Next it is 'detailed' the recent rejection by moderators at
sci.physics.research of the defense of Juan R. to the direct attack by two authors in the thread about the history of relativity. Javier Bezos and C.L Masse attacked to me, /WHICH violates basic sci.physics.research guidelines/. C.L Masse Oct 17 said "Well, you continue to present irrelevant material. The paternity of relativity doesn't depends on the opinion of other physicists, however great they may be. It depends on the writing of the presumed father. Like physics, history rests on data, not on theories, but there are no new data, whatever the new theories may be." I did several attempts to reply this nonsense, but i was rejected by it is "overly repetitive" by the moderator I.K. Fortunately Harry wrote a reasonable reply therein "I'm quite sure that Juan meant with "new", new in the sense of data-mining, just as a recent archaeological find is "new" but at the same time very old and thus in that sense not new at all. See for example: http://www.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/litse...s/Chapter3.pdf IOW, that last objection is itself completely irrelevant. But for reasons of time, I'll stop trying to avoid that this discussion will end with another misconception." Thanks Harry by your reasonable replies! However, Javier Bezos wrote (Oct 15) "It would be interesting to know the reference to see the context (1955 was an interesting year for several reasons). As it has been shown here repeated times you very often truncate the citations in order to change the true intentions of theirs authors. Read the Preface of the Theory of Relativity where Pauli categorically claims: "Eintein, the creator of the theory of relativity". And please, read the _whole_ Preface since it repeats this claim several times (the last paragraph, for example)." THIS IS A PERSONAL ATTACK (flame), WITHOUT BASIS, TO Juan R. Moreover, the rest of the post regarding Pauli thougths is pure nonsense. Since that J.B is launching unfounded accussation against me, my reply was *********************************** "Javier Bezos wrote: It would be interesting to know the reference to see the context (1955 was an interesting year for several reasons). As it has been shown here repeated times you very often truncate the citations in order to change the true intentions of theirs authors. I already used that quote before in sci.physics.research. The rest of the post is a clear personal attack and violates basic sci.physics.guidelines. However i am happy, because your 'personal attack' may mean that you have no arguments for sustaining your personal -distorted, as was proven here many times- thesis. Of course, i do NOT truncate the citations in order to change the true intentions of their authors, in fact, i copied and posted exactly the quote obtained from preface of reference [11] on http://canonicalscience.blogspot.com...story-of-relat... y-theory.html In page 3 of [11] one can read "Both Einstein and Poincare, took their stand on the preparatory work of H.A. Lorentz, who had already come quite close to the result, without however quite reaching it. In the agreement between the results of the methods followed independently of each other by Einstein and Poincare I discern a deeper significance of a harmony between the mathematical method and analysis by means of conceptual experiments (Gedankenexperimente), which rests on general features of physical experience" (W. Pauli, 1955). What is EXACTLY i wrote in my previous post (and in others here in sci.physics.research). Read the Preface of the Theory of Relativity where Pauli categorically claims: "Eintein, the creator of the theory of relativity". And please, read the _whole_ Preface since it repeats this claim several times (the last paragraph, for example). I already answer this. Read my posts before reply to me!!! I already explained that in 1921 Pauli claimed that Einstein was the father of relativity. BUT, and this is the part that you carefully omit, in posterior years Pauli *changed his mind* and claimed "In the *** agreement *** between the results of the methods followed independently of each other by Einstein and Poincare". Poincare obtained *before Einstein* SR and formulated a pionnering relativistic gravitation in 1905-6. *********************************** My defense against J.B. unfounded accusations was rejected by the moderator P.H: "Unfortunately, the article you posted to sci.physics.research is inappropriate for the newsgroup because this thread has become too repetitive." A new submission was rejected by moderator I.K. "Unfortunately, the article you posted to sci.physics.research is inappropriate for the newsgroup because it is overly repetitive." Then i explained again that Javier Bezos launched an unfounded personal atack against me, violating basic sci.physics.research guidelines: Flames. And rejected again at 9.29 and 9.36 AM overly repetitive? Is not Javier Bezos direct atack to me a violation of basic sci.physics.guidelines. Do i cannot defend me of UNFOUNDED acusations of manipulations of