What happened?

American Congressmen are wising up to the fact
that the works of
Time Magazine's "Man of the Century"

are not worth wasting billions of dollars of the taxpayer's money
to maintain Einstein as an Icon of intelligence
to pacify aggressive, persistent, religious fanatics.

Potter is a bitter cynical shell of a former man that didn't
have the smarts to understand classical physics, let alone
relativity... the evidence exists on his web pages and in his
posting record.

Although I am pleased ro see that Sam Wormley
continues to be a faithful reader of my posts,
I was disappointed to see that he projected
his self image onto me with his comment:
"Potter is a bitter cynical shell of a former man..",

rather than address my post in a rational, intelligent, moral way.

As I pointed out,
and Sammy deleted:

It is helpful to compare Einstein's General Relativity model
to some other models that are used daily by
tradesmen, technicians, engineers, and scientists
to make life better for mankind.

After Newton's model,
there were immediate and rapid advances
in mechanics, astronomy, etc.

After Maxwell's model
there were immediate and rapid advances
in chemistry, electricity, etc.

After Watson's and Crick's DNA model
there were immediate and rapid advances
in medicine, genetics, animal husbandry,
the history of the Earth and Mankind, etc.

I noticed in the news recently
that the DNA model was recently used to develop
a new form of rice that will prevent 500,000 children
from going blind EVERY YEAR,

and that it was used to convert blood types,
and that people with rare blood types will have a safe
supply of blood in the future,

and that the DNA model was used to
find out that chickens are related genetically to dinosaurs.

Now folks,
would you spend your own money conducting experiments
that predict things that are useless, non-cost-effective,
or far, far beyond man's capacity to
experience in time and space?

Things like the birth and death of the universe,
time travel, warping through space, worm holes,
black holes, gravitons, evolution of stars, etc.

Or would you spend your money on DNA projects to
develop better food crops,
improve animal husbandry,
develop better medicine,
reconstruct history more accurately,
cure cancer,
create bees that pollinate essential plants more surely,
create animals that can sniff out chemicals and diseases, etc.,
save endangered animals,
find criminals,
purify water,
etc.

I will be looking forward to seeing Sammy display his
pretended knowledge and comprehension of physics,
by addressing the point I made in my post.

No doubt Sammy is not a "shell of a man"
but is twice the man I am,
if the measure of man is his waist line,
and what his bath room scale indicates.
