Many atheist frauds claim false credentials, such as T. Wake from alt.atheism who also claimed he was a "Physics PhD" but investigation showed he was in fact a civil engineer employed in bridge building, or TMG who claimed to be a "Physics PhD" but who actually turned out to be a WHOI ("Whoee") employee who has a degree in "Ocean Physics" which any halfwit engineering level graduate could achieve. Judging from your language and science content surely you fall in the same category, a half baked near do well "applied physics" nut, at best, and probably unemployed judging from your lengthy weekday posts. You're a worthless screwball. Finally, because all these screwballs claim they can't post their CV because they have "high security gov't jobs" and must remain anonymous (which is crap); I posted a TEST QUESTION that any COMPETENT Physics PhD should be able to answer off the top of his head: Physics PhD Test Question What is the relationship between the Dirac gamma matrices of QED and the Christoffel Symbols of General Relativity? You don't know the answer, and can't answer the question (and you won't find it on Google either), proving that you're some kind of half baked "applied physics" jerk who can't understand the SPOG which is based on "real Physics". Screw psycho, go back to alt.atheism and talk to your asshole buddies, and get off this thread. You're worthless as a scientist and worst of all intellectualLy BORING! ===================================== SCIENTIFIC PROOF OF GOD WEBSITE http://geocities.com/scientific_proof_of_god mirror site: http://proof-of-god.freewebsitehosting.com GOD=G_uv (a folk song on mp3) http://interrobang.jwgh.org/songs/hammond.mp3 ===================================== You already posted this. Repeating it does not make it correct any more than your blustering fixes any of the mistakes in you physics. Your "proof" is a joke. Get over it and move on. We need something new to laugh at. |

Look .. "Charm, Color, and Strangeness" are REAL because they show up as EIGENVECTORS in Quantum Field Theory, and are experimentally verified. SAME THING IS TRUE OF THE 13 GODS OF THE Egypto-Greco-Roman Pantheon. [Doug, unverified Physics Phd claimant] Or 12 assuming that the Greeks did not know the difference between 12 and 13 as you have claimed earlier. [Hammond] Look, I already told you 3 times, the only EXACT scientific fact is that there are EXACTLY 13-2nd ORDER EIGENVECTORS, extracted by mainframe computers. The ancients didn't know what an eigenvector is, or that the 13-2nd orders are CUBICALLY intercorrelated. Hammond discovered that (1994) They just took an educated guess and called it an even DOZEN (the Greek Dodekatheon so called). They were right to within 7.7%, pretty good for ancient science. So you'll have to find some other trivia to rag on, I've beaten your "12 vs. 13" objection to death. Since you got the number wrong, it just means that your theory is wrong. Very simple. I know you are looking for glory but you do not get it with wrong ideas. [Hammond] How many different ways do I have to say it.... you believe particle physics don't you..... guess what..... Religion has been proven in the SAME WAY ( By Hammond (2003)) [Doug, unverified Physics Phd claimant] The only differences being that competent experimenters have confirmed predictions by competent theorists. This is the way science is done. Wild speculation backed only by a mishmash of unrelated babble does not constitute either a theory or a proof of anything. [Hammond] 12 is within 92% of 13. This is well within the expected experimental accuracy of historical data. This is a pretty humorous statement all by itself. If the greeks had 13 gods they would not have called the group 12. Furthermore, the SPOG predicts EXACTLY 4-3rd order factors, which is 100% ACCURATE, since these are exactly the 4-Gospel Saints ("4-demigods") Matt, Mark, Luke and John. These last four are the books chosen by the council of Nicea to be in the New Testament. The council also voted as to whether women were humans. The point of the council was to try to unify the various christian sects and so it accepted the texts from various ones even though there are terrible discrepancies between them. It's becoming painfully apparent that you're an incompetent phony who hasn't even read the paper, doesn't know what it's about, and is simply an aggravated anti-religious psycho. SNIP PHONY INCOMPETENT BULL**** [Hammond] The exact calculation of the number of "gods" is in section VI: VI Elementary science evidence that the 4th order factor is "God". [Hammond] If you're too lazy to read this ELEMENTARY section of the peer published paper I'm not going to argue with you about "12 or 13 gods". There is no point in arguing with someone who doesn't even know what he's arguing about, just because he wants to argue. [Doug, unverified Physics Phd claimant] This is the most humorous part of your "proof". [Hammond] Your constant reference to laughter is making you sound suspiciously like a lowbrow giggling idiot, which I suspect is the case. [Doug, unverified Physics Phd claimant] You want to somehow, with no justification, identify perception of reality as a god. This is pretty bizarre as it comes out of nowhere with no justification and is, in fact, completely opposite to what happens in the real world. The more educated people are, the less they cling to the myths of the religions. Even if it were true, and it is not, you have shown no connection with a god. This is just you hoping that no one will notice that this assuming what you want to prove. [Hammond] You're so obviously incompetent its jpathetic. Look, the basic plot, as in any scientific investigation, is to itemize the characteristics of the phenomenon, and