The draft has been rejected (i waited it :-)) in basis to the claim
> I find the manuscript extremely poorly written and highly confusing.
> Several of the derivations of the author are simply wrong.
I agree that draft was poorly written. It was a second draft of my work
and it was 18 pages long and i just waited extra feedback and criticism to
add to that from Baryshev, Yurij; Christian, Joy; Google Scholar Team;
Poisson, Eric; van Flandern, Tom; Charles Francis; Carlip, Steve.
For instance i had several useful feedback regarding General Relativity
and equations of motion from expertise on equations of motion Eric
Poisson, but he has kindly refused any debate regarding the novel part on
dual potentials (this is explained below).
Now i am working in a third version which is 46 pages long and contains
one new section, several changes, and many improvements in the mathematics
and the presentation of the material.
I am addressing several technical comments from referee, showing some
mistakes that referee is doing and revealing that recent literature by
other researchers supports my conclusions.
However, even when rejecting the publication of the second draft (i am now
preparing third draft, introducing referee comments and preparing a
response to referee), the referee has already confirmed some points from
mine contradicting usual General Relativity literature.
I introduce some of their comments below.
For example, i maintain that General Relativity does not reduce to Newton
theory in /any/ limit and maintain that statements as Wald 1984 in its
page 78:
(\blockquote
Above, we showed that general relativity reduces to Newtonian gravity
)
are not strictly true. Referee says:
> Strictly speaking, Newton's theory is not contained in GR
Therefore we agree here. Another example where i disagree with
conventional literature is when Carroll 1997 'derives' the equation of
motion (4.19) and adds
(\blockquote
This begins to look a great deal like Newton’s theory of
gravitation. In fact, if we compare this equation to (4.4), we find that
they are the same once we identify [h_00 = -2 \phi]
)
but Carroll equation (4.29) with metric coefficient h_00 substituted, i.e.
the expression (4.19) + (4.20)
(d^2 x / dt^2) = - partial_i \phi
is not equivalent to Newton equation (4.4) even if both seem to be the
same in a first look!
The reason which they are not really equivalent is that spatial, temporal,
and causal structure for both is different.
For instance spatial metric
dsigma^2 = gamma_ij dx^i dx^j
is different in Newton gravity and General Relativity.
The anonymous referee (i think he is certain expert in numerical
relativity :-)) points:
> If the author wishes to check this using numbers instead of limits, he
> could simply program a computer with the Schwarzschild metric and the
> geodesic equation, and integrate numerically the motion of tests
> particles for small values of M/R. He will then find that for small
> enough M/R the trajectories become identical to Newtonian trajectories
> to extremely high numerical accuracy (in fact, as high as one desires
> for small enough M/R).
From a *computational* point of view both trajectories are
indistinguishable for small M/R. I agree. The precision depends of the
inverse of the order of M/R.
If one takes the limit M/R --> 0 then both trajectories converge with
infinite precision and one obtains exactly a Newtonian trajectory.
This is an interesting point confirming my analysis. Initially, i used a
perturbative technique over proper time geodesics, but this confused some
folks (e.g. on sci.physics.foundations). Thus i have rewritten the section
in the perturbative geometrical technique using coordinate time geodesics
now.
Coordinate time geodesics follow from applying the identity
(d^2 x^mu / dt^2) = (dtau / dt) d/dtau ((dtau / dt) (d^2 x^mu / dtau^2))
to the usual proper time geodesic equation. Using a simplified notation
(by commodity :-)) the final result is
a = -Gamma v v + Gamma0 v v v
Now terms are expanded in perturbative series with lambda being of the
order of deviation of g_ab from flat metric, i.e. order (M/R)
