Wainwright is "published" in the fringe, non-peer reviewed Journal of Cosmology, of which his colleague Chandra Wickramasinghe is the "Executive Editor, Astrobiology Cometary Panspermia"
journalofcosmology.com...
His "independent work" has Wickramasinghe's panspermia all over it.
We know that, Wainwrights work on this IS about Panspermia. Are you saying Wainwright is wrong to experiment on Panspermia? if so, don't tell me, tell Wainwright. Wainwright is also At Sheffield university, that's nothing to do with Chandra, he is at Buckingham, and also Carlisle..he has two professorships.

With the greatest respect to all, my point is not about the truth or otherwise of what we have here, it is crediting the correct person with these findings, and that person is Professor Wainwright and his team, as the independent states.
Professor Chandra Wickramasinghe was part of the research team .
The research was conducted by Professor (Hon. Cardiff and Buckingham Universities) Milton Wainwright from the University of Sheffield, Chris Rose and Alex Baker from the University of Sheffield’s Leonardo Centre for Tribology and Professor Chandra Wickramasinghe Director of the Centre for Astrobiology, University of Buckingham.

I don't know... am I? If so, please quote, as I do not recall posting anything to that effect.
It takes very little in the way of research to find Wainwright's relation to Chandra. Pretending that their work is in no way connected is intellectually dishonest, especially when I have provided you with proof to the contrary.edit on 19-9-2013 by draknoir2 because: (no reason given)
That's different than you saying it was Chandra's team
The group, headed up by astrobiologist Professor Chandra Wickramasinghe, claims the 'seeds of life' have been transported between planets by passing meteors.

Well if you want to get pedantic about it you said he merely did a presentation on the findings which is different to him being in the team
I was basing my statement on the article in the original thread .

So I guess we were both slightly wide of the mark

You provided nothing that wasn't already known, and further you said, "Chandra's Panspermia" it's not Chandra's the idea has been around for a long time, that's not very honest is it? and also that it is Wainwright's team that is stated in the article.

Not known to you, apparently - most likely still isn't, as I highly doubt that you bothered to follow and read the links I provided. Your strenuous attempt at distancing the two despite their well documented corroboration on the topic for the sake of lending more credibility to Wainwright's similar, and equally dubious claims is telling. Not only are you denying your ignorance of their close association, you are ignoring your denial.
"Chandra's Panspermia" claims in no way define the concept... nor are they even marginally accepted by the scientific community.

My apologies guys, I wouldn't of posted this if I had known it had been reported by somebody with a bad reputation.
I'm interested in everything alien, just not savvy enough to know who to believe or not.
Mind my ignorance ATS, this is why I stick to only posting reply'sedit on 19-9-2013 by n00bUK because: (no reason given)
You said, "Chandra's Panspermia". It's not Chandra's, the idea has been around for a long time. That's not very honest is it?
I didn't know if he was right or not. I made an unguarded remark — I said, "But Chandra, if the interstellar material is organic, if that is true, then, there is so much of it that this will be better precursor material for biology than to do it on the earth in Urey-Miller fashion." That was the unguarded remark. That set him off and then he must have looked through hundreds and hundreds of spectra to fit the infrared data among organics.
So I get all these results and now I'm unshiftable. I'm totally unshiftable now because it's sort of religion with me. That is the word of God. ...It's there. It's like the road to Damascus, you know in the Christian Doctrine. Your eyes are opened. And I don't move from then onwards.
