There has been some talk of Peter Lynds paper, Time
and Classical and Quantum Mechanics: Indeterminacy
vs. Discontinuity,
http://doc.cern.ch//archive/electron...t-2003-045.pdf
on sci.physics.

The poster Undeniable has posted links to
http://www.prweb.com/releases/2003/8/prweb75393.htm ,
a press release about a Greek researcher of Zeno's
Paradoxes displeasure with Lynds paper. Along with
being annoyed at how little information was in the
press release I wondered what kind of living the Greek
made. Today Undeniable also posted a link to the
paper by the Greek,
http://www.geocities.com/eleatis/index.htm .
In this the premise is made that since Lynds says that
continuity mandates indeterminacy then the reverse
must also be true. He says that since Lynds does not
prove that if you have an indeterminate value for
something it must mandate continuity he must be wrong.
At first I thought the paper was stupid but then noticed
the address of the paper and the source of the press
release. There is no source for the press release and
the paper is on Geocities. Both appear to be bogus.

What concerns me is that in the thread, Is Peter Lynx
Finally a Hoax, the first poster, who has a similar signature
to the reply by Undeniable, refers to
http://ciencia.astroseti.org/astrofisica/lyndsfake.php .
I am not familiar with php and my system started uploading
almost as fast as it was downloading when I clicked on it.
I assume that my browser is just not configured for it but
am suspicious of the source. Can anyone tell me what this is?

And I recommend the paper by Lynds to anyone interested
in questions like; What is time?

Well, it works just fine with MS IE6.0. I have read it and it does not
seem to be related to Undeniable.

I like your hoax hoax. If you like Lynds' article, you will probably like
Carlo Rovelli's article "Quantum spacetime: what do we know?" It is
quite fascinating.