a = <a> + lambda^n delta^n(a)
Gamma = <Gamma> + lambda^n delta^n(Gamma) = lambda^n delta^n(Gamma)
Etc. for (n > 0)
Comparing with Newtonian theory i get that both theories are equivalent
only in the limit when (lambda --> 0).
This rigorous convergence corresponds to the limit
(M/R) --> 0
that referee points out. Now, referee and me maintain different
interpretations about this common result.
He considers that virtual equivalence between theories at "extremely high
numerical accuracy" is enough for practical problems. I disagree.
That lack of *exact* convergence has far reaching consequences when one
abandons the so-called 'stable' systems and consider more general
dynamical regimes. In more general 'unstable' regimes small differences
are amplified over time no matter how small they are at initial instant
t_0.
This is why recognized expertises on relativistic chaos as Prof. Schieve
http://order.ph.utexas.edu/research/glimpse.html
and others do not use the GR geodesic equations of motion for modelling
many body dynamics of bodies under gravity in generalized regimes. A many
body theory (with *exact* Newtonian limit) is discussed on (Trump &
Schieve 1999).
People who cannot access the monograph can take a look to the basic
covariant equations of motion and the relativistic Hamiltonian for bodies
under gravity on
http://canonicalscience.blogspot.com/2007/08/relativistic-lagrangian-and-
limitations_20.html
On second part of my work on "Newtonian limit difficulties of GR" i show
that no metric or field theory (i.e. General relativity, FTG, etc.) of
gravity can reproduce the Newtonian theory.
This part of the work is more complex and unusual because relies on a
series of modern advances in our understanding of interactions.
This part of my work is based in direct application of the electrodynamics
dualism concept
A^b(r,t) --> A^b(r,t) + A^b(R(t))
introduced in a recent *generalization* of field electrodynamics
http://prola.aps.org/abstract/PRE/v53/i5/p5373_1
to the case of gravitational interactions
h^ab(r,t) --> h^ab(r,t) + h^ab(R(t))
My present work is the first one that applies dual interactions to
gravity. I consider the cases of action-at-a-distance (Stefanovich 2008;
Assis & Graneau 1996), field theory of gravity (Baryshev 1999), and the
conventional geometrical formulation of GR and the modifications, changes
for each one.
For instance, the field theory of gravity may be modified according to the
above generalization of the tensor potentials. Of course, conventional
field theory of gravity is recovered in the limit
h^ab(r,t) + h^ab(R(t)) --> h^ab(r,t)
Like in the electromagnetic case, some few modifications to the field
theory of gravity are needed: the field equations, the classical actions,
new terms in the equation of motion, etc.
However, and this is a very important point, the geometric description of
gravity cannot be maintained in this new picture. A purely geometrical
picture of gravity is broken because no geometrical interpretation for
n_ab(r,t) + h_ab(r,t) + h_ab(R(t)) /= g_ab(r,t)
is possible and because the new terms in the equation of motion have not
geodesic interpretation and may be interpreted as forces.
Dualism also introduces several serious limitations on the validity of
otherwise rigorous works as (Fritelli & Reula 1994).
If my novel work is confirmed then we would change our way to think about
gravity with the field theoretic method being, so say in a picturesque
way, a half of a more complete formulation of gravity, but with the
geometrical approach being broken at one fundamental level.
If finally confirmed, then this work would have important consequences
also on other branches of physics as cosmology, quantum gravity, and
string theory.
Indeed, I was already formally invited to give talks about this on two
international conferences, but i was forced to resign because health
problems:
http://www.canonicalscience.org/en/publicationzone/
canonicalsciencetoday/20080516.html
In the PPC-08 conference will be given some talks about possible recent
experimental confirmation of the field formulation of gravity over the
geometrical one.

