This is amazing.

I shall do an analysis of what has happened at www.ivorcatt.co.uk/bruton.htm . At least I hope to.

Briefly for now.

There are two sciences, real science and Pop science.  The public, and funding committees, prefer pop science, which becomes pure theatre.


I have looked at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0l1diFGxIg   again. Hilarious. Pure theatre.  

Science is incompatible with career, because science advances by revolution, as T S Kuhn (actually Polanyi) says.

Careerists cannot have to tear up their text books (about Phlogiston and Caloric) or lecture notes. Students work hard,and will not allow someone to undermine their qualifications, which prove they have learned what is already known, not mere conjecture (or more advanced science).

In come archivists and institution librarians and (graduate) museum keepers. Do they allow Duesberg into their archives? Will the Science Museum funding increase or decrease if the museum steps outside pop science, and promotes the newly re-found Heaviside, (or Duesberg)? Is it easier to call Duesberg (and Catt) homophobic?

Since Elizabeth has now blocked Catt, it is necessary for Duesberg to tell Eliozabeth Bruton whether Catt is homophobic.

 

Ivor Catt only recent;ly stumbled on the idea of "academic omerta". Only days ago he realised that omerta also applies to all Catt's expected allies, those who are also suppressed, but on other subjects - climate, AIDS.

It has to be expected that Duesberg will not in fact write to the Science Museum Elizabeth to say Catt is not homophobic. Even though study of fringe workers - in libraries and museums, and the way they have to keep within the canon, surely needs to be studied.

The IET still suppresses Heaviside, but the IET, who used to suppress OH, now spend a lot of money on him. Still the Science museum suppresses Heaviside. But the archivists in the two places work closely together. There are many other dysfunctions when Wellcome buys the Science Museum and then promotes, not their killer drugs, but orthodox climate change dogma (the other scam). Why do the operators of the AIDS scam, after spending so much money buying the Science Museum, promote the other major scam, climate, not their own scam, AIDS killer pills?

Why will the victims of all this, Duesberg and Sonja, not cooperate to study the "system"?

 

The Smithsonian hedges its bets between the two theories of flight - Bernouilli and Newton. The Science Museum suppresses both. All will continue to suppress the Catt idea that both theories of flight are not theory of flight, but theory of lift in a wind tunnel. Look at the arrows, from left to right. Sonja and Euesberg (and even Hodgkinson) will not step outside their turf and study the other suppressions, in other fields.

Dear Ivor,

 

Unfortunately I cannot continue a conversation of any kind with someone who believe that the allegedly suppressed science of their friends (colleagues?) is worth even one awful death by HIV/AIDS let alone hundred of thousands of my gay brothers and sisters and others too.

 

I’m done and you’re blocked.

All these emails in one or two hours between Elizabeth and Stephen are fabulous. Elizabeth wants to keep to the subject of who employs her. Here is something for starters.

Aa an engineer in Cambridge on theory of flight I was taught Bernouilli, and believed it for 40 years. Then two Americans pulleed the plug with Newton. I felt such a fool, and checked out the Smithsonian and Science Museum. I found the Smithsonian hedged their bets and promoted both, in say 1990. The Science Museum still has no Theory of Flight at all. I tried to get the info through to a voilunteer guide but failed. However, the Science Museum has many many planes, but I cannot tell which notice board refers to which plane. I am, ex RAF and my father was 30 years RAF, so I really want to know about those planes. It only needs a number hanging on a planwe, for instance 7, and a number on its notice board.

Recently I came up with my own third theory of flight, which nobody knows. I would be very happy if Elizabeth asked me what it was. I hope shwe doesn't just check my website, where she might ifnd my third theory.

Eliz has published an article on Heaviside, so she kno9ws about OH. My best story owuld be uif her employers totally exxcluded OH, but not so. There are perhaps five words about him in the middle of one three line small notice. That is all her emplpoyers have on OH. They have a great deal about his much less important uncle Wheatstone. I shall be very grateful if she gets OH into his rightful position.

Now for the Einstein shrine. I was deeply horrified, and could not stay in the room when I took Stephen there. However, he has been replaced by something even more upmarket than Ein, now a woman in space figures instead. However, I am no fan of Ein.

Wellcome bought the Science museum, and promotes the Establishment view on AIDS, totally suppressing the contrary view of Duesberg and the other 500 or 1,000 scientists including myself and Nobel |Prize Winner Kary Mullis. On the phone, Kary weeps in frustration because people die because he is suppressed in order that Wellcome can sell more killer drugs.

Duesberg is full of praise for the thesis by Sue that I got her to write. .http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/sue.html

There is nothing alleged or tangential about the suppression of science. The scientific truth is routinely suppressed so that demonstrable falsehoods can continue to fleece the public purse of billions for nonsensical and useless contraptions masquerading as research projects.

Dear Ivor,

 

I asked to not be included in emails unrelated to the crosstalk and Heaviside and was happy that you obliged. Then the emails from your colleague / friend Steve came through making some pretty serious and, as yet, utterly ungrounded accusations that the Science Museum (for which I work for) and IET archives (with whom I work closely) would not adhere to their legal obligations to preserve and provide access to material that is or would come to their / our collections and archives.

 

We have, I believe, exchanged tens of emails beginning with your initial enquiry about my Heaviside article in the Phil Trans special issue and I have yet to receive an email which concretely relates to Heaviside’s work on crosstalk. I would be delighted to receive such an email but will not hold my breath.

 

I don’t believe I have the time to meet for lunch with someone who refers to me as a “babe in the woods”.

