I always am rather amused when people want us scientists to explain our work to them in detail. I would have difficulty explaining what I did for work all my life to third year University science students. They just do not have the tools or basic knowledge to fully comprehend. A hand waving type explanation does not cover the depth let alone the breadth of cutting edge research. Three years working in the lab with at least an MSc and you might pick up a rudimentary knowledge to at least start to understand some of what is going on.

How many people here can tell me how their mobile phone works, remote control for any appliance, jet airliner etc etc and last but not least the computer you are reading this thread on. Your explanation should be good enough to build a working example to someone who has never seen one before. One intelligent layman to another and you would both be struggling to get to a basic diagram let alone a real solution.

The vast majority of members of our modern society do not have a clue how even everyday stuff works. They all take it for granted and then have the nerve to say that science is boring!

I have even been told by young people that I was just jealous because I did not have computers and mobile phones when I was a teenager like them. I simply ask them who invented all these devices your generation takes for granted. They are shocked when I tell them it was our generation wot did it.

Science is not obvious by applying common sense as most of science is counterintuitive.

This is alright for vacuous stuff like philosophy and religion as it is just circular arguments of made up stuff to prove other made up stuff by applying logic and common sense to argue what is total nonsense. It is all delusion posing as logical thought.

All that matters is more real knowledge backed up by real experiments!

As for the results or inferences of this experiment to simulate an event horizon by cunning manipulation of photons and matter I would like to see some sort of control experiment. Are these photons produced in the system when the 'simulated event horizon' is not there?

Anyone remember M rays?
