URGENT NEED FOR HELP
It's okay for participation in the Colloques mentioned below.
See my report of participation in the Frankfurt colloquium
But I need to fund the subtitling of the videos (7500 euros)
I have a scientific communication accepted at the international colloquium
COSMO17
, which will take place in Paris from August 28 to September 1
(268 participants).
2-5 July 2017 B
udget:
- Registration fees: 550 euros, which I paid immediately - Round trip Pertuis-Paris TGV: 220 euros - Hotel, six nights: 600 euros
Total: 1370 euros
Ch is the first good news after a year spent trying to contact scientists in the field and seminar organizers, with only non-responses.
Je believe that if this response had been negative, I would have given up, having passed 80 years old, after 40 years of struggle, to do something else entirely. But this first opportunity forces me to fight. Since all the French seminars have systematically closed their doors to me, the only solution to gain a beginning of visibility in the scientific world is to launch into a (tiring) campaign of participation in major international scientific colloquiums.
Fin 2016, an opportunity had already presented itself. I had a communication accepted at the cosmology colloquium of the American Physical Society, of which I am a member. The colloquium was held in Washington in January. But I didn't have a penny to go. The minimal budget would have been 3000 euros.
American Physical Society
Sif the colloquium in Paris represents 1370 euros, an international colloquium is between three and four thousand, depending on the country. Anticipating, I have already sent abstracts to three colloquiums in Germany. The most interesting is the "Schwarzschild Colloquium" which will gather many theorists and mathematicians.
The Schwarzschild Colloquium
: Budget: 2000 euros. I don't have a single cent.

: My communication has just been accepted. Here is the message:
Dear Dr. Petit,
we are very happy about your contribution to the KSM2017. We have had an overwhelming number of submitted abstracts this year. Despite an overly full schedule and a long wait list we have managed to reserve a poster slot specifically for you, so that you can present your research to all the participants at KSM2017.
However, this offer is contingent on your registration for KSM2017. Please register and pay the conference fee of 400 EUR using this link: https://indico.fias.uni-frankfurt.de/event/4/registration
By July 7, 2017, please register for KSM2017, pay the conference fee, and inform us, if you accept our invitation to present a poster. If we do not hear from you by then, we will assume you are not interested in contributing any longer, and hence we will move to the next person on our wait list.
Hoping to see your work during the poster session.
Best,
Matthias

Dear Dr. Petit,
We are very happy about your contribution to the Karl Schwarzschild Colloquium 2017.
We have been overwhelmed by the number of contributions this year. Despite a full schedule and a long waiting list, we have decided to make an exception and include you in the poster program so that you can present your work to all participants.
Please pay the 400 euros registration fee and let us know when you will come.
I hope to see your work during this poster session.
Sincerely,
Matthias

Je have already paid the 400 euros registration fee and I will go. If the internet users help me, I will attend international colloquiums (budget 10,000 euros per year).
L'argent is the nerve of war, even in science. OK, I will fight. You will be kept informed.
Il y a aussi
the Fermi Colloquium
, in October:
Si I decide to participate in three or four events of this kind per year, it will represent an annual budget of 10,000 euros (...).
How can I be helped financially?

- The Paris colloquium - The Schwarzschild 2017 colloquium, the most interesting, starting on July 24!
Un octogenarian completely isolated in his countryside is going on an action that closely resembles that of Don Quixote preparing to fight the windmills. In my case, there are even no windmills!
A U
ne thing is totally obvious. If the Internet did not exist, the matter would be completely resolved. But there remains this unknown, and this means of dissemination represented by YouTube videos. As one internet user wrote
- Jean-Pierre Petit, the oldest YouTuber on the net!
Aucune aide à attendre des organes des journalistes scientifiques qui servent la soupe au "mainstream".
C'est d'ailleurs assez remarquable que le public puisse se trouver ainsi enfumé (c'est le pendant, en science, de ce qui se passe en politique). J'ai passé une journée à télécharger, puis à remettre sur le net une vidéo d'un certain
Aurélien Barrau
, membre du comité du Cnrs qui a la haute main sur les recrutements et la définition des orientations.
La voilà
. Je me suis simplement contenté de reproduire sur l'écran ses propres mots. Il semble que cela ait immédiatement suscité des réactions chez les internautes, auxquelles vous pourrez avoir accès. Mais j'ai appris par la suite que ces réactions existaient déjà depuis longtemps, en particulier émanant d'universitaires, d'enseignants en mécanique quantique et de chercheurs, agacés par le volume de conneries que ce type peut aligner à la minute. Simplement, Barrau supprime les commentaires qui lui déplaisent du lot. Il en a la possibilité
puisque c'est lui même qui gère ce compte Youtube
qui compte
30 vidéos ! (
qui représentent ses interventions). Ce type est un moulin à paroles. Mais si ces vidéos sont téléchargées et simplement remises en ligne à partir d'un autre compte, il ne pourra plus supprimer les commentaires. Ce qu'il craint le plus ce sont des critiques émanant d'universitaires, de scientrifique. Ce type a vraiment installé sur le net tout le nécessaire pour ... s'auto-discréditer.
Téléchargez par exemple la vidéo de
la conférence qu'il a donné au Centre de Physique Théorique du CEA
, puis reproduisez ses propres mots sous forme de texte, sur l'écran, et remettez le tout sur Youtube en attendant les commentaires des internautes, qui ne pourront alors olus être effacées, sinon par vous-même.. Aurélien Barrau est simplement un exemple de ce vide scientifique qui s'étale sur le net. Pour résumer sa "pensée": La "Théorie des Multivers" répose entièrement sur deux éléments : l'inflation et la théorie des cordes. L'inflation reopose sur l'hypothèse d'un champ inconnu, lié à une particule : .... l'inflaton. Quant à la théorie des cordes, elle commence à avoir sacrément du plomb dans l'aile.
Autrement dit cette théorie d'univers multiples ne repose sur absolument rien. C'est ... de la science fiction, rien d'autre. C'est égal, Barrau, qui n'a rien d'autre à vendre, enfume son public avec des phrases tarabiscotées, en citant force phi...
