Do we even have a female Nobelist in astrophysics, Professor?

A Nobelist in another field probably would not suffice.

Do you have one in mind?

Harvard physics professor and cover girl Lisa Randall (see photo: http://www.scienceguardian.com/blog/cern-ii-2011.htm ) developed the 5-dimensional Randall-Sundrum model of space-time, which is one of the major theories of multiple dimensions and is the basis for the scariest predictions about the speed of black hole growth. Given 5 dimensions as in her model (i.e. one extra spatial dimension), then “the earth would be accreted into the black hole in 27 years,” according to three CERN-affiliated physicists (B. Koch et al. Arxiv.org, July 22, 2008, v. 1). This is the exact midpoint of Dr. Rossler’s estimate of 50 months to 50 years. It is thus possible that Prof. Randall might be approachable on the safety issues.

As for female journalists, at least one, Australian writer Marguerite Thoresen, has written an excellent review of the LHC safety issues and gave favorable attention to Prof. Rossler’s theory (see: http://members.iinet.net.au/~rabbit/lhc.htm ),

No: it would suffice to get the support of a single female nobelist, for example.

Okay?

Since those listed have failed to correct the situation they pointed to in 25 years, it seems that those that did manage to get action (Woodward, Bernstein) were helped by their platform and by the existence of a large body of political opponents of the status quo (Nixon’s reign and criminality).

Thereffore you have to somehow get both.

If all the world’s males have failed to be rational and humane: Is there a woman journalist on the planet whom we coul contact? In Africa from where humanity in both senses of the word is coming from?

Dear Anthony:

John Crewdson
Liam Scheff
Celia Farber
Bob Woodward
Carl Bernstein

An impressive list of names. Is there a way to bringing them to take notice of the CERN posts that this website was daring enough to make public?

Or but one of them? (Then it would be already two since I omitted one name.)

Forgive me but I am driven by the feeling of fire in my back.

Take care,
Otto

An excellent point, Professor, resplendent with glowing optimism and faith in humanity, a fire at which the reluctant cynic can warm his frozen hands. There is indeed a fine fraternity of investigative journalists in science proper, starting with John Crewdson of the Chicago Tribune, who exposed the shenanigans of Robert Gallo, who became the most referenced scientist in the world for a time by misappropriating the discovery of “HIV” the “cause of AIDS” and pretending that he had proved it was the cause (1/3 of patient samples only, not very persuasive, Bob). There are others, such as myself, and the distinguished Liam Scheff, Celia Farber, and a handful of other stars in a dark heaven.

Basically, you can count them on the fingers of two hands.

Against them is arrayed the host of lickspittle craven fellow traveling hirelings who have as much independent critical faculties as field mice.

I know, I know, media people are in spite of their frequent heroism human beings, too. Your explanation is absolutely correct statitically speaking. Like saying that most peopleare not Mozarts.

But as an explanation for the fact that there is not a single Mozart any more — not a single intellectual on the planet left -, your argument is not convincing. The most important intellectuals on the planet are indeed the investigative journalists.

Thereis no holier profession.

Professor, the media are not the high toned professionals you seem to imagine they are, in your generous spirit if respecting those in responsible positions. They are typically underfunded, lazy, corner cutting, under researched, psychologically ignorant rabble for the most part, in keeping with a fine tradition begun on Grub Street, London, is=n Samuel Johnson’s time.

Part of the problem is that publishers cannot get the public to pay up for reporters who are very good, so they are badly lacking in time and other resources. At the New York Times they are also far too plugged into the established people in other fields who share their complacent trust in the opinion of others in the club.

So they are easily hoodwinked by CERN officials.
