Don't forget, Herb, on the cosmic scale, the WMAP data agree with
previous work showing the Universe is flat and in an accelerating
expansion.

BTW -- do you remember your mommy telling you "where there is
smoke, there is fire"? Well you can say, "where is gravity, there
is spacetime curvature". And visa versa.

I liken flat to a "two dimentional" sheet I think the density of the
universe determines its geometry(yes) I go with "saddle shape" It has
a negative curve. Get the picture I think most here would go with
a positive curve,like the surface of a sphere. If so they go with a
"closed" universe TreBert

Herb--It's not a matter of what on "likes". The WMAP data agree with
previous work showing the Universe is flat and in an accelerating
expansion.

there is either curvature or there isn't;
this is the essence of Cusa's proof,
that the circle cannot be "skwared" or rectilineated
(that provides both neccesity & sufficiency).

thus:
on the wayside,
it is usually given as "p=mv,"
for historical reasons of "minding your Ps and Qs" (and,
I don't think, it's the same "units" as a force).

thus:
one should read the acolyte of Hubbard at Shell;
his two books on Peak Oil, really give a good precis
of the whole business -- although
they were published way too late, for him to say,
I tol'y'so, as he did.

the best theory of Earth processes is by a mechanical engineer,
who worked at an America oil co.

BP's mini-dysaster in the Gulf is certainly suspicisous, but
keep in mind the quantification viz-a-vu the Exxxon spill
by Puget Sound; the organic seeps in the Gulf are
about one Valdez per annum -- with massive pumping.

like, Bogart that poultice!

thus:
the original "KE" equation is known
as Leibniz' *vis viva*; whereas others had thought
it was just the first power of speed (i.e. Galileo,
I think).
> Experimentally, this is shown to apply to all forms of energy.

thus:
well, you made an assumption about the general tetrahedron,
early in your proof, that only applies
to a small class of them (the "orthocentric" ones .-)

thus:
now that you've read some of it; so?

thus:
he seems to be unaware of the neccesity in a"proof,"
of "neccesity AND sufficiency," as first stated
by Leibniz (although having one or the other is,
still, very good -- if actually so .-)

thus:
with only the "trivial" solutions on the curves o'Fermatttt,
it sounds like a "necessary but insufficient" proof;
PdF certainly could have done it.

thus:
so, your coinage of pi(a,b) is the same as pi(b) - pi(a); now,
can you say thr proof as a wordprolemmum?

Well, some theoreticians think that maybe spacetime itself breaks down
in that ultramicroscopic realm. No one really knows and the math
cannot really tell us. In the end, nature will be the final arbiter.