quotes by citing reference from where i got it? Whatever the arguments, this thread has been going in circles and there is no reason to continue it. Also, please be mindful of the moderator's rejections. The alternative is a permanent ban from posting to this group. What? Whatever the arguments? That is even if basic sci.physics.research guidelines are violated. is "The alternative is a permanent ban from posting to this group" some kind of 'menace'? Some additional correspondence in this topic was: "Please read WHY i am writting it. I was unjustily accused of "you very often truncate the citations in order to change the true intentions of theirs authors" by Javier Bezos and therefore if i CANNOT prove that his accusation is unfounded because i post exactly the quote (without truncations) from the source (i am citing) then you would erase Javier bezos post, because is a direct unfounded attack to me person and violate newsgroup guidelines. Juan R. Center for CANONICAL |SCIENCE)" NOTE that IF moderators want close the thread because in their opinion "this thread has been going in circles and there is no reason to continue it" i offered the option of erasing J.B unfounded post. The reply i received to this option was NONE. However, it is difficult to understand that the thread was being 'closed'. In a open letter to i said "I am sorry to say this but this rejection favoures a clear violation of sci.physics.research basic rules. I am not saying that the post was repetitive ot not. I am not claiming continuation for the thread. I am saying that i was personally attacked (violation of point 1 "Personal attacks (i.e. flames)" of SPR guidelines) by Javier Bezos. he said that i had manipulated cites in the past, which is not correct (moreover he offered no data for that!). Moreover, i am offering AGAIN to you two possible aceptable solutions: 1) To aceppt my post where i introduce the reference from where i got the quote. This proves that i do no manipulate the quote, i literally copied it. 2) Elimination (was other alternative i offered to moderators) of Javier Bezos FLAME post. I wonder like at one hand it is argued that "Whatever the arguments, this thread has been going in circles and there is no reason to continue it." Probably this is true (and in that case above point 2 would hold), but then why after of Javier Bezos unaceptable post of Oct 15. They appeared Cl.Massé Oct 17 Cl.Massé Oct 17 Harry Oct 17 Harry Oct 17 harry Oct 19 Cl. Massé Oct 20 Whereas i am unable to explain since (Oct 15) to readers that the quote that Javier Bezos Oct 15 claims to be manipulated, is EXACT. Sincerely, I do not understand this as i do not understand "The alternative is a permanent ban from posting to this group." Really what this mean? Juan R. Center for CANONICAL |SCIENCE)" I continue waiting a formal reply to my plea of either post my reply where i prove that i do NOT truncate the quote, offering the page and reference from where i obtained or -the other option i offered to moderators- the elimination of Javier Bezos unfounded post from the archives of sci.physics.research. If this week, this problem is not satisfactorily solved, then I personally will take all oportune actions until that this unjustice was solved, including the popularization of the unpleasant situation in media.

You are so busy trying to discredit Einstein that you have no time to pursue the truth or simply to read the sources you are citing. Very likely the moderator knew the preface was written in 1956, that you are inventing stories and that you are not interested at all in the history of physics. Further, as of 1921 Pauli already had read the Poincaré's papers or otherwise he would have had telepathic powers, since his papers are cited very often in the book. On the contrary, if instead of repeating over and over again the same error(s) you would have given the reference I was asking for, I'm pretty sure your message would be approved by the moderators, but clearly you just know neither the reference nor the context (very likely you learnt the citation you gave from a paper which, in turn, doesn't give the reference but only when a translation into Russian was published by Nauk). Unlike Harry, who has been polite with interesting posts (which I don't share, but that's another matter), your attitude from the very beggining was, simply, arrogant. And if you would read the answer Harry gave to my post you could have even read the Preface since he gave a link were the preface was reproduced. Which makes your attitude even more arrogant. THIS IS A PERSONAL ATTACK (flame), WITHOUT BASIS, TO Juan R. Moreover, the rest of the post regarding Pauli thougths is pure nonsense. Saying you were lying is not an attack, as clearly you were lying. Now, since you haven't arguments you have decided to begin a crusade against me and the moderators of s.p.r, as if we were the responsible for your mistakes. As we Spaniards say: "La ignorancia es muy atrevida" ("ignorance is very bold") and therefore the only answer is... PLONK Javier ----------------------------- ¿Tu verdad?

