From: TomGee on 8 Apr 2005 23:20 Tom, I regret not being able to get you to stay on. And of course physics is not a chess game. I did not say it was, I said we should debate issues as we play the game, with a general strategy of defense with a watchful eye toward the movements of the opposition. Does that sound like I have changed the subject or ignored your arguments about physics not being a chess game? If I am "slippery", is that a bad thing or a good thing for physics? The harder I am to corner or to be checkmated, the better it is for physics, I think. E.g., suppose for a minute that I am correct about my claim that Newton did not actually say that no force is needed for his 1st law object, as everyone has been taught through all these many years. What harm will that do to physics, to discover the truth? I have offered a translated version of what Newton actually wrote, and in it he not only does not claim that no force is needed for his law 1, but that the object has an inherent force! Did anyone know that before? Yes, those who translated it! Why then did they not make a big to-do about such an earth-shattering discovery? How long has this fact been known while we labored under a misconception over what he said and meant? What reason could there be for the truth to mean absolutely nothing when it conflicts with what we and our children are being taught? Is that a Communist conspiracy or a corruption of our educational system or of our scientific ethics? If not, then what the hell is it? I have developed a few ideas which I have posted through several years in an effort to find some way to get a truly objective debate going, but to no avail. There have been many reasons why others have claimed my ideas are wrong, but not one person has been able to logically overthrow any of them. What I have invested in my ideas is nothing but time, yet the dividends are tremendous in terms of my peace of mind about our world. Before I got on the 'net, I tested them on persons around me, even one college professor, and everyone asserted they were all science fans and would love to read my essay. All but the professor were just not up to understanding my ideas at first, so I rewrote and rewrote to make them easier to read, but again, to no avail. The professor said he read it, but he could not give me any input other than to ask how I could understand a concept I had explored when his postgrads could not come to grips with it. I guessed he thought I was looking for compliments, but I was looking for help. I have found that most posters in these science ngs are well-versed in the many issues brought up here, but rarely to a depth beyond what they have been taught. Those who venture out on a limb are pelted with insults and ludicrous replies that it is no wonder few are ever heard from again. Trolls like Uncle Al attack all new ideas as if they are completely correct or completely wrong, ignoring the fact that most new ideas are not either completely, especially when they are in the developmental stages. I agree that someone skilled at conniving and avoiding facts cannot be correct, but I do not agree I have done that. We were taught to think it was a fact that Newton said no force was needed in his 1st law, but after questioning that and finding one which claims Newton said otherwise, where is that so-called "fact" we all learned and defended? My posts attack such "facts" and those who believe in them heart and soul attack me for doing that. If they prevail over me, any idea of mine which is correct will not help anyone for now, and maybe never. I have always defended my ideas as far as I could before changing them to be in accord with the known facts, and never have I ignored the facts. TomGee |
