Why would I have to incessantly repeat things to you, John? You can't
remember what I told you yesterday. Why would it be in my interest to
repeat it again?

It's the PUBLISHER'S failure that YOU'VE given me two different
Library of Congress catalog numbers, John, and neither of them is
correct?

You know you are a nutjob, right?

Gotta love that.

From: spudnik on
on the wayside,
directly proportional means, not inversely proportional,
as in the "inverse second-power law" that Hooke derived
from Kepler's orbital constraints (and,
it has nothing in particular to do with "skwares" .-)

thus:
the M-set's property of "universality" or self-
similarity -- the mini-bugs like the big cardioid --
is strictly an artifact of the floating-point spec (and
its many implimentations); however, monsieur M. could
only beg the question, over ten years ago, because
he never bothered to speak with the engineers
at his IBM fellowship. (he had not gotten any
further, when he came to campus & spoke, again,
couple o'years ago .-)

> Fractals are usually build with complex numbers, like the Mandelbrodt

thus:
yeah, but what is the integer, Avagadro's number?...
do you know the surfer's value of pi?

thus:
well, that is where the problem with assigning a particle
to a wave, a la de Broglie et al, comes. the assumption,
that causes folks to say "particle," is that because a quantum
(wave) of light is absorbed by one atom of siver dioxide (say,
in the photographic emulsion; or, other detector) --some how--
that it must be that a rock of light hit the electronic orbital
(although
this is never specified, as to how it could be, and the whole problem
of EM is also hard to describe, and is confounded
with the absurd notion of the "plane wave").
this is really all of a confusion from Newton's "geometrical
optics,"
that is, the "ray" of light, which is just one "normal"
to the wave (or Huyghens wavelet).
> You assume the particle exits both slits because you assume the
> particle creates the interference pattern in and of itself.

thus:
about your five "cloture" events, the real problem is that
"the Fed" was never properly ratified (and is unconstitutional
for that reason, if not directly; it is modeled upon the Federal
Reserve System
of England). of coursel the 527 cmtes. have essentially taken
over the TV advertizing on all national issues & candidates,
through an Act that was passed unaanimously in both houses.
> "Senate rules don't trump the Constitution" --http://GreaterVoice.org/60

thus:
I've been saying, for a while, that if "green" gasoline can
be made, and gasoline fuel cells, what is the problem
with Fossilized Fuels (TM), which ain't fossilized? ... anyway,
see "Green Freedom" in the article,
which is not quite what I was refering to!

thus:
Copenhagen's "reifiying" of the mere probabilities
of detection, is the biggest problem, whence comes
both "perfect vacuum" and "quantum foam" etc. ad vomitorium,
as well as the brain-dead "photon" of massless and
momentumless and pointy rocks o'light, perfectly aimed
at the recieving cone in your eye, like a small pizza pie.

thus:
all vacuums are good, if they suck hard enough, but
there is no absolute vacuum, either on theoretical or
Copenhagenskooler fuzzy math grounds.

thus:
magnetohydrodynamics is probably the way to go, yes;
not "perfect vacuum or bearings" -- and,
where did the link about YORP, include any thing
about the air-pressure?... seems to me,
it's assuming Pascal's old, perfected Plenum.
twist your mind away from the "illustrated
in _Conceptual Physics/for Dummies_" nothingness
of the massless & momentumless & pointy "photon"
of the Nobel-winning "effect" in an electronic device -- yeah,
CCDs -- the Committee's lame attempt to "save the dysappearance"
of Newton's corpuscle.
also, please don't brag about free God-am energy,
til you can demonstrate it in a perpetuum mobile!
> It stops because it has bad bearings. These asteroids

thus:
so, a lightmill is that thing with black & white vanes
on a spindle in a relative vacuum?
you can't rely on "rocks o'light" to impart momentum
to these vanes, only to be absorbed electromagnetically
by atoms in them; then, perhaps,
the "warm side" will have some aerodynamic/thermal effect
on the air in the bulb, compared to the cool one.
thus:
even if neutrinos don't exist,
Michelson and Morely didn't get no results!
> Could neutrino availability affect decay rates?

thus:
every technique has problems. like,
you can't grow hemp-for haemorrhoids under a photovoltaic,
without a good lightbulb.
the real problem is that, if Santa Monica is any indication,
the solar-subsidy bandwagon is part of the cargo-cult
from Southwest Asia (as is the compact flourescent lightbub,
the LED lightbulb etc. ad vomitorium).
