NoEinstein OK, so I take it that you refuse to do one of these steps 1) Vacate your chair 2) Take your butt to the library 3) Open the book to the pages I mentioned 4) Read either because you're incapable of it or you are too lazy. Sorry, but I am not a nursemaid, and I don't cut other people's meat for them, and I don't serve their meat on a rubber coated spoon, even if they whine that they won't eat it any other way.

NoEinstein > Since you can't seem to find any of my original posts, I'll reproduce one here for you: ========================================================================= I had a high school student come into my office on campus one day. He had been encouraged by his mother to come visit the physics department to discuss his ideas because she thought he was brilliant. The department chair, in his infinite wisdom, sent the young man to me. For a half hour, the lad drew pictures on my chalkboard of a new unified field theory. No math, mind you, just a lot of enthusiastic description and squiggly figures and semiplausible notions. Still chewing on my sandwich, I stopped him at one point and asked him to calculate something ... anything ... with his model -- or at least set it up so that I knew in principle the calculation could be done. He looked at me in all earnestness and said, "Oh, I view myself as sort of the Einstein type. I come up with the Big Idea, and then I let everyone else work out the details." I stopped chewing, swallowed carefully, and composed my thoughts. For the next half hour, we discussed what it really meant to be a physicist, how Einstein had to study the state of the art for years before even being ready to work on a Big Idea, and what would be required of this young man on his journey to becoming a theoretical physicist, which is what he wanted more than anything else in the world. Unquestionably, he was shaken. He had no idea that it took more than just intelligence and a blinding stroke of insight. I have no qualms about having directed him this way. Any profession in the world requires an extraordinary amount of work to become tops in the field, and much of it is grinding toil. Physics is no different. Anyone who enters into such a field should not be shielded from this information, lest the moment of disillusionment come after years of wasted, dreamy ignorance. The good ones will embrace the challenge. The other aspect of this, though, was my alarm at his perception of how Einstein worked, how he did what he did. Few of the everday Einstein fans recall, for example, that the same year he was publishing his seminal papers, he was struggling to get his PhD thesis approved, and he was working at a side job because no one at the university could find money to support him. In this 100th anniversary of some of his singular accomplishments, I think it's worthwhile reminding people about how much hard work, how much formal training, and how much time spent simply learning, went into those accomplishments. PD ============================================ NoEinstein, you are a deluded, egomaniacal basketcase.

Ah, excellent, just so it's clear. You're problem then isn't with Einstein and the physics of the 20th century. It's with all of physics since the 1600's. Basically, it's just ALL plain wrong, everything that is taught to schoolchildren from the 3rd grade on.

Good heavens, John, you've gotten confused two equations for two different quantities, you can't even get one written down right and you call the other one wrong.

The ghost of Einstein so severely vexes John that he's paralyzed with the fear of having to face the obvious fact that he's very, very stupid. The only thing remarkable about John is just how vacant he is.
