....You closed the HLP Road Trip thread!?! You put it to bed before I could add a meaningful (okay, meaningless) contribution! I feel cheated! Betrayed! Hungry!

Schmeh, now I feel bored. But don't let it happen again!

I hope that you've learned your lesson, young man.

Nah, it probably wouldn't last... Math doesn't have the same appeal as chicks and booze. :D

Try asking some university professors and such people about that... :D ;7

University professors are still HUMAN BEINGS! They're not just Math machines - and besides, only a tiny fraction teach maths, and a tinier fraction are turned on by it. :rolleyes:

Which is I recommended you ask them. :D There was this one guy about 50 years ago, G.H. Hardy, who was one of my favorite guys in terms of his ideas; he had a queer personality by popular standards, and said that math was the most beautiful thing in the universe. I mostly agree with him on that bit. :p

Anyway, if not me, then have someone else start another of those topics. :D Or how about something we all like even better: games! ;7

How many university professors do you know in person anyway? You do realize that a statistical sampling of the group will prove your statement false, right?

If this is all true CP, you need to seek a doctor. Its just not right i just cant believe your 15 and have more interest in maths than anything else.

A couple from the nearby University of Maryland but not all that well, but it's not like I really respect all of those guys either. :p :D (some are just what I call "lambda theta xi" guys :D) Get a statistical sample from only the staff of the world's most renowned universities for these subjects, and I think you should get a fairly good result. Also, by principles of mass-psychology, popular opinions do not prove statements; they influence the acceptance of the statements. :p

That's what people said to many of the world's greatest minds; this is why diversity of thought is important. ;)

But we are already arguing about this in the other topic. Lets make this one an HLP trip to x location topic, with game stuff in it. :D

So now your one of the elite? I think even Isaac Newton had a wife and liked women.

Not saying that; I am just saying that strange ideas should not be discounted just because of their strangeness. ;) (although humanity as a whole is generally incapable of this due to the rule of resistance to change, but with Planck's principle in there, science progresses anyway) Actually Newton never married, but he was a fanatical Christian. :p I personally like Leibniz better in this way since he did not simply accept an existing belief but tried to form his own. ;)

You'll only get a result proving your statement if you manipulate the set to reflect the view you want it to prove. The best researchers are not those who focus solely and completely on their research subjects, not even those who make said subject their main objective in life. You're portraying what you want the "best scientists" to be, not what they really are.

Crap, why am I arguing this again? I'll let time show you what is true and what isn't.

Thats what they want you to think. Oh and i meant Albert E. Heres a quote about Isaac anyway

Quote
If we evolved a race of Isaac Newtons, that would not be progress. For the price Newton had to pay for being a supreme intellect was that he was incapable of friendship, love, fatherhood, and many other desirable things. As a man he was a failure; as a monster he was superb."


So by that Quote, CP's thinking is not progress towards a better humanity and Physics is far better than maths.

I'm not quite sure what the basis behind your points here is; no proof or even an attempt at proof is shown. What is this "manipulation of the set" that you speak of? What is defined as a "best researcher or a "best scientist?" As I said in the other thread, I could say that you are simply wrong and it would be about as good of an argument. :p :D

Only you know that. :D As for the second bit, it cannot be determined according to the fact that the fundamental assumption is an assumption, but hey, sure. For the fourth or fifth time, wait for a few decades. ;7

hey, I didn't do anything wrong, so there is no real reason; rules never said weird people are banned. :p :D Besides, we all must be finding this fun, or we wouldn't be writing at all, and the HL forum is for general off-topic stuff anyway, right? ;)

okay...how is "love, fatherhood, etc." desirable when there is technology? (doubt I will get a straight answer here :p) Also, I said that diversity in ideas in usually a good thing. Nothing is stated about physics in there, but look into physics in depth and you will simply see an extension of math into the material universe. ;)
