"Newtonians" were right for a long time, then technology got better. Since then Einstein has been right. eventually, somewhere in the future, technology will get to the point where we'll have an even more precise definition. Electric universe, on the other hand, has NEVER been right, and when the few predictions it's made have been tested, they've been outright WRONG.

I get it, you're too fucking stupid to understand Relativity, and need some simple, no math, brain dead bullshit to make you feel special. You are special, but not in a good way. You're a fucking anon coward to start... if you have an opinion, put your name to it... or fuck off yourself you whiny little pseudo-science bitch.

Because most people aren't fucking idiots like you who think we should throw out 100+ years of science and WORKING TECHNOLOGY that requires that science to be correct. Electric universe is nothing more than a fucking con game for sucking idiots like you. There are no massive electric and magnetic fields that Alfven said had to exists (COBE and WMAP showed that). There are no galactic sized electrical arcs jumping between stars (we've never seen one, even thought they'd have to be a permanent structure).

If you have to be an anon coward cunt talking about shit you know nothing about, just fuck off.

NIH's budget has gone up dramatically in both real and adjusted dollars in the past decade. They do some good work, but they also have way more bureaucrats then they need to do their job.

A modest increase is plenty. A modest cut wouldn't hurt but Obama wouldn't accept that because he's using NIH, CDC, and other agencies to hide the true cost of "Affordable" healthcare.

...and that's if you want to be a graduate student. In some fields (and some research groups) it's worth it. One physicist's take: http://scientopia.org/blogs/galacticinteractions/2012/01/14/777/

I posted elsewhere at the top level but it hasn't been modded up (maybe you can find it anyway), so, in the hopes you read this: find scientist's blogs and read them. There are a lot of them. The pseudonymous ones are more helpful as they generally don't beat around the bush about expressing their views. There is a lot of exactly the kind of wisdom you are seeking available in the scientific blogosphere. There are quite a few female science bloggers also, which should give you a feel for the "special challenges" that unfortunately come with being female in academic science. This is something to read -- not the best thing by far, but very true and from there you should find a lot of edifying blogs.

I guess one thing to bear in mind is that what may seem reasonable in your early 20s may not seem so reasonable in your early 30s or 40s -- but like all these things, you can probably be told that repeatedly and won't really understand until you get there. Best of luck whatever you do, anyway.

Because you don't understand Godel's theorem, which is grossly misunderstood by basically everyone who's ever heard of it colloquially. Here, have a little read on how it's so wonderfully misunderstood, and so horribly misapplied.

Well, you'd be wrong. For humans and monkeys both, it seems.
