The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

You're attacking me personally for suggesting an article about a legitimate long haul serious physicist who's challenging your commonly held beliefs.

Nope. I never do that. I did attack the science writer for his sloppiness, and explicitly exonerated you. You were just quoting him.

I did not read every word, no. I read enough to know the science writer for that publication was sloppy, and therefore suspect. He didn't get everything wrong. In fact, he got a lot correct. It's quite possible he didn't understand the scientist (and science) he was trying to report on. Wouldn't be the first time that has happened in lay-media. I don't trust that he really understood Zurek's paper(s), and he didn't link to them that I could see.
