...nobody going to help us except ourselves

You have hit the nail on the head. But the majority of people (even those who claim to be FE researchers) prefer to assume that the word 'ourselves' in that sentence means somebody else in the group. 

Do you agree with Germano's arguments?

Do you agree with Germano's arguments?

Why should I agree ? :)Electric field was experimentally measured by two independent labs. It is exists.
And more (probably it is radical - I think that Second law is more like superstition or religious belief.There are so many evidence against it, only ignorant or politically/financially etc motivated people can argue about it.And it is funny that astronomer talk about this. What about new galaxies? forming starts? Isn't it decreasing of entropy ? There are many other examples closer to us...

Please correct spelling errors in the poll.

Done! Thanks for the heads up. The idea of the poll came up on the fly when I was in a hurry, and the copy-paste of typos just made it worse.

But I hope readers realize that English is not my first language (I am Hungarian). I have learned it on my own, without attending any courses. Therefore, there will be many typos (and grammatical errors) in my posts for which I am not going to apologize (or even bother to correct them), because they are irrelevant when we are talking about FE. This is not a forum about hair splitting English grammar or the fine art of poetry that would be all about proper spelling. By the way, I have seen many native English speakers who write worse than I do, with more typos...

Putting the hair splitting exercise aside, how about you finding the logical/scientific errors (instead of typos) in Germano's paper? That we would highly appreciate. In fact Nonlinear (and we as well) is eagerly waiting for your explanations. Do you want to look important? Here is your chance.
