Sun Mar 01 05:24:34 UTC 2015 <asciilifeform> gabriel_laddel: there were two proposed experiments.
Sun Mar 01 05:24:20 UTC 2015 <gabriel_laddel> asciilifeform: would you mind explaining the exact logistics of the equipment you'd need to put together to run the experiment?
Sun Mar 01 05:22:53 UTC 2015 <gabriel_laddel> Not as easy as it sounds. Life is finite, as exemplified by MP not reading Al's experiment spec, and Al not being MP
Sun Mar 01 05:22:10 UTC 2015 <gabriel_laddel> !s lab nigger
Sun Mar 01 05:13:36 UTC 2015 <gabriel_laddel> the US is fucking nuts right now. you live in a bubble of sanity
Sun Mar 01 05:13:11 UTC 2015 <gabriel_laddel> !s cognitive dissonance
Sun Mar 01 05:12:53 UTC 2015 <gabriel_laddel> If you're not strong enough now, retreat, lick your wounds and then strike when the time is right.
Sun Mar 01 05:12:35 UTC 2015 <gabriel_laddel> As far as I can tell, it comes down to the basic strategic necessity of killing your enemy when you indend to.
Sun Mar 01 05:12:22 UTC 2015 <mircea_popescu> gabriel_laddel exactly why not lol ?
Sun Mar 01 05:11:29 UTC 2015 <gabriel_laddel> fuckwads
Sun Mar 01 05:11:25 UTC 2015 <gabriel_laddel> "1) Search for experimental signs of quantum gravity that violate Einstein's Equivalence Principle and/or the Newtonian inverse-square law."
Sun Mar 01 05:11:17 UTC 2015 <gabriel_laddel> check this out http://www.npl.washington.edu/eotwash/
Sun Mar 01 05:10:48 UTC 2015 <gabriel_laddel> mircea_popescu: but this is not germane to the issue. << Oh, but it is. These people are prepared to lie at every turn. See the stack overflow post, or the output of the Eot-wash group. If Al or Stan were make a mistake in the run, they'd never be able to test it again.
Sun Mar 01 05:08:34 UTC 2015 <gabriel_laddel> but the grant funding people don't know this
Sun Mar 01 05:08:27 UTC 2015 <gabriel_laddel> left and right handed machine screws != chirality !11!
Sun Mar 01 05:07:59 UTC 2015 <gabriel_laddel> which is obviously horse shit
Sun Mar 01 05:07:52 UTC 2015 <gabriel_laddel> The Eot-wash group won't test this. And the string theorist in that stackoverflow question is more than happy to state that because a large construction of molecules falls at the speed we expect it to, it couldn't possibly happen on a small scale.
Sun Mar 01 05:07:17 UTC 2015 <asciilifeform> gabriel_laddel: the interesting thing, and important to explain mircea_popescu's puzzlement, is that the enemy has been studiously arranging experiments to avoid actually testing the effect in question and declaring it 'settled'
Sun Mar 01 05:06:22 UTC 2015 <gabriel_laddel> But you have to test it.
