Is it really unique? I'm afraid it might be a rather common attitude.
As a different example, we know, since a very long time that the
prohibition of drugs does not work at all: it augments the consumption
of drugs, in the worst unqualified conditions, and benefits immensely,
and *only* to the international crime and terrorism.
Concerning hemp all the papers showing that there is a serious danger
have been shown, since long, containing elementary errors in logic and
statistics, or having delirious protocols, but prohibition continues,
and the number of people suffering directly from it has grown and is
quite huge. All the literature is available, but nothing changes.
I could say much more on this, as I have studied the human-lies
phenomenon and the drugs fields is a nest of human lies, but it is now
a bit of topic (but not quite unrelated to information and
communication, through the notion of (purposeful)
misinformation,miscommunication and propaganda).
I think that the prospect of blowing up the planet is just a non-
concern for some lobbies, and that with fake religion we just accepted
fake science, and that there is no more free markets nor free-thinking
because all powers are concentrated into the hands of few bandits,
dispersed in rotten clubs, rotten politicians working for petrol or
pharma interests, etc.
I am alas very well placed to know that a part of the academical world
is itself hostage of those bandits.
So I am not so much astonished that nobody will give attention to
anything going against the special interest of a small community of
very influent people, influent by force and not by reason.
It is not so much astonishing, as we have not yet transformed,
accomplished the Enlightened Period. All sciences have come back to
Academy, except the most fundamental one (theology), with the result
that it stays in the hand of the charlatans. We are just still in the
Middle-Age, and the only difference is that it is a nuclear Middle-
Age, which is indeed a bit frightening. We are just not rational (yet?).
Having said this, I would also be happy to understand how some small
black hole could not evaporate. The math still eludes me.
Of course, I am not an expert in particle physics, and I cannot
pretend to even been convinced, through pure personal insight , why
black holes exist and should evaporate "in reality", as opposed to
simplification where the math is feasible, but where my intuition is
not solid enough to see if the math can be applied. But I am with you,
Otto, when asking why nobody tries seriously to answer your question,
as it is indeed a rather important one, locally.
Best,
Bruno
