix, but I couldn't stop myself. I began to avoid friends at lunchtime so I could read Thoreau and Kafka. I would return to the office dizzied and confused, asking, "What is it exactly we are doing here?"

Things weren't going so great at home either. One evening I turned off the TV and asked my wife about the meaning of life. She fled to our daughter's house and spent the night.

I soon had a reputation as a heavy thinker. One day the boss called me in. He said, "George, I like you, and it hurts me to say this, but your thinking has become a real problem at the office. If you don't stop thinking on the job, you'll have to find work elsewhere." This gave me a lot more to think about.

I came home early after my conversation with the boss. "Honey," I confessed, "I've been thinking..."

"I know you've been thinking," she said, "and I want a divorce!"

"But Honey, surely it's not that serious."

"It is serious," she said, lower lip a quiver. "You think as much as a college professor, and college professors don't make any money. If you keep on thinking, we won't have any money at all!"

"That's a faulty syllogism," I said impatiently, and she began to cry. I'd had enough. "I'm going to the library," I snarled as I stomped out the door. I headed for the library, in the mood for some Nietzsche, with NPR on the radio. I roared into the parking lot and ran up to the big glass doors... they didn't open. The library was closed. To this day, I believe that a Higher Power was looking out for me that night. As I sank to the ground clawing at the unfeeling glass, whimpering for Zarathustra, a poster caught my eye. "Friend, is heavy thinking ruining your life?" it asked.

You probably recognize that line. It comes from the standard Thinker's Anonymous poster which is why I am what I am today: a recovering thinker. I never miss a TA meeting. At each meeting we watch a non-educational video; last week it was "Porky's." Then we share experiences about how we avoided thinking since the last meeting. I still have my job, and things are a lot better at home. Life just seemed.... easier, somehow, as soon as I stopped thinking.

Soon, I will be able to vote Republican

A quick search on the internet shows that this material is hardly original - are your the author, kovil?

The Alex Jones of Physics. I see he got the same background as me, just another computer scientist with a strong opinion. Anyway, it's his website so he's free to moderate the wiki, just as the moderators of this forum are.

But still, he's seems like a funny guy: Axions of Evil

in [url=http://www.sciencewatchdogs.org/main/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=19]Axions of Evil[/url] hishadow wrote:Jain says that the lifetime of Axions is less than or equal to 10^-13 seconds, after which they decay into a positron/electron pair. He finds the origins of the positron/electron pairs to peak at about 300 micrometers from the particle beam collision point. So, if the axion is created at the collision point and decays in no more than 10^-13 seconds, then that means it was traveling at about 10 times the speed of light! Doesn't that break special relativity's golden rule that they hold so sacred? Am I missing something here?

Dilation?
