Einstein was a patent agent with no advanced degrees, just using his cognitive abilities. He eventually proved his smarts after the fact. I’ve already proved my smarts.katarn wrote: ↑Fri Oct 05, 2018 6:18 pmI think I can relate to you, Dr Hash. I can't boast the same accomplishments (though we'll see what the future holds), but I don't understand your idea here in relation to what StA said. Your doctorates prove you are extremely capable of learning and so on, absolutely, but an appeal to the effect of doctorates on public opinion and public credibility has absolutely nothing to do with your credibility on physics. Maybe I'm misreading your intent with this reply, but an ethos appeal falls flat logically when the authority is in a different subject matter. Your doctorates might help you influence people if you become famous, but they won't inherently make you any more right. To prove your ideas in the scientific court of as-close-to-fact-as-we-can-get is a different animal than the public court of opinion.Martin Hash wrote: ↑Fri Oct 05, 2018 8:42 amDude, I have 3 doctorates, and am the only simultaneously licensed doctor, lawyer, accountant & engineer in the the world, and that gives me no credibility. Getting another doctorate will add exactly zero to that credibility. I need to be famous, and when I'm famous, doctorates in anything are gold, and apply to all fields.Speaker to Animals wrote: ↑Fri Oct 05, 2018 8:39 amIf you think you can falsify general relativity, then my suggestion is to write a paper and submit it to an appropriate journal for peer review.
If you read about how Einstein and other mathematicians came up with the equations for General Relativity, it gives me little confidence they were correct. I’ve written million-line programs by myself, and with others, my logical skillset is highly refined.
