- I second this. Dr. Sarfatti may hold outre' opinions about the meaning of his
- work, but let's at least hear what it _is_. I have been following the
- discussions concerning quantum gravity, et al. with a great deal of interest.
- Sarfatti's articles and the replies to them have so far constituted the
- _only_ postings I have seen in this group which have tackled advanced
- theoretical ideas. The wierdnesses of QM experimentation needs discussion -
- why not here? Do you all want to kill off discussion unless it is safe and
- mundane?
-
- If more actively working physicists posted here, the signal/noise ratio might
- remain better than the abysmal (pre Sarfatti) value it was.
