Axions are as elusive as WIMPS - they are only hypothesized and not detected yet. Yes, they make a lot of sense, but so did Supersymmetry, and now, particle physicists have given up on it, because they just could not detect any supersymmetric particles.

As I said: There are proposed paths, but they have even more work cut out for them. In fact, I called them more elusive.

And LIGO can't test the small Black Holes hypothesis. It measures gravitational waves in the wrong frequency band. The lowest mass it can detect is about the size of a neutron star binary (~ 3 solar masses). Advanced LIGO will be able to detect masses down to a single neutron star (1.4 solar masses), still too large for the hypothetic small primordial Black Holes.

The Minesweeper strategy is in fact the only way to do Science. Each theory in Science can be formulated as a negative, as events ruled out by the theory. That's how falsification works. If something happens which has been ruled out by the theory, then the theory has a flaw.

The "Time to move on" call is all nifty and fine.

The problem is: Where to?

We have no obvious path, and the ones proposed so far are even more elusive. Physicists would love to move on, and the ones leading a promising new way will be hailed as the Newtons and Einsteins of the 21st century. Currently, we are in the process to mark out all possible places to look, and we are crossing out the squares we have searched so far. Each square cleared is a success, because it narrows down the places to look even further.

No. Canada gets more than enough sunlight to make Solar viable. In fact, 90% of all Canadians live south of the southernmost point of Germany.

But you need a lot of electricity to keep all the ice cool for your tea.

That's the Science process. People make mistakes, and their results can't be reproduced. New papers are written to point out the errors. A study finds out why the results could not be repeated, and new knowledge has been gained.

Instead of improving the process of error correction, your idea seems to be to not do Science at all, because if no peer-reviewed papers are produced, there are no peer-reviewed papers which can't be reproduced, right?

He still can't prove his claims. No need to debunk him. And just because he was able to point out errors in some of the papers that tried to correct him, he wasn't proven right in any way. Errare humanum est, and you can be wrong in so many ways that most of them contradict each other. This does not make any of them more right than the others.

Of all I accused him, this is the only thing you noticed? And your argument boils down to "I can't be a racist. Some of my servants are black."

You have a very naive way of looking at the world. First, Russia does not place its intercontinental rockets around Moscow. They are mainly around the Kola peninsula close to the Finish border, in the Ural mountains, on the peninsula Kamtchatka close to the Alaskian Shore and on the Kurilian Islands North of Japan. Second, the Stable Genius did not have any Strategic ideas. He just looked at a map, and in his imperial reflex, he saw places in North America, which werenât U.S. territory, which greatly bothered him. As annexing Mexico would mean 100 Million Mexicans suddenly becoming U.S. citizens, he dropped the idea of demanding Mexico, but Canada and Greenland? Oh yes!

Then we are lucky, that they actually donâ(TM)t, with the exception being the Democratic Republic Congo. Or as the late Hans Rosling put it: You canât do politics for the 2000s with the Information from 1970.

An argument repeated at nauseam without ever being true, given the current president of the Ukraine is a Russian speaking jew.

The Hellenic Greeks (Alexander the Great and the Diadochs), the Romans and the Persians were famous for a) building really large empires and b) actually caring for the civilizations they conquered. After the Romans for instance conquered the last of the Greek Diadoch kingdoms, Greek became the language of choice for the Roman elite. Alexander the Great took over the Persian bureaucracy and even coopted the Persian court ceremonial for himself. Ptolemaios, despite being of Macedonian origin, became pharao of Egypt and started the longest lasting Egyptian dynasty of all, which existed for nearly 300 years. Persians took the cuneiform from the Assyrian and Babylonian cultures they conquered, and Babylon was the largest and most prosperous city of Ancient Persia.

So you are not exactly right with your assesment.

This could have been even funnier if, instead of French for "Viva la revolution", you used the Esperanto "Vivu la revolucio!".

You do it the same way as you do all your research. Compare them. Compare sources. Compare with previous knowledge. Do your due diligence. AI is just another source, and you work with it as with every other source. There is no point in throwing up your hands and cry: "But it's AI!".
