Is there a physicist in the house?

You must need a particularly inflated opinion of your own intellect and knowledge to gainsay the consensus of expert opinion in a field that you are not actually involved in. Still, I see he is getting cheers from the peanut gallery in the comments section.
 
I particularly liked the "appeal to Feynman":
Where is Richard Feynman when you really need the guy, anyway?

I imagine he's pretty busy turning in his grave.
 
That isn't just stupid, it's meta-stupid: what he's saying (at least in a few places) is actually correct and completely standard - but due to his kindergarten level of physics education he doesn't realize it.

I mean for god's sake, the Higgs condensate actually is an invisible energy field that permeates all of matter and imbues it with mass, and the Higgs particle is a (good) vibration in that field. This stuff should be any New Ager's dream... hell, they even use crystals in the calorimeters at the LHC!

Somebody needs to take a quantum mechanics course before writing inflammatory articles...

I'm also an experienced observer of the arrogance of western scientists and their cult-like dedication to particle explanations for the natural world.

and has a grudge...

It's no less strange than a refrigerator magnet, which summons a mysterious force from the ether and uses it to cling to a slippery surface, day after day, year after year, using an unexplained force that persists, even without any apparent cause.

and maybe needs to read a few books...

Wow.

Thanks Terry! I post on "Sciforums" and they use this same board software as this one...I thought it would use the same syntax. Thanks for the update.

[latex]$${C_{Terry}} = \sqrt {{r^2}} $$
[/latex]

Where "C",coolness, is equal to the square root of rockingness squared.

I'm just a physics novice...but I'm trying to learn more'a them thar book smarts. :)

Or perhaps he was setting an elephant trap, and a bunch of people here just fell into it.

Why on earth would you take the square root of rockingness squared? The only reason I can think of is if you mean Terry's made of coolness even if he's anti-rock.

When I am in my dungeon, transforming the elements using my philosophers stone, why of course I use my crystals to verify the transfomation went according to my spell.
 
Shouldn’t that be “When I am in my dungeon, transmuting the elements using my philosophers stone, why of course I use my crystals to verify the transmutations went according to my spell.”

Please read some of the latest scrolls (I mean the ones that haven't turned to dust already).
