What if 'error' was not in a programmable vocabulary?
You hear it all the time in movies or on TV, most often as a cliche, "(so-and-so) doesn't know the meaning of surrender. Another version goes, "failure" is not in (so-and-so's) vocabulary. But think for a minute, really think, what if the word "error" did not exist in the English or any language, how might a thinke... 7 Apr 2010 14:38

Dyslexia and Math Difficulties and Dyslexia related manifestation in Mathematics
Math Difficulties People with dyslexia are often gifted in math. Their three-dimensional visualization skills help them "see" math concepts more quickly and clearly than non-dyslexic people. Unfortunately, difficulties in directionality, rote memorization, reading, and sequencing can make the following math tasks s... 6 Apr 2010 01:00

really predicting the masses of elementary particles #569 Correcting Math
I wrote last night: What I am relying on is the idea that the electron has mass of 1 and space of 1876 whereas the proton has mass of 1876 and space of 1. And the way I derive the number 1876 for the proton mass relative to electron mass, is that only at the diameter of the larger sphere of 1876 di... 5 Apr 2010 16:08

really predicting the masses of elementary particles #568 Correcting Math
Now the title does say "really predicting", but I am having a bit of a problem here. This website sort of tells it all in that of the loxodrome, so that it does not matter as to the diameter size of a sphere. --- quoting a search hit --- Spirals Equiangular Spiral (Logarithmic Spiral, Bernoulli's Spiral) top... 5 Apr 2010 05:03

DOUBLETHINK AND RELATIVISM IN EINSTEINIANA
Relativism in Einsteiniana: According to Einsteiniana's teachers, there is a lot of truth in Einstein's special relativity but there is a lot of truth in Newton's emission theory of light as well. The two theories are COMPATIBLE: http://www.aip.org/history/einstein/essay-einstein-relativity.htm This reprints an ... 2 Jun 2010 02:15

I WON!!
I will now try to let you know WHY it seemed important that i won -- and still does. I thought that "he" was an expert mathematician who would understand my arguments; and that he too would know that I won the challenge. Though unimportant by itself, I thought he would immediately call that to the attention ... 4 Apr 2010 18:12

i won.
Several years ago, after I realized that Einstein was doing algebra, not calculus, in his 4rth, 5th, 6th and 7nth equations and thereafter, I posted that on sci.physics.relativity. After several people said I was wrong, I said, If you think he got to eq 7 by calculus, please show how he did it. When several repl... 8 Apr 2010 16:19