Juanshito,
No, you weren't invited, you are just being delusional as usual.
You have the special ability to ignore the interesting stuff of posts and
focus always in the irrelevant part.
An interesting part is the statement that General Relativity does not
reduce to Newtonian gravity.
Another interesting part is that field formulation seems to be favored
over the conventional geometrical formulation.
Etc.
In any case, I personally thanks to organizers of conferences their
formal invitation to conferences in the acknowledgment section of my
paper. Both of them have a copy of my last work in their desks.
You did already lye about this in the past and you are doing again. It
may be your obsession :-)
> You did already lye about this in the past and you are doing again.
Juanshito,
You are not in any of the refered conferences programs. I pointed your
lying about this before, that much is true :-)
Normal people considers they would not cite in the conference programs to
authors who them invited but could not participate because health
problems.
You may continue to lye about this minor point because it may be your
real obsession :-)
Rest of people here and also in sci.physics.foundations and
sci.physics.research (both posts were approved by moderators are
available in both lists) may prefer to debate about the physics and math
on the rest of my post :-)
What physics, Juanshito? What math, Juanshito? There isn't any, this
is why your "paper" ended up in the wastebasket, REJECTED.
Ha ha ha, more lying. It may be your obsession :-)

See? REJECTED, Juanshito. In your OWN words.
If General Relativity does not reduce to Newtonian gravity,
GR is wrong, because any correct theory of gravitation
must have Newtonian gravity as a subset in a weak limit.
If you claim that GR can emerge in special cases under
a more general new theory, then that new theory is also
wrong, because it yields a wrong subset (GR). Unfortunately,
if you submit a paper to top journals for peer-reviewing a new
theory that is intented to replace GR, then your paper will
be rejected. Consider for example, the Ten Commandments,
so you submit to the Holy See a paper with a more correct set
of new Twenty Commandments, what will happen?
Excommunication!! :-)
Peer-review journals are part of the current Inquisition tribunals
along with mainstream institutions in science.
"A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its
opponents and making them see the light, but rather because
its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up
that is familiar with it."

If he can reduce it to 5 lines, I'm sure van Flandern
will be able to give "extra feedback and criticism".

It's quite clear to me, the subject (GR)
is not understood by you and quoting books
is only so good. The subject itself you
address has the interest of navel lint.
(Profs told me that in the 1960's, and I
think they were right).

Yes, you will eventually die without understanding any scientific truth.

Would this be a bad time to tell you that this isn't how its' done and
any conclusion you obtain from faulty analysis is irrelevant?
You wrote the words....then ignored them. The perturbation is IN THE

Uhhhhhh, no.

Probably because you are unwilling / unable to follow the standard
perturbative analysis. Or because you are just ornery and can't let
this go.

Of course you do.
"Practical problems" are things like determining transfer orbits and
such. GR corrections to trajectories are extremely tiny.
It looks you have no actual argument about the correspondence between
GR and Newton, and are now arguing about something completely
different.

Also known as "chaos".
That classical orbits are not closed in GR due to perturbations has
been known since....day fucking one when Einstein showed that an orbit
will precess due to third order effects in the potential.
That the perturbations will have long term consequences is as obvious
as the sun at high noon. It would be interesting to ask what the
higher order effects would have on long term orbit stability, but that
isn't terribly relevant to the discussion.

It is actually accepted that usual peer-review is not perfect and in some
cases is forcing conformity rather than quality
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peer_review
There are several well-known studies about that. Even top journal Nature
devoted issues to the topic of "correct works were rejected by peers" :-)
http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v425/n6959/full/425645a.html
For instance, the own top journal Nature rejected Hawking work on black
holes. Is Hawking a crackpot for you because that?
I can also offer you a list of winners of Nobel prize were initially
considered crackpots by people that now nobody remember :-)
Actually there is a generalized plea for open peer review. Nature did
some well-known recent 'experiments' about review also.
Yours is just the kind of behavior is solved with open peer review. See
the wiki for details and links on open peer review.
In open peer review you would offer your real identity and not just
remain anonymous. I am rather sure you would think twice before posting
some of your usual stuff.
Criticizing other whereas remaining anonymous is something very simple
and gives room for many abuses :-)

Maybe. I want first to address all comments and criticisms and add extra
references supporting my points. After work could be splinted into parts.
e.g. a part revising Newtonian limit for GR, FTG and R-AAAD and another
paper dealing with dual extension
h_ab(r,t) --> h_ab(r,t) + h_ab(R(t))
seems natural splitting.

