“...papers contain major mistakes, including graphs that do not match the data and curves that do not match the reported equations.”
Well, sheet! We get that every DAY from The White House!
I would assume they grew quickly early on and growth slowed as they approached adulthood.
Wait, the science isn’t “settled”??
Science is never settled of course
“the giant dinosaur Apatosaurus had a growth spurt of 12,000 pounds in a year.”
-I had a live-in mother-law who did just that.
As we have learned from the antics of the alleged Climate Scientists, peer review is a joke as a quality control mechanism on the Science.
As an exercise in crony Political Correctness it works quite well.
Yeah, well the science of bleeding people to balance their bodily humors was peer reviewed and widely accepted by scientists for centuries - but that didn't make it right.
Maybe I missed it, but what qualifications does this person have to challenge a complex bio-paleontological theory like this?
“The accuser is Nathan P. Myhrvold, a former chief technology officer at Microsoft who is well known in the worlds of avant-garde cuisine and patent law.”
I was listening to a video of a nuclear scientist who thought he was on the trail of efficient, clean nuclear power. He was lamenting that he could not find scientists who could do the engineering required for his reactor — he said he’d have to go back to the 20’s and 30’s to find them. At another point, he said he wanted to put together a group of scientists and engineers to oversee the program, but the qualified ones were all over seventy. This nuclear scientist has since died of old age.....
We are screwed up, and we don’t know how to fix ourselves. The dumb breed faster and faster, and the brilliant abstain from reproduction. We better embrace some eugenics, or at least eliminate the negative eugenic pathologies in our culture, or there is no hope.
I know some incredibly brilliant people, but they only have we average folks work with. In the old days, there were universities and other social collections made of nothing but brilliant people, who had to compete, and were supported by none but other brilliant people. That was where all the great things were done. The advancements we make now are simply fruit shaken from the tree by the old timers.
“Hobbyist”?
Ph.D.s are wildly over-rated.
” former chief technology officer at Microsoft who is well known in the worlds of avant-garde cuisine and patent law”
That’s who I would go to with a dinosaur question.
