Ah! The pure argumentum ad hominem attack. What makes this one
special
is that zat attacks me for being CORRECT, and is too dimwitted and
ignorant to realize that he is attacking me for being correct.

1) Ad hominem (he had to dig back three years).
2) He was impressed with "authority" arguments.
3) He's completely and utterly WRONG, to boot.

Three time looser.

> Is that the same dropout student of physics Stuart Grey

Yes. Dropped out, got an Engineering Degree (with Honors) and has
gone back to finish that physics degree, thanks.

who once claimed on rec.org.mensa

Silly me thought that the people on rec.org.mensa were smart.
Intelligence is to the mind what absorbency is to a sponge, it
indicates
the rate at which knowledge or water can be acquired. The problem
is,
put the high absorbent sponge into sewage, and it fills with...
sewage.
Same with an high IQ mind immersed in illiberal pap.

that A. Einstein regarded quantum theory as wrong,

He did. Your french bimbo math expert was utterly wrong. His "God
does not play dice with the universe" rebuttal to quantum mechanics
is legendary.

What rebuttal? Wasn't he one of the main contributors to the theory
which he regarded as "wrong"?

Here's Proof.

http://www.aip.org/history/einstein/quantum1.htm

Einstein could not accept this lack of certainty; and he raised
one
objection after another. At the Solvay Conferences of 1927 and 1930
the
debate between Bohr and Einstein went on day and night, neither man
conceding defeat.

"Quantum mechanics is certainly imposing. But an inner voice tells
me
that it is not yet the real thing. The theory says a lot, but does
not
really bring us closer to the secret of the 'Old One.' I, at any
rate,
am convinced that He is not playing at dice."

By the mid 1930s, Einstein had accepted quantum mechanics as a
consistent theory for the statistics of the behavior of atoms. He
recognized that it was "the most successful physical theory of our
time." This theory, which he had helped to create, could explain
nearly
all the physical phenomena of the everyday world. Eventually the
applications would include transistors, lasers, a new chemistry,
and more. Yet Einstein could not accept quantum mechanics as a
completed
theory, for its mathematics did not describe individual events.
Einstein felt that a more basic theory, one that could
completely describe how each individual atom behaved, might yet be
found.

So after all he didn't say QM was wrong, but thought of quantum
mechanics as possible derivation from a more complete theory,
nevertheless troubled with lack of causality and statistical
nature of it.
He wasn't happy neither with the interpretation of uncertainty
principle or the principle itself but over the years accepted them.
Many would agree that he was too demanding in accepting any physical
theory,no matter how successful it was - quantum field theory - to name
one.

Back to the point.
Do you see the difference between regarding the theory as not perfect
and complete, in the contrast to theory being plain "wrong"?
Or am I gibbering?


then called Rene Descartes a gibbering idiot,

Yes. His proof that all men have exactly the same intelligence was
so stupid as to be laughable.
Do you agree with Descartes' conclusion?

Dunno about that one.

He had other examples of really bad logic.

He would certainly be proud of you, regarding your skepticism and
rejection of established authorities (LOL at least some of them).
If only thing that he did in his life was writing La Geometrie,
that would still be enough to be mentioned in any encyclopedia and
rightfully so.
What do you think how many of Native Americans killing colonists could
comprehend ramblings of this idiot about algebra, invariants,
negative roots or sum of the angles in polyhedron.


claimed that math is not a science

It isn't. There are no experiments. Math can all be done in one's
head.
Since no experiments or observations are necessary, it is not a
science.

LOL is the string theory science?
What about applied mathematics?

Didn't Einstein refer to pure mathematics as the
Queen of the Sciences?

Is what remains from physics when you take the mathematics out still a
science?

If I told you to find non zero integers a, b, and c such that
a^3 + b^3 = c^3 ,
wouldn't you try to experiment a bit. Wouldn't you try to substitute
some integers in equation and observe if it equates? Isn't that an
experiment?
Would you be able to find such x, y, and z?
You can try :D


So far, you're wrong three times out of three.

Hey man, how can I be wrong? I didn't claim anything prior to
this message. Stop with that.


and that French are lousy scientists,

Yes. I have low opinions of the French.

That is so childish of you.
What did they ever do to you? Invented France? Surrendered to Nazis?
Decided not to eat junk food?


the same one who forgot that he never really understood general
relativity

Humm. So, here I admit that I've not yet mastered GR... I have no
problem saying so. What's your problem?


and -*Oh the horror of it*- confused it for chick-impressing
special relativity, and finally got bitchslapped to Bangkok by
French woman mathematician who didn't want to recognize his
greatness didn't need published scientific work or PhD to
consider himself above others?

The stupid bitch argued from authority and was just being contrary.
Her chief argument was that Einstein was lousy in the lab, and
didn't do lab work. Her argument of this was that she was ignorant,
and it was up to me to get her to admit she was wrong. Einstein
worked hard in the lab...

That "stupid bitch" mathematician knew more about physics then you
most likely ever will, and she didn't argue from authority,
unless you refer to knowledge as authority. It isn't her fault
that she knew some people who worked with Einstein.


http://www.aip.org/history/einstein/ae7.htm
The Physics Institute of the Swiss Federal Institute of
Technology,Zurich.
"I worked most of the time in the physics laboratory," Einstein
recalled, "fascinated by the direct contact with experience."

There is also some evidence that Einstein had repeated the photo
electric effect experiment in the Swiss Patent office lab to
greater precision than had previously been done. Critics of
his paper on the photo electric effect were struck by his
magical ability to divine the
relationship from the up to then published data. Later on,
Millikan, in an effort to show that Einstein's couldn't be
right, recreated the photo electric effect and verified that
Einstein had indeed the correct data,and Millikan won the
nobel prize for confirming Einstein's prediction with more
advanced experiments.

It would be nice of you if you could provide some proof as to
where or when did Einstein performed this photo electric effect
experiment. What about that photo you mentioned?
Did anyone actually see him performing that experiment?


So, the frog bimbo was utterly and complete full of herself and
wrong. Since you are a weak minded ignorant troll, you were
totally taken with her appeals to authority; "I work with
a nuclear physicist". Oh,please! That is as stupid an argument
for a historical fact as stupid arguments get.

Because if he is, no acknowledgment of an error may come from man
so bitter.

And yet, I admitted I wasn't a master of GR. You seem to be wrong
again.

I must admit, you got me there. Was there anyone out there who
considered you capable of such sincerity?

What was my point?
You were rude back there in rec.org.mensa, as rude as you are here in
m.s.
Besides that you said some preposterous claims, just for shock effect.
Some of them could even be argued
(Descartes maybe had bad moments, math - science or not is long time
debate and not really important one), but you were lost back then
, as you are now, for any kind of argument that doesn't fit in your
prebeliefs.You decided long time ago what the truths are, and the rest
of your life you have just been feeding yourself with facts that
supports them. Sorry, but that is how I see you.


When exactly did self-aggrandizement become a wisdom and
arrogance knowledge? Don't really know what would be the right
thing to do in EOTWAWKI; to shoot him or run away from such a man.

I'd probably eat you, as I tend to with lower life forms, like
rabbits
and squirrels, so you'd better run. :-D

Hehe that would be the sight. Believe me that I know whether you would
be able to do it or not, it's just that I am not gonna tell you.
Getting physical over wire is NOT cool - and I am a cool guy.

WTF? Did I just say physical? Hell n0! Brbrr...
