Why do you think I watch Uncle Al's progress with more than idle
interest?

The only direction Al progresses is further up his arse.

No, you goddamn fool.

Why do you think it is that I would think Uncle Al has something
promising and you do not? There is no physicist cabal going on here,
Al is an organic chemist, im training to be a physicist. My interest
in experiments is always merit-based.

My advice is to give up Geese. You don't have the attitude or aptitude.


Attitude : Yes.
Aptitude : Most likely. Won't know till I get there.


I've already been and done it so I know I have both. That is also quite evident
from my posts.. eh?


Your posts indicate that you are stupid. I would be embarassed to have
you as a professor. I have had professors that I don't think belong in
the classroom, but I have never had a professor I was genuinely
embarassed to have.

Pick any one of my physics undergrad classmates, they are all smarter
than you.

So Henri, where did you go to school?



At any rate, you didn't answer my question. Why is it that I think Al
has something interesting and you don't? If either of you are right,
physics gets broken in interesting ways. Al moreso than you, because
if Al is right physics is broken in a way that it has never been
broken before.

What the **** is a chemist doing on a physics group, anyway?


Ask him, not me.


What is Al trying to prove? I've forgotten.


Ask him, not me.







Unfortunately, I highly doubt Androcles has came up with anything of
worth. He appears to have no analytical ability.

Bounce light off the moon from a moving satellite.
What is wrong with that?

It is rather unfeasible. Returned photons to a stationary ground
target are on the order of photons per second.

Geese, it has already been done.


Then there is no reason to do it again. Go read the reference and stop
proposing a repeat experiment.


It isn't the same experiment, goose.


http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=e...ing.google.com

Then don't say that it is.



My point was that if its only photons per second on a ground target,
do you really think it would be that easy to task 2 sattelites to do
that in orbit?


No harder than 'star wars'. The moon is a pretty big target.


Star wars didn't work.

- and the mirror will reflect back in exactly the incident direction.


You have no clue. None at all.




Please geese, don't try to behave like a physicist. You really ARE hopeless.


What do you know about being a physicist, Henri? Seriously...

When was the last time you had enough intellectual curiosity to open a
book that wasn't required for job or school?


Actually, goose, I have just written a book for school kids and interested
laypeople called "what exactly IS Physics?".
Send me $10 and I'll Email it to you..


http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=e...ing.google.com

*snicker* Have you gotten a publisher? Please don't diminish my
respect for Austrailia as a 1st world nation.

At any rate, you didn't answer my question. You do not strike me as
the type who reads much.





Please tell us why it should not discriminate between light traveling at c+v
and c-v.

You would need a companion sattelite or have it bounce to a ground
target. Have fun setting that one up.

I suggested the best setup is to use two geo-stationary satellites on opposite
sides of the Earth.
That is not difficult.


Then arrange to have the experiment done. I won't try to stop you.
Since you have obviously put much thought into this, I won't even
question your statement of 'not difficult'.

Oh, right. Others do the work for you, it is merely your 'job' to
provide the ideas.


I cannot do it Geese. Not enough money. I'll have to ask the Chinese.


Do let us know if your proposal isn't laughed at.





Feel free to try though. I would be the last one to stop you from
actually doing an experiment, the ball *is* in your court. I have
nothing to gain for keeping special and general relativity.

You haven't.. nor does physics, in general


Good...you see that, at least. So why keep it? Math is hard, as you
know. GR math is harder. Differential Geometry for me this spring


GR maths is impossible because it is analogous to earth centrism. It tries to
create a geometry that will maintain a constant c under all circumstances.
Light speed is c relative to its source but nothing else. Light speed will also
change in a gravity field like matter does.

GR is plainly an exercise in sheer stupidity.
.....all it ever does is make a lot of pseudo scientists feel very smug.


OOooh. I think I see your problem with GR - you couldn't understand
the math.

Tell me Henri, how long ago was it when you last tried to understand
GR? Did you ever read the little box about "ict" in Misner, Thorne,
and Wheeler that I pointed out to you?

Do you even read at all? Or is your brain a 1-way communications
device?




In fact,
if Newtonian kinematics reigned supreme the math would be much easier.
GR is rather difficult to learn inbetween my course load right now

Of course GR is difficult. So is Earth centrism.


