| @all I looked into this some time ago, if (big if) then by Nov-Dec. of this year we should be able to look up in the sky and see it.
Some material to debate:

Despite having had the theory of wave-particle duality explained to me over forty years ago I have to admit that I cannot explain it in words of less than one syllable, in a way that would be necessary to put my point across to somebody who lacks any form of intellectual integrity, as demonstrated by your persistent refusal (inability) to answer the questions posed in post #510. I currently have better things to do with my spare time.

You've invoked common sense a few times. On that topic..."Most of us develop a sort of intuitive logic about how the natural world works. Unfortunately, a lot of that informal reasoning turns out to be wrong, which complicates scientific education" Scientific college upper classmen have a mix of science and intution in their decision making ... Simply : Scientific education needs to convince people to move past their intuitions if they want a more accurate picture of how the world operates. |

Peer Review you say? Self-publishing is CRAP you say? |
A fair enough question. Afterall any process by man is inbided with some degree of politics. It's the nature of man. Perhaps as emotionless AI starts doing more science we'll see some change here.
But, again don't make the mistake that because X is imperfect we must accept Y. The same question must be posed to self publishing and to industry publishing. There are magazines out there that publish only anti-evolution or only anti-climatology articles. Between the Scientific peer reviewed journals and the mags that publish anything to ensure their politics are in place the former is clearly a better system.
One thing didn't make sense to me and that was the use of social sites. This devolves science to a popular vote. Sorry, doesn't work that way. For example, the bulk of doctors, at one time, would have voted germ theory as dislike. We indeed did see this happening as Semmelweiss was discarded. And in the end he was proved right. So having a Facebook like feature is again worse than Peer Review.
I go back to the question is fair, how do we best get politics out of the science. Certainly there are some in Scientific Peer Reviewed journals, they are people afterall. I'd think democratizing and self published are both even more political and therefore worse than the Journals.

You know we receive an education in the schools from books. All those books that people became educated from twenty-five years ago, are wrong now, and those that are good now, will be wrong again twenty-five years from now. So if they are wrong then, they are also wrong now, and the one who is educated from the wrong books is not educated, he is misled. All books that are written are wrong, the one who is not educated cannot write a book and the one who is educated, is really not educated but he is misled and the one who is misled cannot write a book which is correct.
The misleading began when our distant ancestors began to teach their descendants. You know they knew nothing but they passed their knowledge of nothing to the coming generations and it went so innocently that nobody noticed it. That is why we are not educated.

With every piece of new research, there is more and more evidence that it's an electric universe. The concept of the atom is only a paradigm used to simplify and make sense of matter. Same for concepts such as gravity. You have all been attempting to disprove things using old and out of date paradigms...this is why I reject them.
Self-publishing is the here and now. MikeB in the original thread attempted to show how new science that challenges the old brigade is squashed and now comes arstechnica telling you the same thing. ...but the old brigade HERE rejects them in predictable fashion... Self-publishing to science is what open source/GPL is to computer programming.
The dinosaurs need to evolve or die.
To answer you more directly:
If something is wrong, it's usually obviously wrong and easily disproved. The dinosaurs have rejected alot of data simply because it is not peer-reviewed and merely self-published. They are called dinosaurs for a reason, perpetuating the establishment. They could not disprove the data with actual science merely on archaic principles designed to keep the established brigade in power so to speak.
As the Arstechina article goes on to say, that regime is slowly tumbling as the baby-boomers get displaced...
As for the Facebook like/dislike principle, that's already what has happened on the small scale in the niche that has been the scientific establishment. Big establishments say 'this is right' and smaller ones out of fear 'Like' it. Making it easier for an scientist to like/dislike without fear of backlash is what is being proposed, not letting hobos on the street like/dislike certain concepts.Last edited by Lou on 19-Jul-2011 at 01:37 PM.

What you seem to not understand is the method of publication is unimportant to the question of scientific validity. Even things in peer-reviewed don't stand up, in fact many items don't. Peer-review is an important step towards proof of concept, it's not the end.
What is science? It's building an understanding of the universe that's dependant upon observation, replication, and predictability. The concept of Quote:

Importantly politic has no value in establishment of validity. It never has. I recommend you read up on Galileo's inquistion to understand more the hows and why that politics don't and can't hold any value within to scientific validity. |

How do you get there? Here's my suggestion - take the earthquakes per day and plot them per day over time. Overlay the alignment of Elenin in our Solar System and demonstrate some sort of repeative pattern. While this wouldn't explicitly demonstrate a casual relationship it might at least get us back to the point where you could claim coorelation. Cuz with this you've dumped that turnip truck.

It doesn't contradict anything. The plates were moved greatly during alignments causing the major quakes. However magnetic fields are always in play, alignments are just the peak of the effect, not the sole instance of it. The fact that since Elenin has entered the solar system that all earthquake meters have gone up is what's rather unsettling because theoretically it means the worst is yet to come. |

The peer review process was well critiqued by the article, any arguments you have for it were addressed within it. It's flawed and out-dated and used to maintain a status-quo. |

Hot air is the old text books you quote from. I accept the proof of the links I've presented, you do not because they are "self-published". You are a dinosaur because the peer review process is flawed as the article I linked that crtiques it explains.

With this response you've still yet to demonstrate coorelation. You have provided no evidence to back your claim. Instead you've backed up one conjecture with another conjecture. If this statement is a fact you should be able to provide us with the evidence and your source. If we're going to accept this we should be able to audit the data and validate the conjecture.

What's important for science is the ability to generate validity, Neither self publishing nor Like/Dislike were demonstrated to produce a greater ratio of validity. There is strong reason to believe that those systems will produce a much smaller amount of validity.