then see if there is any known simple scientific mechanism which would explain it. In this case this means itimizing the CENTRAL CLAIMS of Religion (take Biblical religion for instance) and seeing if the discovered mechanism (curvature of subjective spacetime) COMPELLINGLY AND QUANTITATIVELY EXPLAINS EACH AND EVERY ITEM. The SPOG scientifically and quantitatively explains the following 16 (central and comprehensive) items which characterize Religion: 1. Why there physically exists an "invisible world" known as "Heaven" which is similar to Earth but is a paradise. (Because the Growth Deficit reduces mental speed and thus reduces the Fourier cutoff frequency of visual movement) This can be easily measured directly by theMotion Picture Fusion Frequency, which increases directly with gross brain growth) 2. Why God is an "invisible man" who lives there and is all powerful and rules the actual (visible) world from there. ("God" is the perfect fully grown man, hence the part of us that is latent, or ungrown, is called the "invisible God", also the "Unconscious mind") 3. Why this God can effect miracles which transcend the (known) laws of Physics. (Because, a change in Repression causes a dramatic change in Curvature of subjective spacetime suddenly making more of reality visible). 4. Why Jesus said "God is a spirit" Jn 4:24 (This is confirmed by the SPOG which shows that "God" is the unconscious mind, which is a "spirit") 5. Why historically Religion has evolved from Polytheism to Monotheism. (The SPOG proves that there are 4 orders of eigenvectors, which is a "hierarchy of gods". the entire history of Religion is accounted for as a successive discovery of the orders from 1st=(demigods), 2nd=(Olympian gods), 3rd= (4-Gospel Saints), 4th=(God of Monotheism) 6. Why Christianity says the world is transforming itself into Heaven and will actually complete this at a date known as "Kingdom Come"... or the "end of the world". (Because the Secular Trend curve in Human Growth is a Sigmoidal Logistics curve (S-curve) and the final plateau is 100% growth of the individual, or "Kingdom Come") 7. Why there is such a thing as "Eternal Life". (Because full growth means flat subjective spacetime.. no time dilation.. aka eternal time) 8. Why it is believed that Jesus was the physical "incarnation of God" (Because, nominally Jesus was a "fully grown specimen". Of course we know this wasn't actually possible, but in fact he must have been an impressive specimen to conduct such a startling public ministry.) 9. Why the Cross for some reason is the central symbol of (Western) Religion. (Because the human body is an "axial quadrature" and the brain actually "cubic" causing a cross structure (Cartesian structure) of Personality) 10. Why for some reason our main canonical text is written in 4 identical versions known as the "4-Gospel Canon". (Because the Structural Model is CUBIC, represented as a square; 4 Gospel Canon represents the 4 canonical personalities of Man... cf. the Bicameral/2 Party system) 11. How God "created the world" only a matter of "thousands" of years ago (Genesis) not "billions" of years ago (Big Bang) as Science believes. (Because subjective spacetime only came into being when Man came into being 200,000 years ago, causing the Biblical Creation). 12. Why God created man "in his own image". (Because God is the invisible (fully grown) version of Man). 13. Why there is a "Trinity of God" and what it is, functionally or scientifically speaking. (the Trinity is simply the cybernetic feedback loop (input, output, feedback) describing the operation of the Father (invisible man), Son actual Man, and feedback (UNCS mind) that transforms the latter into the former). 14. Why there are (approximately) 13 gods in the Egypto-Greco-Roman pantheon. (Because the 2nd orders are caused by the 13 symmetry axes of the cubic str. of the brain). 15. Why there are exactly 4-gospel Saints named Matthew, mark, Luke, John. (Because the Cubic str. of Personality can be represented by a section through the Cube, yielding the 4 canonical personalities of Man) 16. Why there are 30 odd "lesser demigods" in Hinduism. (Because there are 30 1st-order eigenvectors caused by myriad lower level brain structures; not geometrically intercorrelated) THIS OVERWHELMING, COMPREHENSIVE EXPLANATION OF THE ENTIRE BODY OF CLASSICAL RELIGION, BY A SIMPLE RELATIVISTIC CURVATURE MECHANISM, IS PRIMA FACIE THE WORLD'S FIRST AND ONLY BONA FIDE "SCIENTIFIC PROOF OF GOD". Now you can sit there and giggle like a flat footed fat ass academy boy all you want, but it certainly is NOT convincing. either show us some of your scintillating PhD forensic scientist genius a la ronald Reagan, or go back to work designing Widgets at Quintessential Trinkets where you belong. snip argumentative no content crap ===================================== SCIENTIFIC PROOF OF GOD WEBSITE http://geocities.com/scientific_proof_of_god mirror site: http://proof-of-god.freewebsitehosting.com GOD=G_uv (a folk song on mp3) http://interrobang.jwgh.org/songs/hammond.mp3 ===================================== |

The correct answers are therefore 2 and 3 respectively. Of course this is better resolved by using scientific notation. 469.230 [GH] 5 significant figures 6. There is no reason to write the zero unless it was significant. If that number was measured to 5 sig figs, it should be written as 469.23 . Since you didn't answer the question about showing how 12=13 to 3 significant figures (as you claim), your overall grade is really 5 out of 8, or 62.5%, which is an F. I'm being generous since you didn't answer any of the "why" for the first seven questions. Please turn in your degrees to the institutions that mistakenly awarded them to you. |