Earth centerism is rather easy, but wrong.


I suppose you are a flat-earther, eh geese?


http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=e...ing.google.com

You are unable to distinguish between the understanding of an idea and
belief in an idea. I understand the idea, but I do not believe in it.
Is this another case of you being unable to distinguish between
fantasy and reality?




Einstein concocted a geometry that would make light speed always equal c. Do
you think that is (1) easy?, (2) an indication that he was insane?


1) No. Math is hard, especially differential geometry. Do you know how
hard differential geometry is? No, you don't. I suspect you have never
even taken a 300 level math class [read: linear algebra and up].


I always came top in geometry. It's my speciality.


Im talking about things like manifolds and vector spaces, not
highschool geometry.

Have you ever passed linear algebra?



2) No. It fits experimental evidence - despite your fits to the
contrary.


Bull!!!


http://relativity.livingreviews.org/...1-4/index.html

Mossbauer effect.
Gravitational Lensing. Eddington's expedition, along with strong
and weak lensing.
Black holes.
Decay of pulsar orbits.

This is why you are not a scientist. Your set view of the world
diverges from how it actually happens to be when it is put against
experiment.




SR is nothing but a disguised form of aether theory. We know that Geese. ...and
we also know there is no aether.

Wrong. SR needs no aether nor does it postulate aether.

SR does not need an aether because Einstein devised his clock synching method
to make is superfluous.

But SR breaks down when it tries to explain how light travels through space.


That is because it doesn't explain 'how' or 'why'. Very good Henri,
you realise what SR can't do.


Geese, I'll tell you a secret, RELATIVITY EXPLAINS NOTHING!


http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=e...ing.google.com

So what if it "explains" nothing? It is a good enough model. Everyone
with some education in modern physics knows that Relativity isn't the
theory of everything, we have some way to go. But until there is an
empirical contradiction within the theory or a contradiction with
experiment it will stand.





No reason, other than it does. Why do you continue to be fixated on
questions of "why" ? I acknowledge their use - only when they can be
answered.

Geese, do you have any proof that all light travels through completely empty
space at the same speed.


References have been provided for you time and again. I will not do
your research for you. Entering a few choice words into google will
get you what you need. I assume you live within a decent distance of a
university library.

If so, please explain the mechanism.


I can't. That is just how the universe is.


Is what?
SR has no answer to the question. It breaks down.


Again, so what if it doesn't? Theories don't have to answer the "Why?"
question.






Which one changes speed, Geese?

Neither.

Ah, more fairies at work!


The universe is not Newtonian, haven't you noticed? There are no
faeries!


I know that. ..but SRians don't


Mossbauer effect, Compton effect. Go ahead, explain them using your
"c+v" theory of light.

Go ahead, explain how your theory is different from Newtonian
kinematics.

Go ahead, keep using the word 'SRians' like it is an insult - noone
cares except for those who are too inept to understand the theory.

Tell me Henri, what progress have you made regarding any of the
experiments that you and Androcles have proposed?

Androcles himself has said [*snicker*] that some can be done on small
scale. Optical benches aren't expensive.

Tell me Henri, are you yet finished with using your theory
defensively? If it is so goddamn revolutionary it should predict
something novel and henseforth undiscovered. Or is it true when I say
you lack the intellectual curiosity required to use your theory in a
way that isn't purely directed towards attacking relativity - a theory
you do not appear to be capable of understanding?

When I was doing by degree I must admit I had good professors but that
changed for my Masters. Unfortunately some lecturers thought their job was
to set these assignment questions that consisted of 5 trivial ones you could
knock off in 30 minutes and one bugger of a thing that it took me weeks or
months to solve. I went to see the lecturer about that and he said - oh we
need something to challenge the good students - these are questions I had
difficulty with (and he had a Phd) - you really have done something if you
can solve it. Since I was also working full time I did a rethink and
decided to drop my Masters.

I actually found that comment rather amusing. Henri keeps on harping about
his ballistic theory which implies particles; yet the resolution of the wave
particle duality requires QM and Hilbert spaces. I believe you are correct,
it is highly doubtful he even understands basic linear algebra, so the idea
of an infinite dimensional space would blow his mind.

