true, I'm more into the *theory* of music,
which is a part of numbertheory,
which is a part of *mathematica*.

> I can hold-my-own in any brass band.  And you?

thus:
why should Leibniz's rule on KE,
violate conservation of energy --
isn't the onus upon you, to show that?

why do you believe that waves of light
have mass or momentum -- because
of an equation?

OK; how about:
define what you think is the Coriolis effect or force, or
why you think it is wrong in your application.

thus:
why should Leibniz's rule on KE,
violate conservation of energy --
isn't the onus upon you, to show that?

The question below is about science. There is only one correct answer.
Opinion doesn't enter into it. What does your common sense tell you
the one correct answer is, John?

Suddenly you seem very timid...

I'm not disparaging your profession at all. I'm casting doubt on your
qualifications to practice that profession.

Then why did you choose architecture instead?
