Realizing that Foucaults pendulum would rotate against the stars and stay fixed at the black hole, when placed sufficiently nearby, I was willing to concede that GR was not an absolute theory after all. But then it dawned on me that for flat spacetime, a prerequisite for SR, it still *IS* an *absolute* theory. Catch 22 for SR.

Hayek, the village idiot,

Isn't it about time for you to get that brain transplant so that your mental status is more on par with organisms in the animal kingdom? |

Perhaps you could try writing in a language with logical structure. |

Hayek, who lacks enough imagination to do anything but quote text
which doesn't agree with him, Bilge wrote: Sorry. Gibberish isn't my first languange. Perhaps you could try writing in a language with logical structure. On 2nd reading. Perhaps you should try using your "superior" method and explain time, a clock, relativity , and QM. Reread my post to regarding coupling constants and intrinsic time scales. "As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain, as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality." --Albert Einstein Einstein Quote 1908 : "Ever since the Mathematicians got their hands on relativity I no longer understand it" Eintein did not say that meaningless, repetitive droning about ``inertia meters'' had more to do with reality than mathematics and he certainly never said that your gibberish about ``inertia meters'' makes more sense than relativity in the hands of mathematicians. Imagination is more important than knowledge. -- Albert Einstein So, does that mean you think lewis carroll was a great contributor to science or as is the usual case, you've deliberately misconstrued the meaning of some quoted text to suit your agenda and you lack the imagination to anything but misconstrue quoted text? And take a lesson from Heisenberg : "The physicist may be satisfied when he has the mathematical scheme and knows how to use for the interpretation of the experiments. But he has to speak about his results also to nonÐphysicists who will not be satisfied unless some explanation is given in plain language. Even for the physicist the description in plain language will be the criterion of the degree of understanding that has been reached. --Werner Heisenberg in Physics and Philosophy So according to Heisenberg, if you can describe it in Gibberish, you truly understand it. Where did heisenberg say anything about gibberish? He clearly says, ``to nonphysicists who will not be satisfied unless some explanation is given in plain language''. He certainly does not say that every nonphysicist will like the plain language explanation and he most certainly did not suggest that one should try to satisfy a crackpot by giving them an explanation in gibberish. |
