International Conferences on Science Obscurities
(1 & 2)

The big international debate between St. Anselm and St. Hyeronimus  will be followed by an open discussion-session on contemporary   science. Debate: July 2 AD 1098, (discussion): July 4 AD 1998+.  The Big Debate of the two St.-s will include the angelic nuclear impact  of BOSE-EINSTEIN (BE)-condensates on the impedance of semiconductor radiation in  Frohlich oscillations for cytoplasmic thought generation. The topics of the Open Session for fin-de-millenium scientists will be:

  
Can 1000 consciousnesses (Cs) dance on the tip of one complexity (Cx) ?
Can 1000 Cx-ies dance on the tip of one (Cs)?

Both debates will be characterized by the topical knowledge of the participants.  The first two debators are happily waiting for the concepts to clear with the religious authorities (Nobel), while the debators of the second session seem to know it all - putting extra life into the discussion: the less one is impeded by factual knowledge the easier it is to lively argue against a concept.

THE ORGANIZING COMMITTEE welcomes definitive posters to identify Cs and Cx, like:   

       Cs is not what the brain does
       Cs is not a feeling or thought
       Cs is not the Cartesian Theatre
       Cs is not a function
       Cs is not mystique - etc.,
               or:
       Cx is not complicatedness
       Cx is not the # of lines in a software
       Cx is not the # of blueprints in a design
       Cx is not the amount of involved information
       Cx is not the weave-of-rules - etc.,

Since Karl Popper prohibited the proof for scientific theory (only falsification allowed), positive opinions should be tentative. All current theories of Cs and Cx should be validated at the level of the time of the Main Session, ie. AD 1089. Any later speculations are incomplete.

The Organizing Committee (all one of us) is working on a tentative combination of Cs & Cx, to identify Csly the Cxy OR Cx-ly the Cs.

Good luck wishes accepted Wed.-Thur. 10:30 - 11:47 am. The OrgCom.

Location of Conference:   Winchester Cathedral, UK   (under construction since 1065)

Submissions:  Parchment is preferred.  Abstractivity is assumed.  Toys allowed only  for Mathematical arguments.  Reality will be checked at time of registration.  And no one will be permitted to leave without it.   Verifiable 'proof of consciousness' will be required (third party vouchsafes only).

 

Rcvd the above and would like to submit paper. I suppose you require a Concretion in lieu of conventional Abstract.   For those of us unable to balloon the Atlantic, we will convene at the alternate site, The Smith & Wesson Convention Center and Rifle Range, where participants will be provided with body-armor to fend off people taking pot-shots at their ideas.

Point-of-order questions to the OrgCom:

-  Is Orgone allowed?
-  Also, I thought "poppers" were banned ever since they
    caused hallucinational deaths at several "dance till your
    brains leak" clubs in the 1980's?!
