Gollin School of Parenting Grads?

[WilliamW]

Are you saying that's not the first time she's had his face on her chest?

Gollin's own version of "special relativity."

[Albert Hidel]

What were you guys thinking?!?!?!

First you print up a T-shirt with Gollum's ugly mug on it.

Then you force Gollum's ugly lesbian daughter to wear it as part of her Halloween costume.

Then you force her to post a picture of the whole hideous thing on her facebook page, where everybody on the planet can see it and laugh at Gollum.

No wonder Gollum is dumping in his nappies over this.  You guys are just totally out of control.

Not to mention that
1 some contend Einstein generously borrowed from the published works of Del Pretto and Poincaré. While Del Pretto was unknown, Poincaré was well known.
Come think of it, "everything is relative except the absolute[speed of light]" is what buddhists and others have been saying for millennia.
2 no contemporary scientist would take the idea of ether (invisible, mysterious medium that gave space its peculiarities) seriously, but they just replaced the elusive, shape-shifting ether with the equally mysterious and elusive dark matter...they make it as they go along.

[Martin Eisenstadt]

...they just replaced the elusive, shape-shifting ether with the equally mysterious and elusive dark matter...they make it as they go along.

All this time I thought Gollin was just a full-of-shit loser trying to prop up his stillborn academic career and morally bankrupt family life with a fruitless hobby.  

But now I see that the plethora of lies, distortions, half-truths, innuendo, guesses, suppositions and lawsuit-provoking defamations that flow from his keyboard are merely the inspired application of the works of Einstein, Del Pretto, Poincaré, and ancient Buddhists.  

He should be sure to explain this to the dullards who no doubt will comprise his next jury, using appropriate armpit sniffs, nose picks and ass scratches to emphasize the salient points.  Once their tiny minds comprehend that they are in the presence of unmitigated genius they surely will render the appropriate verdict.

There is something funny.
All those "debunkers" typically love to boast fancy degrees to wow the ignorant masses.
I watched a 1982 documentary trying to debunk astrology...all the 'experts' had degrees such as astrophysicist, nuclear midwife, neurological surgeon and the like...none say in statistical analysis.
Why?
To wow the unlearnt...the gregarious spirit we see at DI/DD makes it such as that they sheepishly follow the appointed cult leaders because they are smart.
When professor jokeboim wants to look cocky claiming that his favorite topic during afternoon tea is neutrinos, he's a walking joke.
Hell, they spent decades and millions just to show neutrinos existed, and how many kinds thereof existed, that it makes no impact on our lives whether they exist or not.
We are still stuck to reservoir-propelled rockets like the Nazis had in 1942.
These egg-heads sound like medieval theologians researching what kind of footwear did prophet Elijah wear on saturday.

[Armando Ramos]

Well, we finally get down to the bare metal. The DLT yahoos like to dis special relativity because Einstein was Jewish. The mathematical inevitability of its conclusions are, to the three morons who post there under seven aliases, to be ignored.

What is this idiot talking about?
Inevitability?
PFFT!
They talked like that about Newtonian physics...now it appears Newton comes as third best in a contest for the biggest jokes of all times (according to THEM, the egg-heads with many letters after their names )...and before Newton there was the inevitability of Ptolemy and Aristotle...to the point sages simply ended debates with IPSE DIXIT: if he said so, it must be true...
Oh, we forgot...they probably discarded Newton's theories because he was English...and Aristotle Greek...damn those racists, eh?
Where did Ham get that so far Einstein's theory about space/time has been proven only by comparing atomic clocks on planes or satellites with clocks on the ground, to differences of millionths of a second? Prof. Wolfson's TTC course...
Too bad Wolfson won teaching awards for HIS job, physics...he's not busy posing as 'expert' on phony degree any third grader can spot miles ahead.

When Einstein introduced the cosmological constant in his theory of general relativity he did so because he was guided by the paradigm of the day that the universe was static (i.e. neither contracting nor expanding.) The cosmological constant provided a way of balancing the gravitational contraction caused by matter. It was latter discovered by Edwin Hubble that other galaxies appear to be receding away from us, that the universe was actually expanding. When Einstein heard and fully appreciated these observations, he declared that the inclusion of the cosmological constant was his "biggest blunder."

Einstein's mistake was not a mathematical one but rather a philosophical one made many times over the history of thought. Einstein held too strongly to the belief that the universe was static and thus was unable to appreciate the power of his theory's predictions of a dynamic universe. His error serves as an lesson to all thinkers, that we should never close our minds to new possibilities, even if the thought of the day is that they are impossible. Imagine how history would have been changed had Copernicus refused to accept his belief that the sun was actually the center of the solar system, or had Columbus thought he would have fallen off the edge of the Earth. It is hard to know where the next paradigm shift will come from, but we should always be waiting for it.

