[...] K.C. Cole, moving force behind the Categorically Not! meetings that Clifford has blogged about, has left an interesting comment on Clifford’s post from September on Point of View. It’s provocative (and I largely agree with it), so I thought I would reproduce it here on the front page. Now that it’s time for our October Categorically Not!, I finally have a moment to respond to objections some people raised about my September blurb on the subject of Objectivity, or Point of View.

[...] I just pulled the bits that I wanted out of the full sentence to make the shorter one. Ok, this might be a bit of an artificial example, but it precisely illustrates what took place at the end of last week’s Categorically Not! gathering. It also characterizes other presentations that I’ve seen in several places recently in the media, but it fills me with dismay when it is done by scientists who should know better.

[...] Here’s some news I’ve been bursting to tell you for a while, but had to wait until it was official. It is going to be announced tomorrow, so we’re ahead of the pack here. You may recall the science writer K.C. Cole, who I’ve mentioned before in connection with the programme Categorically Not! about which I’ve posted here, here and here, and whose comments also featured in a recent post by Sean. Well, she’s left the LA Times, and has moved to… USC! [...]

From a artistic point of view, there had to be some vision other then traffic to help us see that valuation of what clocks can mean? It’ll be interesting to see what his opening will be in conjunction with the other indivduals that will make up this presentation.

LAWRENCE M. KRAUSS:The insights that Einstein’s theories have given us about the basic workings of the cosmos, on scales as large as the visible universe itself, and going back to theearliest moments of the Big Bang, are invaluable to our understanding of nature and themselves should justify the support we provide for continuing research in general relativity and cosmology
