From: spudnik on 17 Mar 2010 16:32 I'm an idiot. what's funny is that I attended the Ninth Nonlinear Science Conference at UCLA, where the keynoter told the story of how, Newton stole the inverse second-power law (the algebraization of Kepler's orbital constraints). thus: that is, he corrected an error in the marginal statemnt, thus also ruling-out all powers of two, as exponential (from the lemma that you only need to work the prime powers). > why would Fermat explicitly state n=4, otherwise? > (he did not prove n=3, explicitly.) thus: ha, good question about every God-am frequency (1/period). Burt also had a really good question, about (say) How would Sun emit a photon -- what shape does it go?... he must be using the new "mental operating system!" thus: most of the interpretation of the EPR "paradox" results, a l'Alain Aspect et al, is due to the ideal of a photon, in assinging all of the God-am energy of the wave-front as a "mass" (electron-voltage, say) of a particle, whence the wave-energy was somehow "caught" by the photo- eletrical device. here are two ways to get over this: a) just consider the practice of audio quantization, the phonon; b) show how the photoelectrical device is actually tuned to absorb a particular frequency of light. so, is the "phonon" just one cycle of the period of the sound, and like-wise, is the photon just one cycle of the frequency? --Light: A History! http://wlym.com --Weber's electron, Moon's nucleus! http://www.21stcenturysciencetech.com/ --Stop Cheeny, Rice, Waxman, Pendergast and ICC's 3rd Brutish invasion of Sudan! http://larouchepub.com

Not really. Like I said, SR existed before Einstein in the form of the Lorentz transformation; it was all there from time dilation to length contraction. Einstein's part was trivial; he gave an example of how it applies. The applications of SR/GR are rare. However, engineering is almost pure Newtonian. Newtonian mechanics have a MAJOR impact.

GPS accounts for the time difference in a gravity well; something theories other than GR, like Sciama's, does just as well. >> However, engineering is almost pure >> Newtonian.