One of today's paradigms is that the universe went through a period of rapid expansion, called inflation, early in its history, which would have caused the universe to be spatially flat today. This flatness is one of the motivations behind considering the cosmological constant in present day cosmology. We also expect the existence of a cosmological constant due to the vacuum energy predicted by quantum mechanics. We don't yet know whether a non-zero cosmological constant exists in our universe, nor do we completely understand the theory behind it. Most likely, this understanding will elude us until a complete theory of both gravity and quantum mechanics is developed.

The fact that the cosmological constant is still debated today, almost a century after it was introduced by Einstein, and that it lies at the crossroads of quantum mechanics and gravity, makes one think that it was probably not Einstein's biggest blunder, but perhaps his greatest legacy.

See?
Here they implied Einstein-blunderer misunderstood Einstein-genius about what was Einstein's own [well...aside from borrowing here and there] theory...it makes no sense... Einstein's philosophizing and Ron Hubbard's philosophy? Perhaps it's why it's called THEORETICAL physics?
PFFT!

Differential calculus, too, was discovered simultaneously by both Newton and Leibniz...Newton became furious over it, accusing Leibniz of cheating...turns out the variety we adopt is the Leibniz one.
It can get even funnier...
Ham watched these 2 men with many letters after their names cross wits over whether T-Rex was in fact a predator (as TYRANNOS (=king) and REX (=king) suppose)or a scavenger...both examined the same fossil records...both concluded inevitably it was a predator...or a scavenger, depending on who you ask.
Of course prof. Nebekhboim wouldn't expect the unwashed to know about any of the above...they are supposed to bother about the IX series of this cute new age series, where Muffy the bisexual witch is a$$ raped by a sodomite vampire of color and gives birth to the Green Lantern who goes on to foil a Nazi plot to take over Iceland in search for the terra cava...PFFT!

What is this idiot talking about?

Gollum's lies, threats and stalking just keep getting crazier and crazier.  You could post that "medication time" gag after just about everything he writes any more.

I used to get the impression he was just someone with no sense of humor trying to be funny.  Now I'm getting the impression he is someone with no sense of any kind talking trash because he has neither the facts nor the intellectual ability to formulate rational thoughts and arguments.

Given his track record of death threats, bizarre behavior and lawlessness you have to wonder whether he's completely gone over the edge now.  

At what point does he go postal?  Gollum seems to be showing many of the signs (at least 7 out of 12 on the first list below).  And do we have a duty to warn authorities if we suspect he is a threat to himself and others?

In recent years, there's been an interest in "profiling" the lethal employee.  One of the first attempts to do so was by Anthony Baron (1993) which is a widely published checklist that says there's a 90% probability of lethality if the offender has one or more of the following characteristics:

• History of violence
  
• Psychosis and/or projection
  
• Romantic obsession
  
• Chemical dependence
  
• Depression
  
• Pathological blaming
  
• Impaired neurological functioning
  
• Elevated frustration level
  
• Interest in weapons
  
• Evidence of personality disorder
  
• Vocalization of violent intentions prior to act
  
• Evidence of strange or bizarre behavior over time

Kelleher (1997) offers a somewhat different checklist which finds that certain features, like impaired neurological functioning, are uncommon, and that other features, like psychosis and personality disorders, are unknown.  The most common features are:

• History of violence
  
• One or more triggering events within a year
  
• Social isolation
  
• Romantic obsession
  
• Chemical dependence
  
• Severe or chronic depression
  
• Elevated frustration level
  
• Interest in weapons
  
• Vocalization of violent intentions
  
• Strange or bizarre behavior

A history of violence is the most reliable indicator. Often, the lethal employee has been an angry person since they were a young man, and they usually have a tendency toward pathological blaming.  A triggering event can be any incident, however minor, but usually is a series of incidents that threaten the person's ability to cope.  A socially isolated individual will have lived alone for many years, recently changed job locations, or suffered a separation or divorce.  The connection between social isolation and workplace homicide is strong. Romantic obsessions occur in a number of variations. Chemical dependence, or addiction, is assumed to be common.  Depression is the most common psychological disorder in the United States, and between 7-15% of people with it act out violently at some point. Elevated frustration is exhibited by an unwillingness to work with others and (sometimes) harassment toward coworkers or suicide gestures.  It generally takes a few years before the frustration becomes chronic enough to be called "elevated".   Kelleher calls the interest in weapons a "weapons fetish" and says they are preoccupied with weaponry or paramilitary subjects. Another strong indicator is a vocalization, or otherwise acting out, of violent intentions prior to committing a violent act.  A final, often overlooked, indicator is that fellow employees are often able to notice significant changes in behavior; hence, manifestations of strange or bizarre behavior are anything that causes concerns to coworkers.

Who cares?  Report him anyway!  He's making the Richard McBeef guy sound normal.
