Well fabristol, I think interfering with the news is a kind of dangerous practice… It can backfire, as I had the chance to verify in the past.

Cheers,

You are welcome and now we got another chapter:

We asked directly to Glashow.

Saw it Franco, thank you for mentioning it…

Fabristol, same as above. Thank you.

Now also the CERN physicist Alvaro De Rujula has written to Carlucci:

http://progettogalileo.wordpress.com/2008/03/02/alvaro-de-rujula-smentisce-la-carlucci/

It’s in italian but look at the last sentence:

“What italians have done to deserve all this? I don’t think it’s biblical punishment, even it does look like.”

The saga continues.
Please have a look at this link

Italian readers will appreciate the translation of the original term “distracted” …

Hi Ricky, italian2,

I have to say I like a lot Grillo as a human being and as a comedian, but I find him rather arrogant as a politician and leader. While many of his campaigns are highly popular, and one can hardly disagree with their aim, one is invariably left with a bitter aftertaste by observing how he masters the ad-hominem attacks which are so dear to our beloved right-wing politicians themselves.

Cheers,
T.

Beppe Grillo is a charlatan, no more no less than Carlucci and friends of her. he is just saying something that you like to hear.

Hi you all.

I’m just a layman with a layman’s interest in physics. I also happen to be italian and let me say that this episode is just the last one of an endless string of tragicomic performances made by those sorry excuses for politicians we have to deal with in these times.

You have only to say that our most credible political voice of today is Mr. Beppe Grillo, a *comedian* (BTW, his blog is an interesting reading for those who want to go further into italian facts, the link is http://www.beppegrillo.it, also in english).

Well, at least that bunch of clowns and charlatans are providing some good entertainement for the people abroad. We like always to distinguish ourselves, one way or another.

Dear Tommaso,
Carlucci’s intervention is an epiphany of the times we are living, maybe not even the most worrying ( an example: both
the center right and the center left governments tried to hinder
teaching of Darwin theories in middle term schools ). And besides, Carlucci would be indeed a more naive, but less outrageous Minister, than Clemente Mastella.
Irony is sometimes just a way of surviving…(also in a non-quantum world).
Ciao

I had the great luck to study together with Luciano Maiani at the university (beginning of the Sixties). My quantum mechanics examination was prepared on the notes that he took during the lessons. They were better than a book.
In my life I met several bright people (and also several Nobel prizes in physics). But I never met a person with such a talent. When you are young and you don’t know what is envy it’s easy to recognize the real value of your friends. Together we read in 1962 Ulysses and I was ashamed of myself by his deep understanding even of that novel. Of course at that time Murray Gell-Mann read Finnegans Wake, but there is always another giant. The letter of the Italian politician reminds me a German proverb that says: “I have seen also a taller dwarf: Ich habe shon einen größeren Zwerg gesehen”. Luciano Maiani deserves exactly what Sheldon Glashow has so frankly expounded.

Hi Franco,

indeed but do not underestimate on. Carlucci. She is definitely going to sit in the next parliament, and some have already expressed appreciation for her action and suggest the seat of minister of university and scientific research for her. Along the lines of minister Moratti (“donna Letizia” for her friends).

Cheers,
T.

Dear collegues and friends,
I would not insist putting so much blame on Hounorable Carlucci (yes, that’ her title , at least until next elections). Even if she was a bit rough on her first (and second) intervention, she will for sure change her mind after reading Iliopulus’ letter, particularly so after realizing that “the dangerous leading divergences cancel if chiral symmetry is broken by quark mass terms”, a fact that she maybe underestimated before her intervention. She also maybe ignored that , by early 70s, few people were aware of QCD asymptotic freedom, a notion so widespread in our Parliament to date.
