Clark Campaigns at Light Speed
By Brian McWilliams 02:00 AM Sep. 30, 2003 PT NEW CASTLE, New Hampshire -- Wesley Clark: Rhodes scholar, four-star general, NATO commander, futurist? "I still believe in e=mc˛, but I can't believe that in all of human history, we'll never ever be able to go beyond the speed of light to reach where we want to go," said Clark. "I happen to believe that mankind can do it." http://www.wired.com/news/politics/0,1283,60629,00.html Bob Clark (no relation.) |

Negative temps kelvin are trivially achieved in lasing media, MRI, NMR, EPR, adiabatic demagnetization of paramagnetic salts... One merely goes the long way around, past +infinity to -infinity and back to the other side. Finessing relativity with the same ploy is left as an exercise for the alert reader. Metric theories of gravitation postulate the Equivalence Principle (all bodies fall identically in vacuum) and spacetime curvature immediately follows. Affine theories of gravitation start with spacetime torsion and can violate the EP with impunity. All one need do is find two lumnps that fall differently in vacuum, and General Relativity is dog meat. Folks have been looking for 400+ years, now sensitive to one part in two trillion relative deviation difference/average. Everything falls identically within experimental error. There is only one physical property that has never been examined for EP violation, http://www.mazepath.com/uncleal/eotvos.htm (Do something naughty to physics) Wesley Clark has adopted the same position as a Catholic priest bleating about Christ's return: Pay now and wait.

Just because strict causality may not exist does not mean that phenomena can't affect the chance that something will happen. |

If you use the (say) planet that the bodies are falling toward, in separate tests, then the larger bodies will actually fall faster because the planet falls toward them with an acceleration proportional to the bodies' masses. Not that we're about to be able to measure that. In fact, this might be where quantization comes in -- if the quantum of required force is not reached, perhaps the planet will not move. Eric |

In other words, you don't have to postulate it, it's a result of the standard model laws of physics. If another law or method was discovered which was different, then causality regarding that law or method's effects might or might not be preserved. That it is preserved for all known physical interactions says that known standard model physics is 'right' for what we're seeing, but that doesn't mean that it's all there ever could be in terms of phenomena. -george william herbert |

Cut the strings off the pupet and all that is let is one dumbass
,,a,,clark. Is this the same asshole that got fired for trying to start a war with russia ?? When the GEN gets canned due to conduct matters it means the idiot is off his rocker. But thanks for the suport. Clark should make a fine doorstop at the va some day . Just give em a kick when you walk by. |
