I’m beginning to feel like a broken record, but again all Blake et al. show us are (third order polynomic? – they don’t tell) regressions and no data whatsoever. Read the rest of this entry »

I think the current retraction mania is getting silly and way over the top. Science is about truth, reproducibility and the ascertaining of facts. Of course ethical rules are important and violating them has to be punished, but retracting a valid and valuable result for purely formal reasons is to the detriment of all.

Dibner, Perelis, and Mukherji strongly suggest that a life style of skipping breakfast and eating late at night may be an important contributor to obesity, diabetes and other health disorders. It might be a good idea, though hard to achieve in practice, only to eat during the time of daylight.

The #1 question I receive – several times a day – is this: “Shmuel, what can we do to solve the problem of Arab terror in Israel?” I certainly understand why people ask this question since almost every day, knife attacks are perpetrated across the country. Just this week, Jews were stabbed in Rishon LeZion and Netanya, adding these cities to the sad list of cities in which Read the rest of this entry »

Journalist Shalom Yerushalmi wrote that the current ‘Knife Intifada’ broke out because of me. Since the assassination attempt on Rabbi Yehudah Glick a year ago, PM Netanyah, taking his directive from the Muslim wakf, prohibits me from visiting the Temple Mount. So the claim that a year after I was personally exiled from the Mount, the Arabs have suddenly remembered Feiglin – and because of him, have started to slaughter Jews in the streets – sounds absurd.
