Software developers are not physicists. Software developers aren't even mathematicians, although many are enamoured with related concepts.
To grasp the difference between the hard academic sciences and software development community, consider the differences between a telephone company and an astronomical observatory with a large telescope on a mountain top.
Many people here might be amateur enthusiasts, mixed with a handful of professional academic participants. Any award winning physicists hanging out here would be surprising.
That said, feel free to distinguish yourself by outshining everyone else. It would be a welcome addition.
Be nice. We all make mistakes in subjects we don't know. I have a few examples in my comment history ...
Try to pick one or two comments that are wrong but not very wrong. Reply to them explaining the error(s). I like to add a Wikipedia link when available.
Ignore the very wrong comments. It's usually impossible to give a coherent reply. You only will get upset.
Also, to encourage a civil discussion try to upvote the grey comments unless they are offensive or extremely wrong.
well how about writing a series of blog posts to enlighten us lesser mortals. In any case somebody should be doing that.
I am an engineering grad with decade and a half of gap in physics education despite of my constant high level interest/familiarity. I can honestly say I have no idea what bi-local causality is which this article handwaves around in the first para. how can you expect people to debate this when they cant even cut open this basic 'black-box'.
