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? -- Odd Bodkin -- maker of fine toys, tools, tables

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. R.H.

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. R.H.

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. > > Because with us too, sometimes, our ass is not clean. > > R.H. > -- Odd Bodkin -- maker of fine toys, tools, tables

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

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.

Physics is not a subject you can just figure out on your own. 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. R.H. -- "Mais ne nous y trompons pas.

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. R.H.

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

There are no cosmic truths, only cosmic religion. It's a ...belief. -- The Starmaker -- To question the unquestionable, ask the unaskable, to think the unthinkable, mention the unmentionable, say the unsayable, and challenge the unchallengeable.

Where are all these people coming from with the first name Pat??? Doesn't Pat stand for Patricia? Pat is a girls name.
