For-Profit College CEOS Rolling in Dough, Including Bridgepoint
RE #6: For many years, there has been a tendency for teachers to pick up a master's degree as a way of getting to the maximum pay rate in an elementary school classroom. I wonder how many of those master's degrees came from a university actually accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, as opposed to something that just might be classified as a "diploma mill" that has been merely accredited by the US Department of Education to receive student loan income...— November 10, 2010 11:40 p.m.
Einstein, That Clown: Special Relativity Refuted at Bull's Smokin' BBQ
RE #1 & #2: I don't guarantee that Einstein is absolutely correct; it is possible that someone who knows what he or she is doing can refine the accepted theories of relativity in some way. On the other hand, there is about a century of empirical verification of the results that are predicted by those relativistic theories. The comments about listening to engineers in the field while disregarding physicists at universities is interesting because all engineers generally complete three university semesters or quarters of calculus-based physics BEFORE starting their engineering major courses. For an example of the infallibility of engineers who may have brain-flushed shortly after graduation, search for the news video seen today for the botched demolition job where a large tower just "fell the wrong way." Great job, dudes.— November 10, 2010 11:25 p.m.
Einstein, That Clown: Special Relativity Refuted at Bull's Smokin' BBQ
I can bend light by reflecting it off a mirror or directing it through water. I can break it apart into separate colors with a prism. I ain't no physicist, just a clown who was given a math degree with honors as a friendly parting gift. A physicist (which I am not) may have something to say about absolute references, especially regarding this planet orbiting the sun orbiting the center of the galaxy spinning through space... I'm tempted to wonder what else is smoked at the BBQ. What happens if high schoolers start tearing it apart? The theory, not the BBQ! For an example of a Theory of Everything as a Grand Unification Theory (or GUT to real nerds) that relates the standard particle physics model with gravity by embedding them both into a non-associative structure called a Lie algebra, see A. Garrett Lisi's papers, written after his graduation from UCSD: Lisi, A. G. (2007) An Exceptionally Simple Theory of Everything http://arxiv.org/pdf/0711.0770v1 --- _____ (2010) An Explicit Embedding of Gravity and the Standard Model in E8 http://arxiv.org/pdf/1006.4908 Lisi's work has had some peer review in critical articles but to my knowledge has not been published in a peer-reviewed theoretical physics journal. Still, it has religious implications for me as to empirical science one day proving the existence of God.— November 10, 2010 10:57 p.m.
