Lubos Motl, an undergraduate physics student at Charles University in Prague, was not feeling very cheerful over the Christmas holidays in 1996.
Motl was a 22-year- old undergraduate, Dr. Banks and others were writing about a new and more encompassing version of string theory called the matrix model.

The results of this experiment agree with quantum mechanics and all of its mainstream interpretations; in fact, classical electromagnetism is sufficient to explain the observations, they say.

Lubos, it is just a common convention in the US that the losing presidential candidate says something conciliatory and pleasant, just as it is a convention that the president-elect says he will govern for the rather large number of people who didn’t vote for him.
Lubos, in 1960 a majority of people in the deep south believed that segregation based on skin colour was fine.
What Lubos *genuinely* does not realize is that this frightens people like Mathew and myself precisely because we are interpreting that he is in agreement with Delay, Falwell and the like.

 Good Curses; blistering reviews, blustering views etc
Motl also mentions that constructive qft would be a better thing to study than our book.
Motl's main claims are that Wightman theory has given no physical predictions, and that nevertheless "most of its conclusions are believed to be incorrect".
Motl and others replied that this was not true in models; Motl concluded that the theorem must be false, not from a misreading of the book, but from a non-reading.

Here Luboš forgets that the most detailed commentary has appeared from the very beginning of the whole affair on the site of Arkadiusz jadczyk.
Luboš thinks that his blog article is one of the first ones that suggests that Bogdanov’s paper may look as good as papers of many experts.

Lubos Motl has taken to signing some of his postings with “leashed”, and Capitalist Imperialist Pig has speculated that “My dark suspicion is that he might have gotten caught in a PC violation in the Summers Affair, forcing him to do a T reversal to save his Lorentz invariant m ass”.
Everything else Lubos does on his blog is a “petty misdemeanor” by comparison and the authorities would be petty themselves, were they to discipline him for it.
I think Lubos was getting out an important message about the Landscape school of pseudo-physics, that his language in his “Kennedy Landscape” piece was too effective, and that departmental authority, conceivably in the shape of Cumrun Vafa or someone equally august, stepped in.

Professor Motl’s most recent remark, about Politzer, Weinberg, the beta function, and who got to check it out, highlights an atrophy of the spirit that shows why theoretical physics is chasing itself up its own fundament.
Motl is that type of scientist that Einstein specifically despised - the quick mind without insight, blind and hungry for power and fame.
The comments Lubos is making about the quest to understand NATURE are valid.

What value is this tradition---suppose we relax the rules (as Lubos has been asking for) and make excuses---well we cant test because the machines arent good enough etc. etc.

 James' Empty Blog: A betting update
Lubos Motl made a rather childish offer that he would accept odds of 8:1 in his favour on a 10 year bet, but only so long as it used only a single year of data at each end.
So Motl's 8:1 offer is roughly a fair bet even under conditions of continued strong warming - hardly a sceptical viewpoint.
I reckon Lubos' 8/1 is a bit high but not by much.

It's true, Peter was comment one, but Lubos did not predict two comments?:) So maybe fifty fifty,unless he had the ability to go back in time and change what could have appeared as prediction under the guise of editorial challenges?:)
Since the Lubos string theory consistently gives predictions that Lubos will always erase any anti-string messages, I am going to cross post this message to other Blogs, before Lubos had a chance to erase it.
I predict that Lubos will soon write a paper using quasinormal modes to prove that the ratio of the Nastase parameter to the Immirzi parameter is always precisely the log of the square root of 7.

 Cabi's Glasses: Coleman Fest: Day 2
Lubos, Peter and David very well summarized the second day so I don't need to spend your and my time.
Many mainstream workers in quantum field and gauge theory and string theory (notably Lubos Motl) seem to be quite dismissive of the whole notion of a discrete basis for spacetime structure and physics generally.
My assumption is that this attitude stems from the belief that discreteness in nature should be understood as a consequence of quantum mechanics, not a part of its foundations.

 David Guarrera's Worldsheet: Animosity in Academia
Lubos is a protege of Ed Witten, the godfather of string theory, and Lubos's present position in the string mafia includes acting as internet enforcer: that is, not only does Lubos advocate and publicize string theory on usenet groups, blogs, etc., but he also attacks and tries to dismiss all alternative points of view.
Lubos is no more likely to openly discuss with an open mind an alternative to conventional string theory than is Rush Limbaugh likely to discuss openly and fairly a criticism of President Bush.
Note that, after his first comment in which Lubos says that the LQG "picture has been ruled out", and that giving resources to LQG is "completely unacceptable", and that advocates of LQG are not "very smart", he has the gall to say in a subsequent comment, about LQG advocate Lee Smolin "...

 The Quantum Pontiff » Not Even Publishable?
Also please note that, unlike you, Lubos, and others, I try to be careful to have some respect for other people and deal with their arguments seriously instead of just accusing them of ignorance.
But I think it is completely pathetic that all you and Lubos can think to do when presented with an informed critique of string theory is to personally attack me, without evidence, as not knowing what I’m talking about.
What Lubos meant is that string theorists have a monopoly of good ideas in reconciling gravity with quantum mechanics.
