"Selectively ignoring the robust evidence that contradicts you may win you a debate in the eyes of the general public [about MOND]. But in the scientific realm, the evidence has already decided the matter, and 5/6ths of it is dark." 👏👏👏

Basically: if it can't recreate the success of cosmology, it *doesn't work*. Period.
Dark matter: 1
MOND: 0

Disclaimer: I think it's important that scientists look at all options, including MOND. All possibilities should be explored to solve the DM problem. But my comment stands: if it can't explain cosmology, it can't work. And until it's able to, I'll not see it as a viable solution.

It's #BlackHoleFriday! So today, I'm going to tell you about how using a black hole could help us reach one of humanity's greatest aspirations that's only ever seen in sci-fi movies and TV shows: time travel! (Well, *kinda*) A thread:

(GIF credit: jila.colorado.edu/~ajsh/insidebh…)
Special Relativity tells us that, for objects that move really fast (like a spaceship), or ones in a large gravitational field (near a star, or say, a black hole), time moves slower than for objects at rest (for example, on Earth).
And I'm here to tell you that, if you took a spaceship and circled around a black hole, time would move slower for you than, say, your friend back on Earth! We'll calculate a specific example, and factor in the time it takes (and what happens to it!) for a spaceship to get there!

It was a Saturday Shoe Polishing Day this late morning. Started at 10am.
First, always make sure the shoe's verandah are brushed and blackened. Keep black, black. Brown, brown. Clear, neutral. It's essential.
Then you layer the leather with shoe wax as thinly as possible. In circular motion until it fades to a blur. Repeat at least 5 more time. Allow it to form a haze, and then take a lint free clothes to wipe it off. My left Florsheim Brogue in light brown uses neutral to keep color

On the Stanford Prison Experiment (SPE) bombshell:

I also attended Haslam's excellent talk and heard the tapes; indeed, they’re shocking. It's clear the SPE was an elaborate production; "subjects" were coached on how to act and informed about the intended results.

1/7
BUT, I don’t think it’s scientific fraud in the typical sense.

The SPE was never considered to be scientific. It’s typically presented in classrooms as a demonstration, not an experiment, and as a notorious case of ethical malfeasance.

2/7
Also, the SPE report was not published in a reputable psychology journal; it came out in the obscure Naval Research Review. Apparently, peer review did its job.

3/7

... and a public which asks their representatives to value #evidence will be the strongest driver of long-term #scienceadvice mechanisms.

Jeff Reading @SPH_Iloilo adds long-term funding to #scienceadvice mechanisms would also be an important step if we want long-term thinking
The workshop starts now ➡️ what are top 3 critical issues or structural themes in #Scienceadvice that an @INGSciAdvice presence in North America could address? #INGSA_NA18
And we're back after the interactive workshop, now discussing how to leverage the @INGSciAdvice network in #NorthAmerica context #INGSA_NA18, and what we can learn from other chapters
