Let's get readyyyyy to rumble!

"Skeptics Cage w/George Noory & 4 Guests
George Noory presents the "Skeptics Cage:" Two go in, one comes out. Skeptic Michael Shermer will be debating one scientist each hour on various aspects of new scientific thought. The line-up: Dr. Gary Schwartz, Russell Targ and Dean Radin."

Can some kind skeptical soul record this for me?

Edit: Jeez, this post is turning into a right dog's dinner.

I meant Mon23Jan *tonight* *tonight* *tonight* *tonight*

Anyone listen? Wow... those interviews shure did go quick.

Heh, after just finishing reading both Brian Greene's excellent "The Elegant Universe" and his new "The Fabric of the Cosmos"... I find it confusing to find that a person (Dean Radin) with a PHD would make such obvious mistakes when it comes to understanding quantum physics. It really is a great 'woo-woo' medium because there is almost no way of proving outlandish claims if math isn't involved! Oh... but he has the "What the bleep" commercial on his page! Ah-ha. Bingo.

I am proud of Shermer for not attacking these guys on their obvious personal blunders and keeping it strictly to the point and basic.

Well, the Ph.D. is in psychology rather than physics (he also has a masters in electrical engineering), so perhaps he's not really qualified to talk about QM.

...so perhaps he's not really qualified to talk about QM.

Couldn't the same be said of most physicists?

I suppose so, but at least some of them should be (if that's what their PhD work was about...).
