| − | == A point of view on this article ==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Hi! First of all, pardon my awful english. I'm a huge fan of Conservapedia in general, and of this article in particular: I've found the points 11 and 12 of this list (the "action-at-a-distance" points) incredibily inspired, so I use sometimes these points as sign at the end of posts in some forum.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | First of all, as I've seen during my physics studies, there is no such thing as "liberal physics", just physics.
| |
| − | Physicists can have different opinions on specific topics, and it's a good thing: finding who is wrong is the only way to make scientific progress.
| |
| − | When a new phenomenon is discovered, the first thing to do is the known physics laws can describe it: this may be called a "conservative" point of view. But if this is not possible new laws have to be found: you may call them "liberal laws".
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The special theory of relativity, though, is not object of debates, so actually the physicists are '''conservative''' in beliving
| |
| − | that a lot of phenomena can be explained using the relativity theory.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | This article pretends to be a page about science. Well, it turns out that it is a (wonderful) ''pure nonsense'' page (I really love nonsense!). There are conceptual errors, absurdities, even miracles (I hope that you won't call them "scientific proofs")...
| |
| − | for example, points 7, 11, 29, 31, 32 are all manifestly wrong, as
| |
| − | everyone with a little knowledge of physics can confirm. Point 13: no one is searching gravitons.
| |
| − | Point 25: if an object is moving in one direction,
| |
| − | then physics '''should''' distinguish among the direction (and, in fact, it does).
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The classic aether does not exist.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Not all the points are wrong, though. The necessity of dark matter and dark energy in the current cosmological models it's a problem well known
| |
| − | to the experts. There are two possibilities: one can prove experimentally that these entities exists ''and/or'' general relativity is wrong
| |
| − | on large scales. My opinion (but it's just an opinion) is that the dark matter exists (it has been observed in galaxy collisions, for example), but
| |
| − | general relativity has to be modified on large scales (maybe a quantum theory of gravitation could help?).
| |
| − |
| |
| − | So: most of the points are trash. Some of the points are quite right indeed (not the Bible ones, at least if you want to write an article
| |
| − | about science). And, for the sake of correctness, someone should write a page with phenomena explained by relativity that aren't
| |
| − | explained in the framework of classical mechanics and electrodynamics.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | This is only my POV, obviously. But if Conservapedia wants to be a source of knowledge (regardless the "conservative" or "liberal" point of view)
| |
| − | you have to write facts, not nonsense. I'm a Conservapedia fan for the nonsense, so that advice is against my interests :P