It's you who began with attacks. Hum! I do not remember that! Still, to say that an argument is "bold" or any comment "childish" is an attack to either the *argument* or the *commentary* NEWER to the author, who can be an excellent guy :-) You have *not* attacked to arguments or comments, you launched an unfounded accusation against ME, and any posterior attemtp for proving that your accusation was unfounded was rejected by moderators at sci.physics.research until now. [Javier:] "It would be interesting to know the reference to see the context (1955 was an interesting year for several reasons). As it has been shown here repeated times you very often truncate the citations in order to change the true intentions of theirs authors. is FALSE, since I NEWER changed or truncated citations. In fact, the Pauli quote of 1955 was literally copied in bulk and posted by me. Any posterior attempt to submit to sci.physics.research that i obtained the quote from pag 3 of reference [11] and that your personal accusation has not foundation WAS ignored in basis of "this thread has becomed too repetitive". ???? The other option i provided, that of erasing your *unfounded* personal attack was also IGNORED by moderators at sci.physics.research. I see that you continue to maintain your personal accusation without basis, which indicates the kind of guy that you are. If you were a honest man, once you are discovered that i do NOT manipulated truncate or modified the Pauli's quote, you would personally write a new post with a honest rebutal, expressing that Juan R. posted EXACTLY the quote and did NOT manipulate or truncate IT. In its defect, you would personally solicite to the moderators of sci.physics.research the correction or elimination from the archives of your unfounded post. I, at least, would do that in the inverse situation. Read the Preface of the Theory of Relativity where Pauli categorically claims: "Eintein, the creator of the theory of relativity". And please, read the _whole_ Preface since it repeats this claim several times (the last paragraph, for example)." [Juan R.:] I already answer this. Read my posts before reply to me!!!

You are so busy trying to discredit Einstein that you have no time to pursue the truth or simply to read the sources you are citing. Was ALL the preface of the '1956 edition' written in 1956, or only the 'introductory' part explaining the 50th Anniversary of the first papers of Einstein on relativity and some other paragraphs like the aknowledgements to the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton and to the Dr. Gerard Field? What about the letters where Pauli expresed his doubts about the paternity of special relativity? Do not forget that in 1921, Pauli was a young man and that Klein was an fervent admirator of Einstein. That about the quote of 1955 i cited? You said in two occasions -in sci.physics.research and here- Read the Preface of the Theory of Relativity where Pauli categorically claims: "Eintein, the creator of the theory of relativity". And please, read the _whole_ Preface since it repeats this claim several times (the last paragraph, for example)." The LAST paragraph (see the link provided by Harry) http://www.questia.com/PM.qst?a=refr...7419&type=book says (SEE page vi) I gratefully acknowledge the excellent help of the translator, Dr. Gerard Field, of the Department of Mathematical Physics, University of Birmingham. and the previous one is I am grateful to the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton for affording me the opportunity of writing the Supplementary Notes, pp. 207-232, during my stay there early in 1956. And I should like to thank my colleagues at Princeton with whom I discussed many of the problems in these notes. Therefore YOUR Read the Preface of the Theory of Relativity where Pauli categorically claims: "Eintein, the creator of the theory of relativity". And please, read the _whole_ Preface since it repeats this claim several times (the last paragraph, for example)." is WRONG. How would i interpret this in the light of your replies and insistence? I see three possibilities: a) Perhaps you 'truncate citations' for manipulating opinion of readers. b) You did make an error in your post and after repeated it. c) Perhaps you are citing some version of the 1921 monograph. I do not can know if the correct is (b) or (c) therefore i NEWER could take the option (a) as true, specially in an open forum that can be read my many people. However, in my own case in sci.physics.research, you neglected both (b) and (c) possibilites and directly asummed -without objective proof and in fact now discredited by reference [11]- that i "manipulated the quote". ***Which i remark again completely FALSE.