I know it's an over used word but, is Lubos autistic? It really would explain a lot.

>fucking far left
I hope you mean National Socialism, and even then, most of the other retards on that side of the paradigm are going to call you far-right because of the National prefix.

>>7481060
I don't completely get it. I tend to think of national socialism as having very conservative or old-fashioned values. Am I mistaken in thinking these are right-leaning? I also don't really see national socialism as being especially socialist.

>>7481779
Sean Carroll is one of those guys who try to keep the idea of quantum mechanics (or entropy, for that matter) being thrillingly mysterious to keep things pop.
I also never liked his books.

Whenever I got into a discussion with Lubos about physics, he got more things right than me.

Not trying to defend him, of course. He's a bitter loon.
That one is good:
http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Lubo%C5%A1_Motl

In any case, his opponents like Woit come across as autistic virgins just as much.

I also have love/hate relationship with Ron Maimon. Why are physicists so crazy?

Didn't think he was such a meme.

What caused everything to crash down? Not saying my name, but my story is similar to his beginning and I'm scared now.

Not sure if this guy represents /d/, /b/ or /pol/.

>>7482062
but he was a virgin by choice and was a cutie. look at that face

>>7482073
he got kicked out of harvard for being an asshole and posting all kinds of shit on his blog (which he still does)

>>7482073
He thinks most humans, except some idols and himself, are worth less than garbage.

>>7482078

> virgin by choice
it must be nice to be the one who wrote the books

>>7482073
He got kicked out because he hurt peoples feelings. You can't do that in an academic setting.

This.

That fuck and his ilk is the reason so many misconceptions keep getting spread by those "i love science! xD" fuckwits which eventually seeps into the philosophy department leaving a mess of shit for us to fix.

>Sean Carroll
Sean Carroll's a fucking retard. He doesn't understand QM well. I'm a grad student in mathematical physics and I had 3 years of QM courses so far (way more than most) and I can tell you with 100% certainty that Dr Carroll has no idea what he's talking about when it comes to QM. I cringe every time I hear him speak on the topic.

I have no idea how well he understands astrophysics (his field of study) but he should STFU about things he has rudimentary knowledge about (namely, QM).

There is theory: Motl suffers serious mental disorder. He subjects his own personality cult, and uncritically darling of Czech still-president Vaclav Klaus. Vaclav Klaus is Eastern European representative of "gangster capitalism".

What examples of this are you referring to? Can you point me to a video where he says something categorically incorrect?

I'm not demanding proof because I disagree with you but I've read some of his books and seen a few of his talks and he didn't seem unintelligent or whacky at all, and I never heard him say anything about QM that I haven't heard specialists also say. There certainly are QM woo-woo peddlers out there but he never struck me as one of them.
