Well…let’s see. I had a 4.0 GPA when I got my bachelor’s in physics from Caltech; I then went on to get my Ph.D. in physics from Stanford (1983). I of course did all the requisite hands-on lab work as a student. I’ve also worked for pay on some very large-scale, real-world experiments. I’ve earned various patents on computer and satellite-communication systems. I have worked with forms of electromagnetic radiation ranging from microwaves through UV and on to gamma rays.
And your own experience in physics consists of…?
Dave, thanks for your very genteel yet overwhelming response to Myrrh. Unfortunately, in my experience you’re wasting electrons on him. There’s not many folks whose posts I simply skip over, I figure I can learn from just about anyone, and if not, perhaps they might learn something as well.
But after many attempts by many people including myself to get through to Myrrh, I gave him up as just another lost egomaniac. These days, I just skip right over his claims that he has the inside track and is smarter than every physicist on the planet.
It’s actually quite freeing to just skip his nonsense. It leaves me much more time, I don’t waste effort, and it doesn’t raise my blood pressure.
Because it’s true what they say, you can lead a horse to water, but you’re not gonna get him to do the backstroke …
All the best,
