If you find responses on a public newsgroup tiring, perhaps you should make a blog and post all your 'science' there and only allow responses that you want? Unfortunately nobody would go to the effort to seek you out, you know this thus you continue to post here and fake indignation at the attention.

Jerry is letting his emotions cloud his thinking. By the reasoning he has used, he would have rejected Bohr's early planetary model of the atom and its ability to retrodict the hydrogen spectrum. Both the EM spectrum of hydrogen and the Bode-Titus law have (or will eventually have) correct physical explanations. We do not want to throw out ALL retrodictions, ONLY those that do not work, or are Ptolemaic, or are numerologically fudged. My retrodiction of the particle mass/stability spectrum is a valid stepping stone to a real understanding because it is based on a solid foundation of physics, just as Bohr's old QM was. I will be happy to respond to thoughtful posts, but I am done with the barking dogs. I wish them psychological peace. RLO www.amherst.edu/~rloldershaw

"retrodiction" of Bode's law for atoms? hey, Kepler was far more correct than is allowed, even though he only had teh seven planets of astrology -- and, he was Court Astrologer. there was an article in *Fusion*, that had a formularium that worked for all of the planets, and all of the moons of all of the plants, as I recall. thusNso: as Tim LocquaciousHand implies, "composition" of two rotations, one after the other, is not commutative, as the demonstration also can be modeled with quaternion multiplications; in any case, two roatations resolve into one, about a different axis. the question is, if you try to do them simultaneously, what happens? and, please, see if you can show it with quaternions, instead of this interminable blabfest; thank *you*. thusNso: Dear woould-be replacer of Jerry "no oil, except from Texas etc." Brown: no change from Jerry Brown's '69 "platform," eh? it is intolerably strange, insofar as we do need "fossilized fuels TM (sik)," to not get our share from our own "reserves." really, though, it is merely biomass, and the techniques have progressed since '69. Dubya's bro's ban offshore of Florida (and Louisiana) seemed like a tactical maneuver to support the oilcos' scarcity programme in our state. (why O why O why do folks believe, that the oilcos did not support the Kyoto Protoccol, which was just another cap'n'trade "free trade" nostrum, that Dubya'd have undoubtdely signed, if he had been told?) British Petroleum, the balls-out advocate of cap'n'trade, "Beyond Petroleum," is also the biggest company in the Alaska North Slope -- doesn't any body wonder, why no-one asked Palin about her BP-employed hubbie, and his Seccesionist ideals? one must take into consideration, with all of the hype about it, that oil comes out of the ground underwater in "seeps," under pressure. so, how much would come out, if BP et al ad vomitorium were not pumping like crazy? Waxman's current cap'n'trade bill just mandatorizes the huge, voluntary cap'n'trade since 2003 -- tens of billions in hedging per annum. what the Liberal Media (Ownwd by consWervative) don't talk about, is that he brought the first cap'n'trade bill in '91, under HW (who worked with Gore on the Kyoto cap'n'trade). what it amounts to, as Waxman basically admitted to, when he was at UCLA, is "let the arbitrageurs raise the price of energy, as much as they can in the 'free market' -- free beer, freedom!" a small, adjustable carbon tax would achieve the same ends -- as I even read "in passing" in a guest editorial in the WSUrinal, as well as from an "expert" in a UCLA seminar, but who said that it was (some how) "politically impossible" -- without being the Last Bailout of Wall Street (an the City of London). thusNso: I never read a word about Palin's hubbie's Seccesh "movement" in the Liberal Media (Owned by consWervatives) and that is sort-of the issue in AZ. I'm all for kids whose parents managed to sneak across the border & give birth, but I was taken aback by the "sense of entitlement" that the older kids have, about college (the DREAM Act; I stated to a group of them, that crossing the border is essentially a Mexican "rite of passage," and it is certainly not very dangerous as a proper hike, if you check the FAQs and maps & so forth from the Mexican goment (and those advocacy/ haven groups in the USA; it may be difficult in the summer, though). well, it's either that or college *in* Mexico, or you'll probably be made to join a gang. La Raza d'Atzlan are openly racist, not just by their title; at least, that's the impression that I got, attending one of their meetings at UCLA, two or three years ago -- it's in their God-am constitution. of course, teh real problem is "free trade," and this is already here to roost; the little spill in the Gulf is being used by British Petroleum -- which is also the #1 driller in the Alaska North Slope, that Ted Palin works for -- to create an "outsourcing" mandate to solve the problem, because we can't do it with our post-industrial cargo cult. well, iscrew that! read LaRouche, if you want to know the history with Lincoln and his "Spot Resolutions;" Cinco de Mayo should be a pan-american holiday! --Light: A History! http://wlym.com |