There several nontrivial parts of the work are totally novel for GR
expertises and may confound them. I already experienced this! Therefore,
i need to explain with care each detail for avoiding misreadings.

I discussed the topic of Newtonian limits in this and other newsgroups in
the past and i was said (by several 'experts' in GR) i was completely
wrong and GR has a Newtonian limit as usually stated in textbooks and
papers. Do i need to search the old posts and the names of the
expertises? :-)
In my opinion, nobody really solved the questions i was asking and i
continued to work in that topic.
Recently i posted in sci.physics.foundations where again i received
criticism by two 'experts'. One of them did not even know how correctly
to derive a tensor T_ab (and i has explain him how to derive :-)) but he
decided he would still criticize my work :-)
He was an 'expertise' in GR could not covariantly derive T_ab correctly.
Of course, I was an ignorant in GR could derive T_ab :-)
However, real experts as Eric Poisson agreed that GR lacks a limit giving
a) the correct field equations, b) nonzero acceleration and c) the
correct spatial metric. Usual textbook derivation are not correct.
Of course, that does not stop 'expertise' in forums that still argue i am
doing mistakes and I am seriously confounded about linear regimes, and
that GR has, indeed, a correct Newtonian limit...
Now i can see referee of top journal on GR agrees in:
> Strictly speaking, Newton's theory is not contained in GR
Of course I continue being an ignorant on GR (only my critics understand
GR) and the reason i got the correct result (and they the wrong result)
may be traced to a mere coincidence.
Now, i am working in another coincidences :-)
I am realist and i do not wait a paper seriously undermining GR to be
published in a journal devoted to GR :-)
But i was just curious to know what criticism would be. I want to prepare
myself about the unfair criticism i will receive by my heretic work :-)
Referee behavior has been somewhat strange. Initially he rejected the
paper in basis to a really short "it is not novel" "it is poor written"
and "it is making mistakes".
Of course, this is unfair criticism because if you do not say where
something is wrong then authors cannot *check* it and/or *defend* her/his
position.
I wrote a rebuttal and asked referee to seriously support their points.
For instance, i know my work is *novel* (no GR expertise knows math and
physics i am working, that is sure) and if my work was not really novel
then referee would easily cite a single reference proving that :-)
Well, referee replied, he did not cite a single reference and then has
retired his first unfair criticism :-) This gives an idea of how that
referee works.
I am working in the second point and wait some native English colleague
can help me to improve presentation.
About the third point, I solicited referee to specify some of the points
he considers are wrong. He has done now, he offers a series of points
that in his opinion are wrong.
But all points he point are based in his misreading and misunderstanding.
Indeed referee even copied wrong some formula and then criticize the
wrong formulae that HE WROTE.
This is all rather unfair and i have searched who is the anonymous
referee. I strongly suspect who he is. It seems to be a famous GR
expertise who is working in a hypothetical gravitational engine
(something as the warp drive of Star Trek :-))
My work more or less may prove that his geometrical engine will not work.
This would explain bizarre review, making unfounded claims after are
retired when i pressure on him :-)

Unfair accusation without proof is very easy. If anyone of 'us' think
that above link is not true, then would start a legal issue against.
But **be** sure you have a good lawyer because defamation without proof
is a *very* serious issue in some countries.
I already explain this to you before.

No.
GR and FTG are recovered in the limit
h_ab(R(t)) + h_ab(r,t) --> h_ab(r,t)
NG is recovered in the limit
h_ab(R(t)) + h_ab(r,t) --> h_ab(r(t))
more c--> infinity
It is not possible derive h_ab(R(t)) from h_ab(r(t))
and this is one reasons that GR literature on Newtonian limits is not
right.

