Cannot agree more!

Apparently you missed the fact that Uncle Al did not answer the question
(he responded with an incoherent spew of jargon indistinguishable from
nonsense).

Insults from Uncle Al are of no account.


I've never understood why Uncle Al seems to be so respected by members
of the sci.physics.* newsgroups. His ability to spew out superficially
impressive jargon fails to hide the fact that he is really not any
sort
of expert in relativity. Chemistry, yes, especially organic
chemistry...
but physics??? He lost any residual respect I might have had for him
when he started the "Toodling near lightspeed - NOT!" thread:
http://groups.google.com/group/sci.p...eddb852dcab01e

I thought he was joking about molecules racemizing near the speed of
light, but it turned out that he was dead serious.

The only explanation that I've been able to come up with, is some sort
of belief that "the enemy of my enemy is my friend."

The way that Uncle Al tears into the anti-relativity crackpots can
indeed be amusing.

So yes, Uncle Al is "on the right side." The question is, do we WANT
him on our side? Personally, I'd rather not.
