I'm enjoying the freedom to post on this blog that I felt was lacking in my other blog because I put myself under such pressure to uphold some sort of higher standard.
Today I posted this comment on The Daily Show website. It is here for archival purposes.
As a scientist I find it ironic that the words "proof" and "truth" and "objectification of reality" are being bandied about by those who are attacking this interview. If a single data set is presented to numerous researchers it is quite likely that a number of different methods and conclusions will be met.
This interview has promoted conversation, if for no other reason, this interview has merit. In fact she said that both religion and science are pushing the boundaries of our vocabulary. A remarkable statement which I agree with as any one who is trying to communicate the curvature of the universe will understand.
I invite everyone to read "The universe and Dr. Einstein" by Lincoln Barnett. StewBeef, if you are reading, I will send you my copy of this book even though it is the most precious thing I own.