*** Very likely the moderator knew the preface was written in 1956, that you are inventing stories and that you are not interested at all in the history of physics. Further, as of 1921 Pauli already had read the Poincaré's papers or otherwise he would have had telepathic powers, since his papers are cited very often in the book. It is clear for anyone who studied Poincaré research in detail that Pauli is not citing *all* relevant papers. The rest of your post is, again, a clear attack to me person. Curiously many authors agree with me thoughts in the history of relativity -they appear cited in the aknowledgements of article i prepared-. One historian -who contacted personally with me- said that my work was balanced. Of course, i did errors -sure- but i did not MANIPULATED quotes. On the contrary, if instead of repeating over and over again the same error(s) you would have given the reference I was asking for, I'm pretty sure your message would be approved by the moderators, but clearly you just know neither the reference nor the context (very likely you learnt the citation you gave from a paper which, in turn, doesn't give the reference but only when a translation into Russian was published by Nauk). I submitted several times to sci.physics.research the correct page and reference from where i OBTAINED the Pauli's quote i cited in sci.physics.research. I explained this several times in my above post where i reproduce e-mails with sci.physics.research moderators. Even if the source i used was wrong, it is PROVED that i do not manipulated or truncate the quote, which WAS your UNFOUNDED accusation. Therefore, in sci.physics.research your unfounded accusation against me remains posted and all my attempts to prove that i do not truncate or manipulate the quote were rejected by administrators, which is clearly an unjustice.

Since after more than a week, the incorrect post by Javier Bezos -claiming manipulation of quotes- has been not eliminated of the thread, and moderators at sci.physics.research rejected any post mine for introducing the reference and page from where I got the Pauli quote -therefore this reference and page proves that i do not manipulated quote, that was unfounded Bezos' claim!- I am obligated to take all public and personal actions on this topic i consider needed, including popularization of the unjustice in the media.

I have had several posts to s.p.r. refused and felt offended.
Because it is a moderated group it gives the impression of being where the serious physics lies. But really it is just where the accepted physics lies, where accepted is based on the moderators beliefs. They are free to do whatever they want. They can refuse you because your theory competes with theirs if they choose. Though the reason will certainly be the ususal crap. It is not the place for free perusal of ideas. But sci.physics is. The only time I post to s.p.r is mistakenly because I do not study what groups a message goes to. So wade through all of the personal attacks and ego trouncing that is par for the human race and find/post some good morsels on sci.physics. Forget about s.p.r. -Tim Juan R. wrote: Since after more than a week, the incorrect post by Javier Bezos -claiming manipulation of quotes- has been not eliminated of the thread, and moderators at sci.physics.research rejected any post mine for introducing the reference and page from where I got the Pauli quote -therefore this reference and page proves that i do not manipulated quote, that was unfounded Bezos' claim!- I am obligated to take all public and personal actions on this topic i consider needed, including popularization of the unjustice in the media.