 

Lastly: yes, I am a Julie Andrews fan and quite enjoy the Sound of Music. Indeed I cited it in a footnote of my PhD thesis – see Bruton, E (2012) “Beyond Marconi: the roles of the Admiralty, the Post Office, and the Institution of Electrical Engineers in the invention and development of wireless communication up to 1908”, 135. Available online at http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/4431/1/EBruton%20.pdf  Perhaps of more interest, two Heavisides (Oliver and Arthur) are mentioned on pp. 58-62, 116, 119 in my thesis and my PhD research on crosstalk led to my Phil Trans paper. I also included the Searle book in my bibliography.

 

Regards,

 

Liz

Dear, dear Elizabeth,

Deja vu. Some time ago you told me to go away, and i replied that I would go away, for good. Then you came back. Further, the Julie Andrews sound of music singing you then sent us was surely not within your professional responsibilities.

 

If you "do a Pepper", who has cut off from me for 25 years, that is simple. Steve and I can permanently cut off from you. However, your srticle in the Heaviside centenary volume about heaviside was the only one about Heaviside. All the others were about their authors, not Heaviside. Except that the Yakovlev article was devoted, not to Heaviside, but to me, Ivor Catt.

 

You could join us in studying why articles allegedly about Heaviside are not in fact about Heaviside, but about their several authors, except the Yak one is not about Yak, but about me.

 

Six months ago Alex Yak emailed me that our business was "every man for himself". Shall I find his email, or will you believe me?

 

You are probably just a Babe in the Wood. However, whatever your situation, we very much need your help. Science is in a terrible mess, and I have gained a good grasp of the situation. I would love to come and tell you about what you have become enmeshed in. I could take you out to lunch as my guest, the restaurant of your choosing.

I figured if we were going to go off on a tangent, we might as well as go on a tangent at least loosely related to my professional responsibilities – that is for the Audio and Sounds Reproduction collections and more specifically musical theatre.

 

I don’t mean to raise the heat in this email thread any further but it really does beg the question: Do Disney films count as musicals and, if so, is “Let it go” from Disney’s Frozen the musical anthem of the 2010s?  Answers on postcard please.

 

Lastly, given that this email thread has strayed quite far from my professional and collections responsibilities at the Science Museum, I shall have to bid you gentleman adieu and must request to not be included in future email correspondence (again!).

Dear Elizabeth,

 

Your faith in your institutions does not mean that they are trustworthy. Enough has transpired for others to distrust them. Enough has transpired across the board to know that the scientific community at large is dishonest, but like usual suspects, it pleads innocence, even when confronted with evidence.

 

Yours faithfully,

Dear Steve,

 

My comments were directly specifically about the Science Museum and the IET Archives and not the IET more generally (although I would trust the latter). I cannot comment on editorial policy at the IET, IEEE, or Phil Trans journals or indeed discussions at the Royal Society but I can, as per my previous email, say that the Science Museum and IET archives do not suppress science and does make (indeed are obliged to make) their archival material and object collections available to the general public and would not, were either institution to take in Ivor’s Heaviside material, make sure they were never seen again – a very serious and mis-placed accusation indeed.

Dear Elizabeth,

 

Ivor Catt has been banned from IET and IEEE journals for more than 50 years. Members of the Royal Society refuse to discuss between themselves their contradictory answers to The Catt Question. Oliver Heaviside was not mentioned in textbooks for the best part of 100 years. The recent memorial publication of articles on Heaviside in the Philosophical Transactions painted a false picture of Heaviside, where the articles mentioned him, and most of the articles did not even address what is in Heaviside's books and papers. Ivor Catt, custodian of a large cache of Heaviside's paper and letters, which I have personally inspected and held in my hands, was not even invited to contribute an article to this special publication of the Transactions.

 

You might very well trust the IET, but it does not follow from that that the IET is trustworthy. I wouldn't trust its people as far as I could spit, given its record. Let's see if the IET will publish 50 words by Catt. I'll bet you the proverbial London to a brick that it won't, just as it hasn't.

 

Yours faithfully,

Steve Crothers

Dear Steve,

 

The existing Heaviside collection held by the IET Archives is catalogued extensively at http://archives.theiet.org/detail.aspx?parentpriref=110000175 and searchable via their online catalogue, as is other Heaviside material held by the archives. All Heaviside material held by the IET archives is publicly accessible by booking in an appointment to visit the archives via the link sent through in my previous email. IET Archives also have biography of Heaviside on their website at https://www.theiet.org/publishing/library-archives/the-iet-archives/biographies/oliver-heaviside-1850-1925/  In addition, IET Archives waived image reproduction fees for Heaviside-related images from their collection which I included in my Phil Trans paper. If this is suppression of science, then we shall have to agree to disagree.

Dear Steve,

 

Under the National Heritage Act 2002 both the IET Archives and Science Museum have an obligation to preserve and manage our collections including archival holdings and to make them available to the general public. Details on the Science Museum library and archives including our online catalogue and how to arrange a visit are at https://www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/researchers/library-and-archives-national-collections-centre  Details on the IET archives including their online catalogue and how to visit are at https://www.theiet.org/publishing/library-archives/the-iet-archives/  The accusation you make that papers given to either the Science Museum or IET archives would never been seen again is a very serious and entirely unjustified one.

 

The email below was sent to Ivor, Alex and Chris only and, as per the footer at the bottom of all our Science Museum emails, “This e-mail and attachments are intended for the named addressee only and are confidential”, and so it was not in Ivor’s gift to include further recipients nor for you to quote it in such a bizarre fashion.
