Yes I know what JH was doing befor he got involved in TM, he was not only writing theoretical papers on string theory but was working at CERN laboratory in switzerland. I only hope he's happier duping the TB's on astrology than working at the actual cutting edge of physics because they are switching on their new particle accelerator soon.

No, I'm not kidding but I meant it the other way round, if his stuff done at MUM is really "finishing Einstiens work" why isn't he presenting it to his old pals at CERN, he would get a nobel prize in seconds. > > I heard that Lawrence Domash said to MMY about no-one knowing if > > consciousness was the UF and MMY said "WE are the leaders of this > > field" How far would any of them have got in the TMO if they'd put > > their foot down and said let's stick to the facts? > > What are you supposed to do if you have a new > fact nobody else knows about yet? Discard it? First you establish if it is indeed a new fact (and not wishful thinking due to having to fit in with your gurus teachings). Then you check against current theories to see if it is compatible with the latest ideas. If it isn't you have to prove that the other theories are wrong. I wish JH luck in that as his ideas haven't given anyone much trouble so far. > <snip> > > Do you honestly think the rest of the scientific world are > > trailing in his wake?

You weren't aware of that? > How the data was manipulated is what people are interested in, JH refused to hand over his work, which is just one of the reasons no- one took it seriously and he ended up with the Ignobel rather than the real thing. FWIW I would be overjoyed if it does turn out that JH is right and my meditating has had a positive effect on the world but I won't lose sleep if, as I suspect, it doesn't. Why can't people just be happy doing it rather than telling everyone it lowers crime rates, brought down the berlin wall, controls the weather, is responsible for the "massive upsurge in positivity in the world" etc etc. Can't we just get on with enjoying it rather than having to think we know everything and are the only people that are going to save the world. It's megalomania.