Thanks Tim, during many time i was forced to 'accept' s.p.r moderators complete ignorance of advanced topics and often they rejected post that they obviously do not understand. Often they appear like undergraduate students. However my claim now is different. It is about unjustice and manipulation of readers. Two guys did personal attack -which a priori is not permited in spr-. Fortunately Harry was able to post a reply to one of the guys, but all my attempts to reply to Javier Bezos were rejected by moderators. The UNJUSTICE was that Bezos argued that i manipulated quotes and that the Pauli quote that i cited had been manipulated by me. The quote showed that Bezos ideas on the thread were wrong and he offered not other argument for his personal attack that his 'belief'... I did an attempt to submit the page and reference from where i obtained the quote, which PROVES that i do not manipulate the quote for changing the true ideas of Pauli -as Javier Bezos claimed-. I simply copied and submited Pauli quote for proving that Bezos is wrong -in fact, none serious historian of science follow him those days-. All my attempts and explaining were rejected by moderators with this thread is overly repetitive. Now any guy reading spr -fortunately are little because there is little useful data- can read Javier Bezos unfounded acussation against me and think that it is true that i manipulated the Pauli quote. BUT IS FALSE. But i do not manipulated the quote, therefore i am taking all actions and popularizing that moderators at sci.physics.research permit both unjustice and personal attack. I already contacted by several news services and with some journals for submiting an open letter. If Javier Bezos was a nice guy once he has discovered from where i obtained the quote, and once he can verify himself that i do NOT manipulate the Pauli quote, he would eliminate his unfounded accusation but he did not. I have had several posts to s.p.r. refused and felt offended. Because it is a moderated group it gives the impression of being where the serious physics lies. But really it is just where the accepted physics lies, where accepted is based on the moderators beliefs. Sincerely, the level of spr is very low. It appears more a site for posting undergraduate queries and purely speculative posts as those of Baez and company. I did not know spr and i began to post some time ago, now i forget spr. Juan R.

Juan R.:
I've come across your post when Googling the newsgroups. This will be my last word except if you stop this flame and rectify. The UNJUSTICE was that Bezos argued that i manipulated quotes and that the Pauli quote that i cited had been manipulated by me. 1) I never claimed you changed or manipulated the quote. NEVER EVER. This is FALSE. (I think you have been influenced by the meaning of the Spanish word "truncar", which has indeed very negative connotations. This word is very similar to the English "truncate", but they are not the same.) 2) Don't blame me by the moderators decision to ban you. I'm not responsible for their decisions. Anyone can see I'm willing to admit an error and to rectify. I'm willing to admit my wording was not very fortunate, but I'll never admit I said something I never said. 3) You have not provided yet a reference to see the context _where Pauli said that_, which is what I was asking for to see the true intentions of him. What we have is just an extract (which by definition implies the original text has been truncated somehow) you have taken literally from a paper and which you have repeated over and over again like a stuck record so that I have almost learnt it by heart. If you don't know where Pauli said that (and _not_ where you took the quote from) or the context just say something like "I took the quote from that paper, but it in turn doesn't give any reference either" instead of digging in with a flame. 4) Go and buy a copy of Pauli's book (it's Dover, therefore it's cheap). Read the Preface, but read as well the notes he wrote in 1956 -- 24 pages where the name of Poincaré doesn't appear at all (on the contrary, he says his original attribution to Schwarzschild and Poincaré of the Lorenzt invariance of the action integral was a historical mistake since it was stablished by Larmor in 1900; see p. 216). I'm just trying to understand the _apparent_ contradiction between your quote and this book and the only way to do that is if I (we) have the proper context and, therefore, the original reference of the quote.

