[QUOTE]Originally posted by Bernd: [QB] Finally some reactions on the intended topic of this thread. Even if you all don't get the impression, I think that everyone should be allowed to enjoy any fiction the way he likes it. I can accept if Boris projects science fiction into the realm of the real world, while I myself strive to keep much of the illusion for myself. I don't think we really have a problem here. I can even live with those rabid fan boys and their stupid cross-over fiction, as it is easy to ignore them. They don't hurt anyone. But Mike Wong does. He is twisting arbitrary scientific facts until they fit, and being a scientist myself, I will never accept that. I could live with his silly claims if it were all written from a naive fanboyish viewpoint, but the frequent insistence on "scientific" principles makes me mad. There is no excuse such as this all being a "scientific exercise". So it's fun to him to determine the amount of energy necessary to blast away the planet Alderaan as an exercise. What does it prove concerning the credibility or capability of the DS? Absolutely nothing. Moreover, if we observe the site, such excursions to science *without any additional arbitrary or custom-tailored border conditions* are rare among all the unproven assertions and propaganda. As for the profoundness, any first-semester student should be able to do all the observations and calculations on Wong's site. That's a part of the scientific work, but not the decisive one. When Wong fails to see or does not want to see the function principle on the whole, he fails as a scientist. Actually, all his findings are "reverse deductions" (that's a word I just made up because I don't recall the exact term), meaning that he selectively produces input that suits his predefined conclusion. I would enjoy this twisted science if it were a parody. But it is the original, and it is meant seriously. [/QB][/QUOTE]
