Dear Paul Davies,
I have followed your career and am familiar with your work
in ethereal physics.
With wry
bemusement I note how you have misrepresented the terms of reference of the
Templeton Prize which you won in 1995.
The
below are disparate descriptors ex Wikipedia and from your own
website.
I recall
the bemusement that people felt about the Templeton organization in awarding you
the magnificent sinecure of US $1.7 million. To an avowed atheist - for
''progress in religion''
Because
THAT was the term of reference of the prize.
For a
while - a good while - you were cognisant of your responsibilities moral
to not viciously espouse your plainly - held atheist / anti religious ideas -
and to be generally pleasant in your verbal outpourings.
I
used to contemplate how different your attitude was to Richard Dawkins - the
militantly - anti - religious ethereal physicist. I have now made the same alleged
typo - error twice!
But that
was a long time ago: you have not denied that you have obscenely referred to the
missing Boson as god - damned particle! Call it vernacular language if you
like: but obscene it is to the Templeton people who have 1,700,000 reasons for
decrying ever giving you their prize!
And
obscene it is to probably half the world! [please do not debate the numbers with
me]
Never
mind the humbug - which via this nomenclature - you have clearly
created.
So Mr
Davies - you now call your home the College of Liberal Arts &
Sciences.
Wonderful!
I would
have thought that science was science without the defacto political nomenclature of
Liberal.
It is
so oxymoronic or strained or merely
slightly silly.
Now the
real reason for writing to you.
I want
your support!
I
want you to agree with me that ethereal physicists' besotted dream re the Higgs
Boson is merely an ode to bachus!
Please see the links below.
Pass it around your ethereal class.
Discuss it vigorously - and write a paper!
You may become the person to write the first major paper
antithetical to Bachus / Boson, which simultaneously challenges ethereal physicists!
Yours Sincerely,
Geoff Seidner

BACHUS
www.columbia.edu/dlc/garland/deweever/B/bachus.htm - Block columbia.edu
BACHUS,
BACUS. Bacchus is a Lydian name for Dionysus, the Thracian fertility god. A son
of Jupiter, he later became the god of wine. Jupiter visited
Semele ...
Until 2001, the name of the prize was "Templeton Prize for
Progress in Religion", and from 2002 to 2008 it was called the "Templeton Prize
for Progress Toward Research or Discoveries about Spiritual
Realities"
+ Templeton Prize
When and where?
I was awarded the 1995 Templeton Prize for my work on
the deeper significance of science.