Javier Bezos ha escrito: Juan R.: The UNJUSTICE was that Bezos argued that i manipulated quotes and that the Pauli quote that i cited had been manipulated by me. 1) I never claimed you changed or manipulated the quote. NEVER EVER. This is FALSE. (I think you have been influenced by the meaning of the Spanish word "truncar", which has indeed very negative connotations. This word is very similar to the English "truncate", but they are not the same.) From http://www.allwords.com/word-truncate.html "To cut something, eg a tree, word, piece of writing, etc, so as to shorten it" On my personal dictionary Englisd-Spanish one can read "truncate" = "truncar". Also would cite the dictionary? Perhaps i would remember to our readers the polemic post. Javier Bezos 15 oct 13:02 in sci.physics research thread "Why isn't the mathematician Henri Poincare acknowledged as the true discoverer of special relativity?" wrote "It would be interesting to know the reference to see the context (1955 was an interesting year for several reasons). As it has been shown here repeated times you very often truncate the citations in order to change the true intentions of theirs authors. Read the Preface of the Theory of Relativity where Pauli categorically claims: "Eintein, the creator of the theory of relativity". And please, read the _whole_ Preface since it repeats this claim several times (the last paragraph, for example)." The Pauli quote i cited was: "Both Einstein and Poincare, took their stand on the preparatory work of H.A. Lorentz, who had already come quite close to the result, without however quite reaching it. In the agreement between the results of the methods followed independently of each other by Einstein and Poincare I discern a deeper significance of a harmony between the mathematical method and analysis by means of conceptual experiments (Gedankenexperimente), which rests on general features of physical experience." I do NOT truncate the citation in order to change the true intentions of theirs authors that was your UNFOUNDED acusation. I copied and pasted the EXACT quote i obtained from reference i cited many times. Therefore your claim i truncated the citation in order to change the true intentions of theirs authors WAS an UNFOUNDED acusation. If you are a honest man you would recognize that your acusation was unfounded and you would retire it now once you are verified by yourself i did not truncate anything "in order to change the true intentions of theirs authors". If you do that here now, i will explain in my open letter that you are did a simple mistake but rectified. Therefore i would see no problem with you and the only remaining problem would be with moderators on sci.physics.research who blocked to me from post the page and reference from where i obtained the Pauli quote. 2) Don't blame me by the moderators decision to ban you. I'm not responsible for their decisions. Anyone can see I'm willing to admit an error and to rectify. I'm willing to admit my wording was not very fortunate, but I'll never admit I said something I never said. I am not blaming you by moderators decision. I am just proving that you acusation was unfounded and I am NOT doing you responsible from moderators decision, but obviously you are part of the problem and therefore your name was cited. If you admit that your acusation was unfounded and i simply copied and paste the Pauli quote without truncation for -in your OWN words "in order to change the true intentions of theirs authors" then people would understand -i am sure- that you did an initial error but just corrected it after. There is not problem for doing mistkaes if one correct them. I also make mistakes. 3) You have not provided yet a reference to see the context _where Pauli said that_, which is what I was asking for to see the true intentions of him. What we have is just an extract (which by definition implies the original text has been truncated somehow) you have taken literally from a paper and which you have repeated over and over again like a stuck record so that I have almost learnt it by heart. If you don't know where Pauli said that (and _not_ where you took the quote from) or the context just say something like "I took the quote from that paper, but it in turn doesn't give any reference either" instead of digging in with a flame. I did, i cited the EXACT page and reference from where i obtained the quote. I am not discussing with you if the quote is acurate or not or what was the proper historical context. You EXACTLY claimed that "As it has been shown here repeated times you very often truncate the citations in order to change the true intentions of theirs authors." And i PROVED that i copied and pasted the EXACT quote i obtained from the reference i cited MANY times without truncations. This thread is not about if the quote is correct, incorrect, real, irreal, etc. I COPIED word by word from Logunov article, therefore your accusation was UNFOUNED. That is all! 4) Go and buy a copy of Pauli's book (it's Dover, therefore it's cheap). Read the Preface, but read as well the notes he wrote in 1956 -- 24 pages where the name of Poincaré doesn't appear at all (on the contrary, he says his original attribution to Schwarzschild and Poincaré of the Lorenzt invariance of the action integral was a historical mistake since it