Thanks
Bill

Geese, there is nothing smart about learning what is written in a book, just to
pass an exam. Any fool can do that...and plenty do. Many 'extremist 'yes men'
often end up with PhDs even though they have no creative ability whatsoever.

Being smart requires an ability to reason beyond what one has been taught.

Geese, when I see stupidiy in the first paragraph, I dont bother to read any
further. Life is too short to waste time on nonsense.

I accept that light increases speed when falling down a gravity field just like
anything else. The maths is very simple then. no 'curved space' is required.
(curved in what, geese?)


Do you even read at all? Or is your brain a 1-way communications
device?


I don't read. I think.

Geese, why would anyone want to spend a lifetime to studying a stupid theory
that turns a simple geometric concept into one in which light speed always
remained constant at c?
.....Far easier to stick with Euclidean geometry and the truth.

I once proposed a geometry that would make the density of matter constant
throughout the universe. It is quite possible.... and it leads to astonishing
results. Why don't you devote your life to worshipping 'Wilson's constant
density theory' rather that Einsteiniana?




Einstein concocted a geometry that would make light speed always equal c. Do
you think that is (1) easy?, (2) an indication that he was insane?

Manifolds are not necessary if one accepts that light speed is not constant.

Why try to make the univerese hareder to understand than it is already?

You're a troll, Geese.

No Geese. Experiment and theory show that light speed is c relative to its
source.
The task now its to burn the last 100 years of physics books and start all over
again.

It isn't very different.

2) No. It fits experimental evidence - despite your fits to the
contrary.

Bull!!!


http://relativity.livingreviews.org/...1-4/index.html

Mossbauer effect.
Gravitational Lensing. Eddington's expedition, along with strong
and weak lensing.
Black holes.
Decay of pulsar orbits.

This is why you are not a scientist. Your set view of the world
diverges from how it actually happens to be when it is put against
experiment.




SR is nothing but a disguised form of aether theory. We know that

Geese. ...and
we also know there is no aether.

Wrong. SR needs no aether nor does it postulate aether.

SR does not need an aether because Einstein devised his clock

synching method
to make is superfluous.

But SR breaks down when it tries to explain how light travels through

space.

That is because it doesn't explain 'how' or 'why'. Very good Henri,
you realise what SR can't do.

Geese, I'll tell you a secret, RELATIVITY EXPLAINS NOTHING!



http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=e...ing.google.com

So what if it "explains" nothing? It is a good enough model. Everyone
with some education in modern physics knows that Relativity isn't the
theory of everything, we have some way to go. But until there is an
empirical contradiction within the theory or a contradiction with
experiment it will stand.





No reason, other than it does. Why do you continue to be fixated on
questions of "why" ? I acknowledge their use - only when they can be
answered.

Geese, do you have any proof that all light travels through

completely empty
space at the same speed.

References have been provided for you time and again. I will not do
your research for you. Entering a few choice words into google will
get you what you need. I assume you live within a decent distance of a
university library.

If so, please explain the mechanism.

I can't. That is just how the universe is.

Is what?
SR has no answer to the question. It breaks down.


Again, so what if it doesn't? Theories don't have to answer the "Why?"
question.






Which one changes speed, Geese?

Neither.

When I was doing by degree I must admit I had good professors but that
changed for my Masters. Unfortunately some lecturers thought their job was
to set these assignment questions that consisted of 5 trivial ones you could
knock off in 30 minutes and one bugger of a thing that it took me weeks or
months to solve. I went to see the lecturer about that and he said - oh we
need something to challenge the good students - these are questions I had
difficulty with (and he had a Phd) - you really have done something if you
can solve it. Since I was also working full time I did a rethink and
decided to drop my Masters.

I only point that out because as I trawl through the math classes I am

I also recognise quite a few things that would trip up the cranks. I
am not sure if that is helping me or not

Linear algebra is one.
Applied analysis is another, where line integrals and vector calculus
are dealt with in detail. Henri's comment that somehow all the lost

laughing.

Pick any one of my physics undergrad classmates, they are all smarter
than you.


Geese, there is nothing smart about learning what is written in a book, just to
pass an exam. Any fool can do that...and plenty do. Many 'extremist 'yes men'
often end up with PhDs even though they have no creative ability whatsoever.