Notice that Maxwell relativistic electrodynamics has been also recently
proved to be unable to give the correct Coulomb limit
Previous Einstein work and all previous textbooks and papers on
relativistic electrodynamics are wrong because computed the Coulomb limit
incorrectly.
See the revolutionary paper
http://prola.aps.org/abstract/PRE/v53/i5/p5373_1
where electrodynamics is *generalized* and usual relativists dogmas as
interactions are retarded by c, particles interact via fields, etc. were
eliminated :-)
A similar correction of GR is needed, with mayor principles dogmas being
revised. Do not worry, before or after that will be published :-)
Of course, i do not wait a work undermining GR to be published in a
journal specific of GR.
Censorship is rather usual and well documented. See my reply to dirk for
references on censorship, even Nature journal studied the topic and did
experiments to change the current peer review system.

If GR exactly contained Newton, the theories would be
indistinguishable. However there are definite differences between the
two theories even though they correspond at some limit.
GR only contains Newton after a large line of approximations.

I was so close to knowing what the hell you are talking about.
I haven't yet and will never give a damn about the ancillary babble
about the Other Theories Of Gravity you keep talking about. They have
always been and will continue to be completely unrelated to whether GR
has a Newtonian limit or not.
I'd actually like to read more about those other theories of gravity
that you think have a shot, but not here in this thread.

I'd like to remind you that you have written _quite a lot_ in the past
few months on the subject and if all those words from you on USENET
most likely contain every argument used in the article you had
reviewed.
Since your argument /still/ hasn't progressed past citing a few people
saying that the linearized theory is inconsistent in a mathematical
sense, I'm going to assume that the article goes along those lines.
I do certainly hope you used the correct perturbation theory, and that
you namedrop a bit less often in your article.
Listen for a minute - you have done nothing but make the same
arguments for months now. You produce the quote from Wald explaining
that the linearized theory is inconsistent. Then you make the argument
that the whole linearized theory is inconsistent. Then you claim GR
has no Newtonian limit.
That's how it goes /every time/.
Not once have you progressed beyond that. No, namedropping Wald/
Poisson/whothefuckever doesn't count.
You haven't shown how perturbation theory is inconsistent. You do,
however, massively undercut your argument every time by posting things
that either directly contradict your argument or blindly repeat things
that are widely agreed to be true.
Go back and read the referee's comments about the Schwarzschild metric
and its' geodesic equation of motion. Everything you wrote about what
he said utterly destroys your argument that there is no Newtonian
limit for GR. Shit, you can even verify it directly without even using
numerical computation since the literal _only_ difference between the
equations of motion for Schwarzschild and Newton is a term
proportional to 1/r^3 that is really, really small for small masses
and large separations.
The best you can do is get agreement that, in some sense, perturbation
theory is inconsistent.
> Did you even know you are speaking?
No. I'm having a waking dream. Now that I think about it, I miss the
sex ones.
I hope there isn't a mixing between this one and the sex ones.
Can I dream about dreaming? How many layers of recursion can my mind
handle before I have a stroke?

Remember kids - it isn't libel if its' true. I'll honestly apologize
if you can prove it, or produce a convincing enough forgery.
I only doubt it because I know how you act, and that group seems to
have its' shit together. Together, there is a small [large] amount of

Your claims on what Eric Poisson agrees upon has shifted majorly.
Originally you claimed that he agreed that GR has no Newtonian limit
when the metric is flat, which was pretty fucking obvious.
How about producing his actual words on the subject? I'm curious to
know what "the correct spatial metric" is - from HIM.

