As a typical jackbooted, nature worshipping, green religious, socialist evo-journal...they deserve whatever’s coming to them...shut them down!
Yup, been fighting that fight full time for twelve long years.
"What you do, if you are a serious scientist operating according to the established method, is attempt to falsify your hypothesis. Test it to destruction; carry out serious attacks on its weakest points to see if they hold up. If they do... then you have a theory that can be published, and tested, and verified by other scientists. If you don't, you throw it out.
The "scientists" who perpetrated the "global warming" fraud approached their "science" in exactly the opposite manner as the approach described above. They formulated a theory and then did whatever they had to do with their data to "prove" it.
To have treason, there has to be an entity to be treasonous against. When the whole world seems to be made of warring factions and there is nobody acknowledged to desire the good of mankind as a whole, this is what honor breaks down to. Frankly, I am shocked. I thought that most scientists were higher minded than this. But when they discover that everybody coming down on one side of a debate makes them richer (at least lawyers as a whole don’t have this temptation) then the whole thing goes to pot.
Liberals are all too eager to tell you how the Nixon impeachment disillusioned them and scarred them for life.
I wonder how many people will be scarred for life when they learn that all the catastrophic global warming pap they were fed through school beginning in nursery school and lasting through graduate school was deliberately wrong.
This is a sad day for science. A good day, because it can’t be fixed until the problem is addressed, and it is finally becoming visible, but a bad day, still.
“I look at the corruption of science like treason.”
It’s worse than treason; it’s a forced march into the Dark Ages.
Ping me if you find one I've missed.

It's the same thing in textbooks. Why are all the textbooks liberal? Well, yes most of the profs who write them are libs, but even if you get a conservative textbook, the editors and copy editors and most of the publishers are libs. So it's VERY difficult to get a conservative book through the process.
Can any science type explain what "the three-body problem" is, precisely what the "problem" is, and what makes a solution impossible?
I'm not a science type myself and I never heard of this (no reason why I should have, I guess), so my question may well be badly phrased, and it may be a stupid question, but how will I learn if I don't ask questions? :)

I attended a climate change-themed lecture at a VERY august institution a few months ago. One of the things the presenter noted was that the topic was perfect for every constituency in academia to use as a fund raiser.
In the Comments section, there are also some excellent remarks by a poster identifying himself as "Dr. Dave."
It is clear that when government enters in, heresy follows. Our Founders understood. We now do not.
Government entered the mortgage business; look what we have in our financial meltdown!
Government wanted to "help" the black poor; it destroyed the black culture and family!
Government entered into science; look what we have in Climategate!
Government wanted to lower out-of-wedlock births through sex education; out-of-wedlock birth rate tripled!
Government entered into medicine; look what we have with fraud and waste in Medicare and Medcaid!
Government entered education; our public schools are a colossal failure!
Government entered retirement programs; social security is bankrupt
Government slid outside the boundaries of the Constitution; we got damaging political correctness, racial chaos and damaging national debt!
Government is entering Health Care; they say insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result!
I like to read science magazines and articles. Over the past 15 years or so it has gotten ridiculous how the “warmer” bias has taken over many previously seemingly unbiased “science” magazines. It is hard to remain a loyal reader when I realize how biased these “scientists” are and how warped by politics the writers are. So sad. Back to superstition and astrology, I guess. It was nice while it lasted.
Take the phrase, "the three-body problem", and enter it into your favorite search engine's query box. Then click go. It's important to include those quotation marks. That tells the search engine to hunt for that exact string of words. Here's an example:
Mathematical mysteries: the three body problem
AFPhys, if you have better examples, would you please be so kind as to provide them?

In the almost anonymous age of the internet and exponentially increasing knowledge, finding a truly stupid question is getting very hard. Ignorance is not the same as stupidity.
Thanks!
