From: spudnik on
it'd be very difficult to prove that
Universe is not infinite, because
any telescope is limited in resolution etc.;
likewise, much "missing matter" is a)
the result of Einsteinmania (only using gravity), and b)
not properly sensed (infrared sensing is required
to reveal most optical data past "Z=1" -- which is,
now, beginning to be done -- and so on).

thus:
dood, see my sig -- new translations
into English of l'OEuvre.

> Dude, ever hear of Fermat's principle?

thus:
why do "pass/nofail" philosophers of science bother
with such a silly notion as Minkowski's phase-space
of "time & space forevermore on an equal footing, sic/um,
because you can draw a graph with time as one axis?"

thus:
what, standard construction?... if you do
as with the trigon, cutting the edges
parallel to the facets, you get tetrahedra & octahedra
.... as is wellknown to every student of Bucky Fuller
(which could just be me .-)

thus:
was you champion of a name-dropping proof, or have you looked
at his avowedly nonstandard approach?

I can't even vouch for Smullyan's popular books,
althoughI did develop an alternative
to his method in the Sherlock Holmes one,
re chess.