If you submit a paper to a Journal and one referee reject publication
because the paper contains some wrong derivations, it seems to me that
referee would point at least some of those derivations he think are wrong.
If referee makes not that then:
i) Author cannot check derivations and correct the wrong ones
ii) Authors cannot check derivations and correct the referee.
Referee already did one unfair criticism previously and in last
communication he withdrew it just after i asked him to support their
point with references and he could not find one :-)
Now he also points some derivations and discussions he think are wrong.
Well, I have studied his comments and i am now writing a rebuttal on why
referee is wrong. I also include extra references to support my points.
For instance in one of parts referee copies *incorrectly* one of my
equations and then discuss why *that* equation is wrong. His criticism is
valid for *that* equation but that equation is *not* that i wrote :-)

It may be "pretty fucking obvious" you misread.

Well, i already offered several quotes in spf. I also said there but you
cannot read that Poisson is quoted in two parts of my work and correctly
acknowledged at the end.
He holds a copy of the third version of the draft.
Poisson confirmed that derivation given in Carroll is incorrect, and that
the *correct* geodesic equation of motion for *linear* metric
g_ab = n_ab + h_ab
with |h|^2 and higher orders terms being zero is
(d^2 x^i / dt^2) = 0)
and NOT the equation (4.19) you find in Carroll :-)
Of course the equation (d^2 x^i / dt^2 = 0) implies test bodies do not
feel gravitational interactions and move in straight lines.
I do not quote this part on the work but may reply you:
To get non-zero acceleration (i repeat again Carroll derivation is wrong)
one may consider a *non-linear* metric and then
(\blockquote
you need to solve the second-order Einstein field equation. This,
of course, gives you a metric that is not spatially flat.
)
Of course, i proved that in the paper and proved the *nontrivial* result
that field theory of gravity gives spatially flat metric in agreement
with Newtonian result :-)
> It isn't so much that you don't understand GR but rather because you are
> _unbelievably_ stubborn.
Still i got the right result "Newton's theory is not contained in GR" and
others the wrong result :-)
Only a few days ago you still maintained that GR reduces to NG and this
was proved in textbooks as MTW and Carroll :-)

This is all wrong.
Examples of theories reducing exactly to NG in some limit are (Trump &
Schieve 1999; Stefanovich 2008).

Referee have confirmed my finding: "Strictly speaking, Newton's theory is

GR does when "there is no gravity".
This is why the referee pointed that numerical deviations between
Newtonian trajectories and geodesic ones are function of ratio (M/R).
Of course, this contrasts with Carroll (*wrong*) statement that geodesic
equation he got "is the same" that Newton equation. No it is not.
I am rather sure referee is an expert in numerical relativity. I got the
same result from a perturbative geodesic technique.

Then, if you are that sure, to start a *legal* issue against me or
against the Centers news cited above.
Read me with care, I am *inviting* you or any other to *formally* accuse
me from lying in this specific aspect.
A difference between kids and mens is that latter are legally responsible

If you or any other is ready to make false accusations in a public forum,
then she or he would be also ready to pay the consequences of making
false accusations. This is how adults world works :-)

Juanshito,
You are completely wacko, you have not been banned (unless the journal
editor has had enough of your wackiness), your paper has been
REJECTED. Get that?

But I could help you by suggesting other journals that might accept
your paper. This is why I asked you the title of the journal that
rejected your paper.
Yes, I've corrected myself, I think you
are a troll and crack-pot. Your lack of
english/math/physics skills can be
corrected, or even overlooked when I see
a good natured mature attitude, however,
Quoting Juan, "seriously undermining GR".

You are confusing "there is no gravity" [which is silly] with "there

The word "approximation" once again needs to be considered.
The Newtonian equation of motion in the weak field limit is exactly
like Newton...after a series of approximations. If you analyze the
full field solution, yea of course there are going to be deviations.

Of course I'm ignorant of those other topics - I haven't studied them.
They are, however, irrelevant to the discussion.

I'll stick with "I'm pretty sure you are lying", as there is doubt and
I don't /know/ that you are lying. Maybe the organizer had a stroke

He's quoted saying things that are already known to be true and are
above reproach. Yea - if the metric is exactly flat, there is no
gravitation. However the perturbation ensures that the metric _is not
flat_.