was stablished by Larmor in 1900; see p. 216). I'm just trying to understand the _apparent_ contradiction between your quote and this book and the only way to do that is if I (we) have the proper context and, therefore, the original reference of the quote. I already read the preface of Pauli book and also the chapter about history he wrote. I also read some correspondence with Klein where Pauli expressed his doubts about Einstein paternity and Klein who was a fervent admired of Einstein did pressure on Pauli for him changed 'his' view of history and the initial version of the book was newer published. Then Klein was an important guy and remember Pauli was a young man (still without Nobel). Perhaps this can help you to understand why Pauli maintained two versions. He recieved presure for writing that Einstein WAS the father of relativity. Somewhat as last year, Winterberg paper (AGAINST Einstein priority) was rejected by Science without serious arguments (Winterberg explains the polemic of rejection in appendix of paper). Or somewhat as some months ago, Peter Woit received radical presure from string theorists his book critizing string theory was newer published. Etc, Etc. If you rectify your unfounded acusation against me i will forget this unpleasant part of our debate on history of relativity and will send to you a copy of manuscript i am preparing. In that manuscript you are aknowledged because you pointed a previous error mine in spr. However, i will continue my publicitation of moderators unjustice in media and also i will add an apendix on this unpleasant topic in the final version of the manucsript. If you rectify your unfounded accusation, you rectification will be introduced into the appendix. The same if moderators also rectity buy by now they have not formally reply. That is all by my part here. Juan R. Center for CANONICAL |SCIENCE) |

But I've already said: Anyone can see I'm willing to admit an error and to rectify. I'm willing to admit my wording was not very fortunate, but I'll never admit I said something I never said. And I repeat: my wording was not very fortunate -- I was rectifying! But note I haven't said you manipulated the Pauli's _quote_ (as opposed to the _intentions_, something I certainly said thanks to an unfortunate wording) as you are claiming -- now it's up to you to rectify. What I meant is that I'm a very skeptip person and I need to read the originals, particularly when a quote comes from nowhere. Simply, I don't trust a quote without a reference (and the paper afaik doesn't provide it), because the meaning of a sentence can be modified easily by omitting the context (I'm not saying you have done it, I'm just saying that can be done and this is the very reason my wording was unfortunate). And i PROVED that i copied and pasted the EXACT quote i obtained from the reference i cited MANY times without truncations. And again, I've already said: What we have is just an extract (which by definition implies the original text has been truncated somehow) you have taken _literally_ from a paper [italics are new] I've never said you have modified the quote, but if this was not clear enough, I've said here explicitly you copied _literally_ the extract from the paper. It would be stupid from my part to claim the opposite, as that would be clearly false. This thread is not about if the quote is correct, incorrect, real, irreal, etc. OK. If you rectify your unfounded acusation against me i will forget this unpleasant part of our debate on history of relativity and will send to you a copy of manuscript i am preparing. Not necessary, thanks. And I have to agree this part of our debate has been unpleasant particularly as it was based on words and misunderstandings and not on ideas. I'm not interested at all in arguing -- to me it's a waste of time. I've learnt several things from the (often, but not always) interesting thread about Einstein and Poincaré, but when threads are sooo long unfortunate wordings are not rare. A simple request to rectify would have been enough and I hope you'll admit your reaction in this group has been somewhat excessive, perhaps because you were very upset for the rejection of your post in s.p.r. (which explains why in turn my first reaction was also excessive). I'm very interested in History of Physics and right now I'm reading two books: A History of Mechanics by R. Dugas, and particularly L'evolution de la matiére by Gustave Le Bon (in a translation into Spanish published long ago in Mexico), a French who proposed, a few years before Einstein, that energy in the Sun comes from the "dissociation" of matter and that therefore atoms are a fabulous reserve of energy (an idea Poincaré rejected in a letter to Le Bon on the grounds that atoms would be then very unstable). The Le Bon's book is very interesting to know the historical context and it itself is of historical interest. And finally, why did I say 1955 was an interesting year? Because 1954 saw the centenary of the birth of Poincaré and many people were still susprised (or even shocked) for the fact Poincaré's papers contained several formulae which are very similar (or even exactly the same) to those of Einstein. That can be seen, for example, in the Note II of A History of Mechanics. Javier ----------------------------- http://www.texytipografia.com |
