Rethinking Our Science History -- Read a Chapter

[Max]

Andy. Just read the first chapter there... to my (informally educated) eye it looks like hooey. The "law violations" McCutcheon highlights indicate his misunderstanding and oversimplification of the "standard model".

I would have to agree with Max. Scientific Laws work the same everywhere in this universe. If it works enough to send spacecraft to other planets, or to operate a giant centrifuge breaking down the atom to identify the smallest particles, both of which require precise measurements following a vast number of scientific laws, then I would argue that it validates the science. While there are still many theory’s that have not been proven the vast majority have been. Now if we’re talk about String Theory, the connection between Relativity and Quantum physics, that is still a work in progress theory, but looks very promising; at least I think so.

PS, I really hate it when authors write on subjects that they know little about, and then pass it on as facts. Beware, these charlatans run amuck.

there is a comment on the feedback thread about andy above posting his blurb on a lot of the forums
the feedback writer thinks he's a spammer

andy are you a spammer trying to sell this book?

Hey Maureen,

This guy is everywhere. Here, Shelfari, Amazon, Wikipedia. Apparently he uses a spambot, so you won't hear from him again. OR if you do it'll be the same message.

what do you think about Michio Kaku?

[Max]

I've been listening to old episodes of his radio show on KPFA. Aside from a lot of self promotion ("Hi, I'm Michio Kaku, you may remember me from such best selling books as Hyperspace and The Physics of the Impossible...") he has terrifically interesting guests and his interview style is laid back and comfortable. The show is accessible to someone (like me) with little formal science education.

I have read a couple of his books and they really are good. (not a professional, but I can understand what he is saying)
