I guess I expected equations.
Silly me. |

But if you refuse to discuss if the base mathematical model for our universe should be 4d (x,y,z,t) or 3d with motion,(x,y,z) with (x,y,z)= f(t); because you can't see the difference, you should not be tampering with equations at all. Einstein thought first, his famous gedanken experiments, and then cast equations later. But, you are modern, and can do it the other way around. Or even better, you do not have to think at all. This is the reason that if the matter goes beyond the pavlov-trained rules of mathematics, you are suddenly clueless. Silly you, indeed. Hayek. |

Jim Jastrzebski, sculptor and usenet performance artist, wrote:
The famous John Baez's statement [authorized quote, the dramatic pause in the middle is his]: "It is always surprising when it happens, but sometimes to learn more about the world we must stop asking certain questions... ... namely, those based on false assumptions." Hopefully this lesson with "accelerating expansion" + idiots cosmologists won't be lost on future generations, who might learn by it that one should never stop asking questions regardless of assumptions (all assumptions are false most of the time anyway, and when they're not we don't know that so what John Baez says means: "never ask questions, just memorize the equations"). Jim Jastrzebski is a liar. Click this link to see for yourself. http://groups.google.com/groups?selm...ws.state.mn.us You can also click on the link on that page to the original article where Baez wrote those words. ---Tim Shuba--- |

Jim Jatrzebski wondered:
Did you mean that Jim quoted John Baez exactly despite being a liar and a sculptor and usenet performance artist? I meant to document that Jim is a liar, and I did. Or you wanted to make some other point but you forgot to specify it? Not at all. I didn't forget a thing. ---Tim Shuba--- |

shuba Message-id: Jim Jatrzebski wondered: [ tim.shuba-84D581.19153718072003%40corp.supernews.com ] Did you mean that Jim quoted John Baez exactly despite being a liar and a sculptor and usenet performance artist? I meant to document that Jim is a liar, and I did. But since the quote is exactly as John Baez wrote it in both places (it was cut and pasted) what is actually the lie? The part you purposefully cut out, falsely asserting that Baez means "never ask questions, just memorize the equations". Your attacks on Baez (and others who have shown your understanding of energy to be seriously flawed) are spiteful and pathetic. ---Tim Shuba--- |

Jim wrote:
"Never ask questions, just memorize the equations" is just a translation to plain English for people who have problems with understanding complex phrases. Of course you may argue whether it is a proper translation. You might be right, and so you could present a better translation. I did. I gave a link to Baez' exact clarification. Your "translation" is an obvious, gratuitous distortion of his words and intention. There was also nothing complex about the phrasing used in the first place. You apparently just didn't like it because it highlighted your own failure to grasp the concept of energy conservation in GR. You wrote and tried to publish a paper and it was roundly trashed, ironically even by those referenced in the paper. Get over it. Quit dwelling on the failures of your past. I don't attack John Baez but I'm trying to make his ideas known to as wide audience as possible since I think that those ideas are worth of being known. Baez is quite capable of expressing his own ideas. He even co-authored a FAQ page dedicated to energy conservation in GR, complete with references. I happen not to be interested in the rationalizations of Jastrzebski for his spiteful and obnoxious behavior toward Baez. ---Tim Shuba--- |
