What more proof do you need? And this guy is regarded as one of the great minds of the 20th Century? I don't think so. The guy should have written some Star Trek episodes. Would have made a fortune! ![]() Time Traveller beaming down to Planet Einstein |

Dear Time Traveller:

I don't think so. Your cover is blown. If you are from the future, then the last sentence should read "I know better." Of course even this would be untrue, since you are talking to a 21st century audience, and Einstein is considered one of the great minds of the 20th century. David A. Smith |

Smith David, I am not a time traveller. That was a silly joke. If I were a time traveller I would be wooing Marilyn Monroe right now or something equally productive. ![]() As for Einstein, I don't think he was as great a mind as history does accord. I'm not saying he wasn't intelligent or that had a closed-mind (far from it) but his theory of relativity undermines his other achievements. His E=MC2 equation may hold some validity in the science world, although I remain unconvinced coming up with some arbitrary value of energy is that significant. Had Einstein said energy and mass are equal to the speed of light to the power of three (and not two) the results would be always be the same. The numbers would be increased (because we have increased the value of C2), but the principle is the same. As I wrote in another thread, how can we place definite values on the energy of atoms? It's a fairly subjective claim to make. Is there absolute proof that mass = energy x speed of light(2)? Is that a fact of nature? You mustn't forget we place arbitrary units of measurement on *everything*, eg: a foot is 12 inches. These are *man-made* rules. One foot does not have to be 12 inches. It's not defined by nature. I see E=MC2 as no different. However, I accept that scientists have drawn upon his conclusions and see it as some model of atomic measurement. As for his relativity theory, well, without wishing to be unkind to a deceased nobel prize winner, it is the stuff of crackpot inventors and sci-fi writers. All you need to do is fold time and space and we can have wormholes says Einstein. I'll bring my spade and start digging, Al! Time Traveller |

Time Traveller I invited you to see my post "E=Mc^2, Unit Systems and the Natural Unit" (2-Feb-04), specially my response to Bilge 3-Feb-04 (I do not know why it is not yet in the thread). You will find there my approach about the topic you are talking here about the equation E=Mc^2 and natural or men-made things. I am sure it will be of your interest. It includes how to obtain quantitative relations among physical magnitudes BEFORE the development of the corresponding physical theories, the E=Mc^2 one is put as an example among others. No, a time travel from the future to the present is not involved! RVHG P.D. I forgot to say you that I know how to place definite values on the energy of atoms (or any other entity). |
