I don't see anything in Dr Falkov's résumé indicating any qualification in astronomy. Hoagland's résumé, as is well-known, contains no qualification in anything.expathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10369924104634464934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051630750074978974.post-31940814088132233932010-07-11T09:34:17.800-07:002010-07-11T09:34:17.800-07:00I liked the assumption that the papers were about ...I liked the assumption that the papers were about refuting his theory, "explaining the unexplainable" as he put it. Neither paper had anything to do with that. One of the papers was written in 1979, long before Hougie's obsession with Phobos, and the other paper was an attempt to interpret data from Galileo and NEAR Shoemaker. In other words, they were about science, which explains why Hougie didn't get it.Chris Lopeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15603182786879935663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051630750074978974.post-6566701865693910192010-07-11T09:02:18.855-07:002010-07-11T09:02:18.855-07:00Obstinate bastard, isn't he?
