Subject<crickets>
Message-ID<svr6j6$fd5$1@gioia.aioe.org>
For the last day or so, it’s just been the quiet gibbering from resident
psychotic half-wits: Maciej Wozniak, Pentcho Valev, Mitch Raemsch, and carl
eto/thor stoneman. 

For a bit, we are free from long winded rants exuded by drunks and raging
retired engineers. No Ken Seto, no Pat Dolan, no David Seppala, no Henry
Wilson, no Richard Hertz, no Richard Lengrande, no “itsalllies”. 

Even the word salad tossers (Finlayson, DiEgidio, Fontenot, RichD) and the
cackling jackdaws (Starmaker, the evanescent nym-shifter) have found
nothing to make random noise about. 

Could it be that 117 years after being introduced, special relativity is
finally unquestioned by anyone other than psychotic half-wits?

If we send a nuclear bomb on Moscow, I don't see how we can complain if 
the Russians atomize New York, Paris and London in response.
But hey, history has shown that man is capable of worse follies.
So you have to be careful.

If 117 years later the theory of relativity is still disputed, the reason 
must be sought elsewhere than on the grievances of all those who do not 
believe in it.

Scapegoating them and insulting them is human, religious, and easy 
behavior.

This is mostly stupid behavior. We have to listen to them, and try to 
understand what is not working with them, and with us.

Because with us too, sometimes, our ass is not clean.

As is scapegoating the Flat Earth Society and those who believe the earth
is no older than 6406 years.

No, I really don’t think it’s necessary to take length to understand what
is not working with people like you. The real problem with people like you
is that you’ve never bothered to learn the material from any textbooks and
have relied purely on online garbage. So it’s easy to understand what’s not
working — it’s your ingestion of garbage. Once you decide to study from a
real book on the subject, then you won’t have these confusions. 

Pat Dolan was here just a while ago and agreed to start reading through
Spacetime Physics. Unfortunately, he is also habitually inebriated and got
only midway through the second section of the first chapter before
collapsing. There the problem was not the material but his inebriation.
Again, very easy to understand the source of the problem.

We must be wary of what sometimes seems too easy.

Even if I repeat it, it is an extremely human behavior.

Personally, I try to listen to people before judging them.

Whether I listen to someone about physics depends strongly on whether
they’ve studied physics from books. If they haven’t, then their concerns or
opinions are essentially useless. Period.

The problem is that the tone of your post reminds me of what religious 
people say.

It seems that if you don't understand everything, it's because you haven't 
read their texts well.

The statement does not come from a religious stance.
It is a simple fact that uninformed opinions are much less valuable than
informed opinions.
It is not worthwhile to try to alter uninformed opinions. All that can be
done is to encourage becoming informed.

In the case of relativity, that is true. If you do not understand
relativity, it is because you have not read the texts on relativity well.
Period. Physics is not a subject you can just figure out on your own.

Sorry, poor halfbrain, but your uninformed opinion is much less
valuable, than informed opinions. Of course,  it is not worthwhile 
to try to alter uninformed opinions.  An idiot can never understand
he is an idiot, because he is an idiot. All that can be done is kick
his ass hard.

Anyway, you think I should read what other people say without asking 
questions.

But that's anti-scientific.

In life there are two excesses.

Believe everything without ever thinking, and never believe the details 
that are given to you.

Life should be like a guitar string. If you do not stretch it enough, it 
makes a low and unpleasant sound.
But if you stretch it too much, it breaks.

As for the theory of relativity, it must first be studied well in order to 
then be able to talk about it.

But it goes both ways.

You also have to know how to point out things that are not clear when 
things are not clear.

This means that abusive denial should not be practiced.

I didn’t say don’t ask questions. Pat Dolan asked questions about specifics
in the book we picked, and I answered those questions. But you have to ask
questions about the actual content of the book. We can’t converse about
general ideas if you’ve not learned them from a book.

Sure. Let’s discuss the book.

Yes, from a book.

Fine then let’s discuss what’s not clear in the book.

You confuse "what is written in the books", and "cosmic truths".
You must be young enough to still think so.
It's been a long time since I made my life, and I realized, all over the 
place, that lots of things didn't fit; and even in "pharmaceutical", 
"social", "medical", "historical" truths.
I denounced the great problem of 95% of humanity: ease.

What does a human being in general want? Quickly read a few articles 
written by others, and believe yourself a Nobel Prize in Physics, then 
think about your vacation in Djerba-La-Douce.

Ease.

And if one tells this truth, this truth always generates hatred.

Or contempt.

Let us pose the case of the Titanic theory. What could be clearer than 
billions (yes, billions) of morons in the books and newspapers they read 
believe that the Titanis sank on April 12, 1912, in the cold waters of the 
North Atlantic, because he had been attacked by a nasty iceberg brought up 
from the Caribbean by the Gulf Stream.

We can't do anything against that.

And anyone who laughs about it, and knows the truth, is immediately called 
a "conspirator", because that's not what the books say.

Now, let's be clear, I love to read.

But always keeping a little critical spirit even if it's less hard-on than 
reading everything in a hurry and taking everything as divine truth.

If you have not studied from a book you will not ever discover these
“cosmic truths” on your own.

If this applies to you, then I take it you have little interest in studying
from a book.

Are you up to diving into a book or not? This is a yes or no question. 

If the answer is no, then I understand all I need to know about your
pretenses and aspirations.

There are no cosmic truths, only cosmic religion.

It's a ...belief.

You mean Textbooks, not books. There is a difference...but not to people
like Edwin F. Taylor.