Being smart requires an ability to reason beyond what one has been taught.


There is more to math and physics to memorizing equations. Since you
never completed a degree in either, im not surprised to see such an
opinion voiced.

Im also not really amazed you have no single clue about what goes into
a PhD. A cursory chat with any random professor shows that you are
wrong.



So Henri, where did you go to school?


Well?

Did you ever finish a bachelor's program *anywhere*, and if so, in
what?




At any rate, you didn't answer my question. Why is it that I think Al
has something interesting and you don't? If either of you are right,
physics gets broken in interesting ways. Al moreso than you, because
if Al is right physics is broken in a way that it has never been
broken before.

What the **** is a chemist doing on a physics group, anyway?

Ask him, not me.

What is Al trying to prove? I've forgotten.


Ask him, not me.


You mean you don't know?


Duh.




It is rather unfeasible. Returned photons to a stationary ground
target are on the order of photons per second.

Geese, it has already been done.

Then there is no reason to do it again. Go read the reference and stop
proposing a repeat experiment.

It isn't the same experiment, goose.


http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=e...ing.google.com

Then don't say that it is.


The only thing I learnt from that thread is that I'm not the only person who
thinks you are an idiot.


You were first in line when they were passing out learning
disabilities.

Spelling my name isn't hard.





My point was that if its only photons per second on a ground target,
do you really think it would be that easy to task 2 sattelites to do
that in orbit?

No harder than 'star wars'. The moon is a pretty big target.


Star wars didn't work.


Even GB can probably provide enough funding to hit the moon.


- and the mirror will reflect back in exactly the incident direction.


You have no clue. None at all.


Oh? Please explain?


The stationary corner cube arrays return light on the order of a
photon per second to a stationary ground target on Earth.

Do let us know when you finish writing the proposal.






Please geese, don't try to behave like a physicist. You really ARE hopeless.

What do you know about being a physicist, Henri? Seriously...

When was the last time you had enough intellectual curiosity to open a
book that wasn't required for job or school?

Actually, goose, I have just written a book for school kids and interested
laypeople called "what exactly IS Physics?".
Send me $10 and I'll Email it to you..


http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=e...ing.google.com

*snicker* Have you gotten a publisher? Please don't diminish my
respect for Austrailia as a 1st world nation.


The book is on CD.


Pass it out around a local universitie's physics department. Plot the
laughter on a logarthymic scale.



At any rate, you didn't answer my question. You do not strike me as
the type who reads much.


I don't . Too busy trying to educate SRians.


Too busy to read. Gotcha.




Then arrange to have the experiment done. I won't try to stop you.
Since you have obviously put much thought into this, I won't even
question your statement of 'not difficult'.

Oh, right. Others do the work for you, it is merely your 'job' to
provide the ideas.

I cannot do it Geese. Not enough money. I'll have to ask the Chinese.


Do let us know if your proposal isn't laughed at.


You don't even understand the experiment or its significance, so don't comment
Geese. It is Androcles experiment anyway. It is perfectly sound and practical
right now.


Androcles doesn't do experiments, so I was assuming it was under your
control.

In any event, I won't be holding my breath for a paper - published or
otherwise.







Feel free to try though. I would be the last one to stop you from
actually doing an experiment, the ball *is* in your court. I have
nothing to gain for keeping special and general relativity.

You haven't.. nor does physics, in general

Good...you see that, at least. So why keep it? Math is hard, as you
know. GR math is harder. Differential Geometry for me this spring

GR maths is impossible because it is analogous to earth centrism. It tries to
create a geometry that will maintain a constant c under all circumstances.
Light speed is c relative to its source but nothing else. Light speed will also
change in a gravity field like matter does.

GR is plainly an exercise in sheer stupidity.
.....all it ever does is make a lot of pseudo scientists feel very smug.


OOooh. I think I see your problem with GR - you couldn't understand
the math.


I probably could not understand the maths of Earth centrism either, when it
tries to describe the motion of Jupiter's moons wrt Pluto.

..........but why should I bother?


Intellectual curiosity. To understand why people thought it would
work.



