Early quantum theory had two approaches: Matrix mechanics proposed by Heisenberg and wave mechanics developed by Schrödinger.  Heisenberg found the physical ideas of Schrödinger's theory "disgusting," and Schrödinger was "discouraged and repelled"  by lack of visualization in Heisenberg's method.

From http://mooni.fccj.org/~ethall/quantum/quant.htm

The more I think about the physical portion of Schrödinger's theory, the more repulsive I find it...What Schrödinger writes about the visualizability of his theory 'is probably not quite right,' in other words it's crap.

--Heisenberg, writing to Pauli, 1926

From http://www.aip.org/history/heisenberg/p08.htm

Quote used in show:

Why are stone flakes made by small-brained early hominins in Ethiopia 2.5 million years ago immediately recognizable as artifacts (Semaw 2000), while supposed >15,000-year-old "tools' from the Americas are indistinguishable from naturally fractured stone?

Is this poisoning the well?

In an effort to keep Conspiracy Skeptic going and turning out shows on a more regular basis, I'm creating a new format called "Conspiracy Skeptic Unplugged" (or more accurately "unscripted"). I will interview a skeptical podcaster or blogger. I'm borrowing an idea from the now defunct Reason Driven podcast. The RDP would get a guest to read a chapter from a book called "The Reason Driven Life" and then talk about it. In Conspiracy Skeptic Unplugged my plan is to get a skeptical podcaster/blogger to come up with his/her favorite conspiracy, research it for a week or two, and then have the skeptic on my podcast to discuss the conspiracy.

My former Seoul Survivors podcast cohost Jennifer Booker Young was kind enough to help me do a beta edition to test out the format. The sound quality is pretty crappy on my end. Meh. Still trying to figure out audio on Vista and Skype. Hopefully the Grand Opening podcast with Brian Thompson of Amateur Scientist will have better sound (I bought a USB mike for that one).

Anyway, this is a long winded way to say sorry about the crap quality and things will get better. I hope you'll all hang in there with me.

Stuart is a young, gifted astronomy grad student who takes on creationism and pseudoscience in his blog. In this episode, Stuart discusses some of the attempts by pseudoscientists to explain why the universe is going to try and kill us on December 21, 2012 and why that is so much pure crap.

Michael Goudeau is not only a juggler and skeptic but he helped pioneer the field of DIY home surgery. That's a young Mike on the left. Visit his page and find out the true story behind this photo.

Michael Goudeau stops in to talk about vaccine hysteria, autism, his possible appearance at TAM 7, Penn and Teller's Bullshit, how you (or your boss) can actually hire him to entertain your corporate troops, the possible return of the Penn Jillette Radio Show, and a whole lot more.
