What is OP?
Quoting: glauco Original Post, or Original Poster.
Original Post being the post that started the thread.
First, Wikipedia is NOT an official source on anything.
Second, you should really actually READ it.
Hydra says you're wrong about Germany. I bet he could quote the relevant paragraph of the civil code.
I say you're wrong about the Netherlands. A nephew of mine is an Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Twente. Nobody calls him professor, they call him doctor.
So your statement that 'in any other country' every teacher can be called professor is wrong.
Thirdly, YOU made a claim, YOU must proof it.
Quoting: Halcyon Dayz, FCD Why is this so important if Professor McCanney DOES NOT uses this title? The problem here is me or Professor?
What is important here that you were certain something was true when it wasn't.
Ergo: we can't trust your judgement.
You also claimed that McCanneyism is true...
Excuse me?
None of the predictions made by McCanneyism that differs from the predictions of real physics have ever been observed to be true.
Even when they should have been.
Quoting: Halcyon Dayz, FCD Alright, give me an example of one prediction that Professor made that was wrong.
Comets have never produced ginormous lightning bolts, not even when passing close-by.
Well, let's close down the universities than.
Who needs them?
Quoting: Halcyon Dayz,FCD Yes, even people that can't read can recognize the true between the lines. This don't disregards universities nor science.
And that's why you are a cultist.
"It feels true" is more important to you than evidence.
YOU made the claim that McCanneyism was published in peer-reviewed papers.
YOU need to proof it.
Quoting: Halcyon Dayz, FCD Isn't that journals I sent to you peer reviewed??
Where is the McCanneyism in those papers?
Nobody but astronomers care about his run-of-the-mill ordinary space science.
So you are willing to lie.
Quoting: Halcyon Dayz, FCD Alright, so where is the ice of the comets? Bring the data if you can.
Why do I have to keep reminding you of the claims YOU made.
YOUR claim: No water found.
Now proof it.
How are you not a cultist?
Quoting: Halcyon Dayz, FCD Because I'm too smart to do so.
That's what culties often think.
Intelligence has nothing to do with it.
BTW, none of these probes got electrocuted, or had their orbits changed by these comets.
McCanney wrong again!
Quoting: Halcyon Dayz, FCD Sure their orbit had not changed, these flybys occurred in small comets with no gravitational force.
Yeah, by pure random chance ALL the comets that had fly-by-s happened to be non-McCanneyist comets.
Than why are you a cultist in the Church of McCanneyism?
Quoting: Halcyon Dayz, FCD What church?
The Church of McCanneyism.
There's a guru, affectionately addressed by his followers, who claims to have the only true insights in the nature of reality.
He never actually proofs anything but what he says "feels true."
His followers will stand on (digital) street-corners telling people passing by of this great revelation that will change your life if you only believe.
Etc.
I definitely get that vibe...
Cut it out.
Quoting: Halcyon Dayz, FCD I know you like flowers.
I do.
You're not my type.
I did not.
What I did is point out that it doesn't matter who claims what.
They still need to present the evidence.
Quoting: Halcyon Dayz, FCD Yes, Phil must present evidences that McCanney said that "All comets are large" and that "All comets gain mass". Professor never said that, but Phil likes to lie.
Watcha talkin' about.
I never mentioned Dr. Plait.
Just an example of a scientist of considerable reputation.
Yes, Hawking too would have to present evidence.
Only McCanney and woo-peddlers like him ever try to pull the "trust me, I'm a scientist" shtick.
Quoting: Halcyon Dayz, FCD What Hawking did so important? He is a theorist, almost all of his ideas are yet to be confirmed.
What's your obsession with professor Hawking?
Any scientist would do as an example.
We want your
evidence for McCanneyism, so far you've only produced a lot of handwaving, misdirection, and hot air.
Are you confused?
IF you claim there's a single scientist in the world familiar with McCanneyism who doesn't think it is a bunch of woo I'd really like to know who it is.
Quoting: Halcyon Dayz, FCD You claim that no scientists in the world agree with McCanney, but I never said the oposite simple because I don't know.
End of this line of discussion.
Do you understand the difference between evidence and speculation?
Your claim: McCanney got canned for this and this reason.
So YOU need to provide evidence for:
A - McCanney DID get canned, rather than walked away.
B - The reason McCanney got canned.
I understand, but some speculations are very evidencies of the truth!
Speculation is never evidence of anything.
This whole scientific method thing you bragged about was just grand-standing, wasn't it?
Like so many woowoos you don't know what it means to proof something.
