There's nothing "sharp" about these people. If they were sharp they'd be spending their free time solving hard problems (which include cancer, aids, Alzheimer's) rather than maintaining an imaginary clock. Absolute nonsense, these "scientist" should be ashamed of themselves and in my mind they've already lost all credibility.
- edgarvaldes 10y ago>they'd be spending their free time solving hard problems. Well, this update in the clock can't take a significant amount of time.
- throwanem 10y agoWith a board empaneled to decide? Are you sure about that?
- sp332 10y agoPart of a scientist's job is communicating results to non-scientists.
- westbywest 10y agoA glance at the board's membership suggests the clock is a side project. Their daytime pursuits include nuclear research, environmental policy, public health preparedness against bio-attacks, climatology, and quantum physics. http://thebulletin.org/science-and-security-board http://thebulletin.org/science-and-security-board
- okreallywtf 10y agoSo they are not scientists? They haven't done anything to solve the worlds problems? I take it you are in a position to judge, since you seem to be handing out judgement even more freely than they are?
- anigbrowl 10y agoSo if you were smart, you'd be spending time solving hard problems instead of wasting time chatting to people on HN, yes? Well no, you're able to maintain a social life and hold political views and so on in parallel to your professional activities. Why wouldn't you think the same to be true of these scientists?
