A while back I was teasing Morein about getting some measurements wrong with respect to a telescope. Actually the Hubble telescope. He denied that he ever had done so or that he had ever had such a conversation on another newsgroup. It was part of one his bullshit rants where he was claiming that there is some meaning in the fact that sighted listening produces results that are at variance with blind listening. Naturally, he was ripped to shreds by the actual experts on rec.audio.pro. You may discover more of what a boob he is by going here-- http://groups.google.com/group/rec.audio.tech/browse_thread/thread/a09446e71 cb1c654/ce02f0bf81e971cd?lnk=st&q=robert+morein+(telescope )+group:rec.audio.tech&rnum=1&hl=en#ce02f0bf81e971cd Note that he tries to tell Dick Pierce that Mr. Pierce is wrong. BOB said: "Dick, I didn't realize you're a member of the bull**** club as well. The telescope mirror is 40 inches in diameter, and the Focault knife-edge test would have easily detected the abberration in the assembled system." Dick Said: "Kind readers, witness Mr. Morein describing ME as a member of the "bull**** club," when he a) quotes the mirror size quite incorrectly (it's a 2.4 meter Ritchey-Chretien all-mirror system, that's 94 inches) AND while he might be have passing familiarity with the term Focault test, he is clearly unfamiliar with the fact that Focault knife-edge testing was NOT used for figure verification" If Morein can think that 40" is the same as 2.4 meters, then why can't 4 microns be the same as 50 microns? That's the GOOD science that Morein practices. Of course, Moreain can't even describe the simplest of physical optics correctly, for example: [a] 100 watt lightbulb in a tin can, with a pinhole creating an approximation of a parallel beam A pinhole CANNOT, under ANY circumstances, create ANY approximation of a parallel beam unless it is placed approximately an infinite distance away. This sort of completely fundamental error doesn't do a lot to lend any crdibility of his shrill cries about someone else's "bad" science. His "science" has 40 inches equaling 95 inches (2.4 meters), 4 microns equaling 50 microns, and pinhole light sources emitting parallel rays." http://robertmorein.blogspot.com/ "I don't really have a replacement career, it's a very gnawing thing."
