- Well if most of the stuff posted is theory, Jack, then why don't
- you start alleviating the imbalance by posting experimental
- material. We are all waiting for the results of your experiments,
- after all...
-
- To which I respond:
- 1) If I had the money to get the experiments done I would.
- 2) I am not an experimentalist.
- 3) Reading between the lines you seem to insinuate that I have no
- respect for experiments. Quite the contrary, I think a moderated
- conference on experimental physics would be most interesting.
-
- There should be separate threads:
- experiment
- conventional theory
- half-baked wild ideas that in principle can be proved wrong
- dustbin
