'Impressed with the work is Princeton physics great, and collaborator of both Albert Einstein and Richard Feynman, John Wheeler, who said he admired Lynds' "boldness," while noting that it had often been individuals Lynds' age that "had pushed the frontiers of physics forward in the past."'"

Listen, bub, we need people to design our machines and technology can't improve without a better understanding of our physical world. I want my flying cars, damnit, and no stinkin' philosopher is going to expose the hard questions to vulnerable scientists and engineers to distract them from making my dishwasher!

Believe it or not, the whole paper-refereeing scene isn't that much different from the Slashdot moderation system.
Has any referee ever sent a paper back and scrawled on it: "J00 f4gg0t! If I ever meet j00 I will kick your ass!"

I am on the college committee that controls your funding. I regret to inform you that based on your post I have decided to vote against renewing your project.
Thank you for the information. Have a nice day.

Space ships will be able to go faster than light by *gasp* continuing to accelerate. We'll be able to speak with family members on Mars through a loop of particles moving faster than light, by dropping a packet on one end to be picked up on the other.
You pitiful Earthlinks will also discover, by process of elimination, that the electron tastes like Grape-Aid.
