The Green Party dilemma

I've told you many times: the models can't be tested. They're not science.

That sentence is nonsensical, you'll need to expand on it. Argue your case, don't just assert it. You can just link a paper if you're feeling lazy.

Then you don't understand what you're talking about.

Given I teach in one of said classes, I think that's unlikely.

Why do you think that one model being reliable for one period of time means another model will be reliable for a different period of time? If I made a model that showed a steady state, would that be reliable because a different model in the 1960s sort of worked?

The models are constructed from similar intellectual 'starting materials' and make big efforts to capture the dynamics of the system. Just because a system exhibits non-linear phenomena, criticality etc, doesn't mean it's immune to analysis and forecasting.

You're assuming this.

They are objectively more sophisticated as they include more parameters and are more computationally intensive.

Your only reason is political faith. You want them to be true. You can't test them so your faith isn't rational.

I test them by checking that they obey conservation laws and don't produce non-physical results, no singularities or spikes etc.

Yeah, I'm sure you wasted the time you invested on your supposed first major for fun.

I don't know how university works in America, however here you're able to do your dissertation across several areas. My shift was more of a shift sideways anyway, medical physics and particle physics (you might call it high energy physics?) overlap heavily, my research applied to both.

My undergraduate majors were chemistry and physics, with almost enough maths for an applied maths major as well.

If you had planned you wouldn't have wasted time in your supposed first major. I actually suspect that you have no education in science at all since your arguments are Reddit-basic and consist solely of childish tactics like bullying and name-calling.

If you click on my profile you can see that I'm a mod of /r/science. You can't be a made a mod unless you prove you have at least a STEM bachelors. I'm not going to link you my university profile because I don't want to expose myself to you, given I think you're a bit batty.

My arguments are Reddit-basic because you haven't demonstrated the ability to go higher level. I'm talking to you like one of my students.