The only way this is true is if either you neglect the perturbation

You need better wording - test bodies _always_ move in straight lines.
That's what a geodesic /is/ - a straight line.
Try saying that there is no curvature.

The perturbed metric isn't flat - spatially or otherwise - so I don't

The referee's purpose is to make a publication decision for the
journal. Sometimes the reply to a journal submission is something
like, "we cannot use your paper at this time," with no further
explanation.

My point was that you are clearly obsessed waiting my ideas, writings

This explain why you devote hours of your time to try to *falsify*
newsgroups rants inventing a hundred of people against me :-)

You know that because I said that to you, get that? :-)
You seem to make a big point about that but reading is actually
different, specially after noticing that one of reasons which referee
rejected the paper was because he *confirmed* a part of *my* work and
then considered my work was not new enough for publication.
You seem to have obtained a very wrong idea about all that but the
important findings are:
1) General Relativity does not reduce to Newton gravity. I.e. you were
wrong in the past not me :-)
2) General Relativity needs a dual extension :-)
Of course you prefer to focus all your post about the "rejection" issue,
but this is explained by your obsession :-)

Great, so your paper is rejected, no one gives a shit about you and
your "ideas". This is what you have been told all along by several of
us. So, then , fuck off, get another hobby. Spare us your
pontifications, Juanshito.

I do hope this isn't a surprise to you considering every point you
make is either from someone else or copied directly from a textbook.

Often claimed but never proved. You've been making the assertion for
quite awhile now, but you still have presented no new argument on the
subject.
In fact I'm yet to see the steps between "g_uv = n_uv + h_uv" and your
conclusion that "d^2x^i/dt^2 = 0". You do dance around it though -
plenty of comments about how true it is and how you wrote a nice
article about it, along with how it is implied by something else if
you remain consistently in linear order in the perturbation. No proof
though!
By the way - when *are* you going to post the submitted article and
the referee's comments? This thread is about both but the former makes
no appearance and the latter is only provided in small doses without
supporting context.
Hell, when are you even going to post Poisson's full comments on the
subject?
A real researcher shouldn't feel the need to hide things like this.

But both Eric Poisson and the referee agree with me that Carroll
derivation is wrong. The final equation for that metric is (a = 0) just
like i have obtained and *not* the equation that Carroll writes :-)
If they are already convinced about this part why would i worry about you
think?

No you are wrong *again*. The symbols are nonzero, indeed they are really
linear in h :-)
You are doing all series of wrong comments about this since time ago both
here and in spf. But i do not worry because both the referee and Eric
Poisson (both experts in GR unlike you :-)) already explicitly *agreed*
with me at this point.
Your 'evaluation' of my work always have been irrelevant. Remember just a

Oh, you missed the word *and* in my phrase and also missed i wrote the

Lay off the booze, Juanshito,gives you hallucinations.
Speaking of hallucinations and delusions, let's have a look at the
"conferences" you claim you were invited.
Here is your claim:
http://www.canonicalscience.org/en/publicationzone/canonicalsciencetoday/canonicalsciencetoday.html
1. Here is the program for the first conference:
http://www.cosmology.info/2008conference/papers.htm
Wait a minute! This is a conference organized by Tom Van Flandern,
your fellow crackpot. Even though, your shit paper didn't make it.
2. Here is the program for the second conference:
http://ppc08.astro.spbu.ru/fin_program.html
A quick perusal of the section "Gravitation Physics for Cosmology" (I
didn't look at the others), shows that this is a crackpot "conference"
as well. Even then, your shit "paper" didn't make it in.
So, why do you keep lying, Juanshito?
BTW, what is a "canonical researcher"? Are you a canon? Do you sing
while you write?
How many more "reserachers" at your "center for canonical studies"?
Funny thing, your "center" has produced...nothing. Do you have a sugar
daddy like David Thompson to bankroll you?
Then why didn't your article get accepted? Gosh, maybe there's more to
it than that little sentence which - strictly speaking! - is true.

