Most authors, at least in physics and mathematics, do not have to worry about retraction; because most authors are not hounded relentlessly by dogmatic Bell-believers, for over a decade.

I should add that my latest paper refuting Bell's theorem that is soon to be published in a reputed peer-reviewed journal will be immune to retraction. As some readers of this forum know, there have been persistent attempts to retract at least three of my published refutations of Bell's theorem over the past decade. But once published, the latest paper, soon to be published, will be immune to retraction. Indeed, that was one of my criteria for selecting the journal where it will be published. It also addresses all unfounded criticisms of my local model in detail.

I'm afraid that Dr Christian's latest paper may be immune to retraction, but this doesn't make it immune to being wrong! Nor does it prevent publication by others of a refutation.

As long as the author is secretive as to the content, we wait on tenterhooks to see what he has come with this time. I hope it will be available before our workshop and symposium.

I heard on the grapevine that the RSOS editors have received new reviews on JJ Christian's RSOS paper, following their publication of an expression of concern. I should hope that the author will be (or already was) the first to know their content.

It should be mentioned that the once reputable journal IJTP also published, after peer review, an IJTP paper by myself refuting the IJTP paper of dr. Christian. I am surprised that they did not publish a response by the author. He certainly posted a response on arXiv. It seems they did not wish to arouse any controversy.

This paper by Richard D. Gill contains numerous mathematical and conceptual mistakes, which I have exposed in this paper: https://www.academia.edu/38423874/Refut ... ls_Theorem

As I recall, IJTP editors were bullied into publishing Gill's erroneous paper after months of harassing both me online and the editors of IJTP off-line. Indeed, that was the first of my papers which was attacked by Gill with the intention of having it retracted. But the editor of IJTP, the late Prof. David Finkelstein, had refused to retract my paper despite huge political pressure.

Keep in mind that the workshop and symposium is intended to remove all this debate from the Internet, and rather have it in person in a collegial environment which may help to resolve these long-standing disputes.

The same holds for Dr. Bell's papers, which are immune to retractions because of sociology and politics, but have been repeatedly shown to be wrong: https://arxiv.org/abs/1704.02876.

Yes, this back and forth on the forum doesn't accomplish anything. Please refrain from doing it.

Ok, I heard that they had difficulties recruiting reviewers that would even take the job. But anyway the original five reviews should suffice for the editorial board to see that the acceptance was a mistake.

On the contrary, the erroneous arguments by the original five reviewers and by the new reviewer are sufficient for anyone to see that the acceptance of my paper was completely justified.

The acceptance of Bell's paper by the dubious journal "Physics" that died after just one issue is another matter. Bell's erroneous paper would not have been accepted by any reputed journal.

OK guys, let's get back on topic here by discussing some actual content details of the paper.

I'm confused. Isn't that what has been happening, i.e., discussion of the reviewer's criticisms of the paper?

Sorry, but I don't see any actual detail's from reviewer's comments thus no real discussion.

That seems fair and reasonable. The secretive RSOS "investigation" impugning JC has gone on too long.

The RSOS investigation was triggered by nine months of daily attacks on my paper by Richard D. Gill. But their investigation has revealed that Gill's attacks were wrong and often ludicrous.

They need to wrap up the "investigation" and publish the results, and then retract the expression of concern.

I'm temporarily locking this thread since there is no discussion of the actual physics of the paper happening.

I have very good sociological and political reasons to remain secretive about the contents and publication details of my upcoming paper. All will be revealed once the paper appears in print.

My condition for attending the symposium was that Gill will not take any action aimed at having my published papers on the subject retracted. In fact, since the "truce agreement" Gill has taken several actions that violate the truce agreement. Under the circumstances, I am no longer bound by the "truce agreement" and reserve my right to not attend the planned symposium.

I guess some people just can't help themselves. ??? I figured the truce would never last. And I doubt any substantial progress would be made at the symposium anyways. Bell fans always have some kind of excuse not to see the truth.

The role of a mediator is to move the parties to, hopefully, make the right decisions and take the right actions, and narrow the range of their disputes. But no amount of diplomacy can force the parties to do so.

All I can do at this point is urge Richard to continue forward with planning and securing support for the workshop / symposium irrespective of what decisions Joy may make once the Lorentz Center has (hopefully) signed on, because of the importance of the underlying science. And urge Joy to keep his options open to whatever the state of affairs may be several months or more down the road once it is seen how these organization efforts develop and unfold, because of the extensive efforts he has undertaken over many years to study this science. The scientific enterprise must always come before any one individual.
