Worked with Factor Analysis for three decades"? Jimminy, if that's
the truth you sure are a rare bird.
Just to show you how rare, I've been discussing my theory on Usenet
for a year, and I have talked to hundreds of people.. maybe a
thousand.. and only 3 of them had ever had any experience with
Factor Analysis. 3 out of a 1000..!!
Of course, there are people on some of the Psychology NG's
who know what it is, but Psychologists won't even talk to anyone
who uses the world "God" you know. Amazingly Physicists know
almost nothing about it because Physics as you know is not generally
a Statistical science. Interestingly, of course Quantum Mechanics
is entirely a Statistical science, and it turns out that Quantum
Mechanics is nothing but Factor Analysis in an infinite dimensional
Factor Space (called a Hilbert space). All their "correlation
matrices" are in fact infinite, and the eigenvalues are generally
the energy of the system, and the eigenvectors are called
"Wavefunctions". At any rate, Factor analysis involves FINITE
VECTOR SPACES, and because of that, even Quantum Mechanics buffs
are unfamiliar with it.
Interestingly, there is also a connection to General Relativity,
because TENSORS are somewhat related to MATRICES. In fact, you find
a lot of similarities, such as:
GENERAL RELATIVITY PSYCHOMETRY (F.A.)
Contravarient components = Factor Structure Loadings
Covarient components = Factor pattern Loadings
"curvature" of the metric = Obliquness of the corr. matrix
It is obvious from this that a physicist can easily understand
Factor Analysis if he has to, and I certainly found it to be
a cakewalk.
Nevertheless, most physicists know nothing about Psychology
and therefore nothing about Psychometry (IQ and Personality tests),
and they know next to nothing about "God".
In fact, it is a very unusual individual who would be an
expert in Physics, an expert in Psychometry and Factor Analysis,
and an expert in Divinity all at the same time. That's of
course what I am, how I discovered the scientific proof
of God, and why no one can talk to me.
Of the 3 criteria necessary to comprehend the scientific proof
of God:
1. General Physics, including Relativity
2. Psychometry including Factor Analysis
3. Divinity
It is hard to say just exactly which one is the most necessary.
There is the argument that Physics would be the most necessary,
because a Physicist could learn Factor Analysis in a few hours
and perhaps grasp Psychometry in a few days (if he wanted to),
and.... that he could "learn divinity backwards" from the fact that
he could use Physics and Psychometry to figure out what God was,
and then he would ipso facto know what Divinity was all about.
So far I have failed to find any physicist who was interested in
doing so.
At any rate, mostly what I run into is someone who might be
a PhD in Physics, but is uninterested in either Psychometry or
God. Then there are hoards of PhD's in biology and psychology
and a million other things who neither have any idea what God
is, and certainly no ability in Physics. These are the incompetents
who climb on the newsgroups and start calling me names like
"Troll, crank, moron, blah, blah, blah..). point is, they are
simply not strong enough scientifically to handle anything as
big as a scientific proof of God, they'd probably faint of an
acoplectic fit if they ever figured it out.
Consequently, me, a physicist, is presently the only one in
the world who actually KNOWS that a scientific proof of God
has been discovered.
Finally, you come to the political element... say the Creationists
or Fundamentalists, even the 700 Club and people like that.
UNLIKE SCIENTISTS these people have enough worldly experience and
social ability, to the point where they ARE NOT AFRAID OF A
SCIENTIFIC PROOF OF GOD, even if they can't understand it, whereas
the SCIENTIST may be able to understand it but he is so afraid
of the public he refuses to even look at it, much less face it.
In the end then, as I see it, it is probably going to be the
RELIGIOUS ACTIVISTS who are going to first recognize the discovery
of the scientific proof of God, simply because they have the nerve
to stand up to the weak kneed scientific establishment, and
the volatile public, and be unafraid of it.
There is for instance, VERY LITTLE POSSIBILITY that your expertise
in Factor Analysis is worth a hill of beans when it comes to
evaluating or delivering the scientific proof of God. It takes
either GENIUS (physicist) or FAITH (religionist) and apparently
you don't qualify in either department.

The mind is like a telescope mad with clear-rubber lenses. If
someone squeezed the telescope while you were looking through
it and you didn't know it, the world would mysteriously get bigger
and smaller and you might call it an "act of God". A scientist
would measure the diameter of the lens, compute the CURVATURE of
the lens, and explain this "God" as variable magnification.
In the case of the brain, the "clear-rubber" lens is the human brain,
and the "squeezing" is the variable growth of the brain called
the Secular Trend. Variable brain growth makes the world look bigger
and smaller, and makes it go slower or faster. In this case the
scientist measures IQ, and Personality (E,N,P) of the individual,
(which is a measure of how fast and how big the world looks to you)
and from that he computes the CURVATURE of Psychometric Space, which
this time, REALLY DOES TURN OUT TO BE WHAT WE CALL "GOD".

No it's worse than that, "God" is MASS REALITY, not
mass delusion.
