→"Beautiful, but not robust" Quote: reply
Well, clearly the quote does not speak for itself, since it comes at the end of a long lecture praising the progress that has been made in QFT. As far as lack of robustness being a weakness--it seems like this is the exact opposite point Weinberg is trying to make. He discusses, for example, how pleased he was when people discovered the need for theories to be renormalizeable. His point was that this was a hard condition for a theory to satisfy, and therefore imposing that condition greatly narrowed the search for the correct theory. I hope that clarifies the point I was trying to make. --[[User:Lemonpeel|Lemonpeel]] 21:19, 15 June 2009 (EDT)

:"Lemonpeel", your statement is again incoherent. You state, "clearly the quote does not speak for itself, '''since it comes at the end of a long lecture praising the progress that has been made in QFT'''." The same could be said about some of our close-minded liberal editors. When one starts from zero, one can make infinite "progress" and still be virtually at zero.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 21:27, 15 June 2009 (EDT)
