However you have done a lot of work in that field as indicated in your bio which I would suggest our observer read for more information.

Now as to our conversation.

“You are to be praised for not being afraid of physics in sociology.”

Well thank you, to me physics was always the most interesting non-social science and with this topic I get to combine both.

If you ask me whether I had studied physics formally as a young man, the answer is no.

I took back my reproach that you were lying — can you forgive me?

You are a mdeical doctor and you have worked in the field of chemistry, not physics. You have no formal eduction in physics. Please tell us if any of my statements are wrong.

I have been working in mathematical physics for many decades, dear observer. Take care, Otto

Where is my lie??????

Roessler is a medical doctor and equally (in)competent to judge these issues as any oher layman.

You are to be praised for not being afraid of physics in sociology.

And thank you for giving an undisproved theorem of a single physicist a maximally high weight.

It will be my pleasure to continue the conversation.

Stop right there, not being a member of the scientific community? I start work on my PHD in sociology next year a different realm of science to be sure but still very much a part of the scientific community. Furthermore the idea that members of the scientific community would be more willing to take the word of a single man then the general public is in fact completely turned around; in fact the opposite is true.
