sphere & pseudosphere maximum Reverse Concavity. Is it 10% #395 Correcting Math
Scratch my last post because it simply does not work. The only patches or cuts would be line-segments. The only remaining viable "problem" is the idea of rolling the sphere around the pseudosphere and seeing where the pseudosphere has an area-contact, not when the sphere is motionless but as it rolls around th... 6 Feb 2010 04:16

sphere & pseudosphere maximum Surface area Contact? Is it 10% #392 Correcting Math
Alright, I have to retrench somewhat here. Looking at Mathworld's pseudosphere and funnel equations, that the contact nested inside is a line contact and not area. So I have to retrench the model and operation. What I do is cut the sphere into half and then cut a hole into what used to be the poles and slide th... 6 Feb 2010 03:12

Eddington's interpretation of action may unify mechanics and information theory
Eddington writes: "...we may identify action provisionally with minus the logarithm of the statistical probability of the state of the world which exists. The suggestion is particularly attractive because the Principle of Least Action now becomes the Principle of Greatest Probability." Space, Time, and Gravi... 6 Feb 2010 02:08

Time machine implies existence of God?
I have the following rough idea: Suppose some kind of time machine exists (it may be e.g. two connected moving blackholes with wormhole between). Suppose somebody want to use it to travel in the past when he was a child and kill himself in the childhood. If he would do it it would violate basic principles. ... 5 Feb 2010 15:05