Tell me Henri, how long ago was it when you last tried to understand
GR? Did you ever read the little box about "ict" in Misner, Thorne,
and Wheeler that I pointed out to you?


Geese, when I see stupidiy in the first paragraph, I dont bother to read any
further. Life is too short to waste time on nonsense.


In other words, you think you already know the answer so there is no
reason to see what other people say.


I accept that light increases speed when falling down a gravity field just like
anything else. The maths is very simple then. no 'curved space' is required.
(curved in what, geese?)


Light doesn't increase speed while falling. You agree that the
universe isn't Newtonian, yet you think it is also NOT Lorentzian.
What is it? The c+v viewpoint is a Newtonian perspective, yet
Newtonian mechanics are empirically wrong.

Do you disagree with the equivlance principle, Henri? The frequency
shifts are derived *directly* from the equivlance principle -
acceleration and gravity are locally indistinguishable.

I also see a redux of the "Why?" question, along with the mentality
behind it.



Do you even read at all? Or is your brain a 1-way communications
device?


I don't read. I think.


HA HA HA.






In fact,
if Newtonian kinematics reigned supreme the math would be much easier.
GR is rather difficult to learn inbetween my course load right now

Of course GR is difficult. So is Earth centrism.

Earth centerism is rather easy, but wrong.

I suppose you are a flat-earther, eh geese?


http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=e...ing.google.com

You are unable to distinguish between the understanding of an idea and
belief in an idea. I understand the idea, but I do not believe in it.
Is this another case of you being unable to distinguish between
fantasy and reality?


Geese, why would anyone want to spend a lifetime to studying a stupid theory
that turns a simple geometric concept into one in which light speed always
remained constant at c?


What makes you think it takes a lifetime? Can I interpet it to mean
you have been attempting to study it your whole life and you still
have no ****ing clue as to what GR is?

....Far easier to stick with Euclidean geometry and the truth.


Euclidian geometry is wrong. Ask a surveyor.


I once proposed a geometry that would make the density of matter constant
throughout the universe. It is quite possible.... and it leads to astonishing
results. Why don't you devote your life to worshipping 'Wilson's constant
density theory' rather that Einsteiniana?


For the simple reason that your theory is wrong. Furthermore, what I
devote my life to is not going to be influenced by a crackpot aussie.





Einstein concocted a geometry that would make light speed always equal c. Do
you think that is (1) easy?, (2) an indication that he was insane?

1) No. Math is hard, especially differential geometry. Do you know how
hard differential geometry is? No, you don't. I suspect you have never
even taken a 300 level math class [read: linear algebra and up].

I always came top in geometry. It's my speciality.


Im talking about things like manifolds and vector spaces, not
highschool geometry.


Manifolds are not necessary if one accepts that light speed is not constant.

Why try to make the univerese hareder to understand than it is already?


Geometry has uses outside of GR. Too bad you are too shortsighted to
understand why. I would point you to a few books, but since you don't
read, I won't bother.



Have you ever passed linear algebra?


You're a troll, Geese.


What's worse? The troll or the moron who constantly falls for it?





2) No. It fits experimental evidence - despite your fits to the
contrary.

supposed non-progress.



This is why you are not a scientist. Your set view of the world
diverges from how it actually happens to be when it is put against

No Geese. Experiment and theory show that light speed is c relative to its
source.


Liar.

The task now its to burn the last 100 years of physics books and start all over
again.


Idiot.

Liar.

The work that is done at UAF includes auroral research. The motion
electrons exhibit is relativistic. Would you like to argue the point
with any of the researchers here? I would be greatly amused to be
privy to the exchange.




I can't. That is just how the universe is.

Is what?
SR has no answer to the question. It breaks down.


Again, so what if it doesn't? Theories don't have to answer the "Why?"

Go ahead, keep using the word 'SRians' like it is an insult - noone

Just the self satisfaction of kowing that the truth can and will eventually
OUT.


In other words, nothing.

You haven't the motivation to prove any of us wrong, you just like to
sit and say that you are right by misinterpeting experimental

Androcles himself has said [*snicker*] that some can be done on small

Liek I said Geese, you don;t have what it takes. Naturally if you integrate

number of ticks emitted per period, no matter how fast the thing is moving or
what path it takes.

Can't you see that?