Let's see their words. All of them. If you can't figure out why "well
someone else said so" in correspondence you refuse to show isn't a
good enough reason to change my mind, you picked the wrooooong field.
When I say "all of them", I mean "all of them - including the parts
you leave out because they don't make you look good".
All Poisson ever claimed was that GR doesn't have a Newtonian limit
with a flat metric. You posted his exact words - and when it was
pointed out that a flat metric isn't assumed, you changed the wording
to "the correct spatial metric" or somesuch.
Why are you afraid to post exactly what Poisson and the referees
said?
Do you know people notice when you snip out things you don't want to
respond to?

If they are nonzero and linear in h why are they NOT THERE? I can
never remember the permutations of the indices in the geodesic
equation, but I'm almost completely sure there is more to it than what
you wrote down.

Let's see the words with them _explicitly_ agreeing with you.
So far, all you have shown from the referees and Poisson are things
that are either widely known to be true or irrelevant to the exact
topic under discussion.
[...]
I'm almost completely sure I just said that.
Yep, I did.

Right from the source: "We would like to see if it predicts Newtonian
gravity in the weak-field, time-independent, slowly-moving-particles
limit."
Which do you think it is? "the same" or "an approximation"? Besides,
Carroll isn't the captain of this particular ship - I think I just got
you onto him because I used the lecture notes as a reference once upon
a time. Look at Wald or MTW some time.

Indeed it is true and Wald 1984 in its page 78:
(\blockquote
Above, we showed that general relativity reduces to Newtonian gravity
)
is wrong. GR does not reduce to Newtonian gravity. And Carroll stating
that his equation (4.19) is Newton equation is also wrong :-)

But you are again lying. I quoted Poisson carefully and in context. He
received a copy of the work and invitation to add something or correct
something he said if he believed quotations on paper would offer not a
*precise* idea of his thinking. He has changed nothing.

They will find I am wasting time with one guy who don't can read, cannot
take limits, doesn't know how covariantly derive a tensor T_ab and got
difficulties with dimensional analysis of quantities as (1 + 2phi/c^2) :-)

You always ignore my advice to study topics before reply. But it is a

And GR does *not* predict Newtonian gravity for those constraints. It was
already shown by me, and confirmed by two GR experts, that geodesic
equation of motion is here (d^2 x^i / dt^2 = 0) and *not* that derived by
Carroll (eq. 4.19)
Of course, your impressive ill-defined comments may be avoided :-)
>
> Which do you think it is? "the same" or "an approximation"? Besides,
Pretty irrelevant that i think, when the own Carroll *says* his (4.19) is
"the same" than Newton equation of motion. But *no*, it is *not*.

Ha ha ha ha :-)
You need a sense of humor.
That discussion is taking place against the
back drop of a possible time reversal asymmetry,
that is in this article about K-meson decay,
http://www.lbl.gov/abc/wallchart/chapters/05/2.html
Juan, it's good that you're following that thread,
it's hard work. Apparently differential calulus
cannot be used for that problem, so yes, I did
go over to a more elementary "incremental"
calculus, so yes, I'm boning up on incremental
calculus because the continuum does not apply.
Stay tuned, you might learn something from that
thread.

I am already learning as another moderator taught you to integrate
equations like
dX = 0
OK! now solve dX =-dX where X=/=0.
I know how to solve that type of problem,
using "incremental calculus".

I always wonder by the infinite number of ways to misunderstand something
you can show.
It seems unimportant how many time one chooses to select the precise
works or to explain the weak points.
No. The "main piont" was that it was a poorly written paper,
by your own estimation. You do not get free editorial help
by sending manuscripts to journals.
If you are not capable of expressing your ideas so that they
can be understood, then it is your problem, not the journal.
You deserve to be blacklisted.

That is a minor 'piont' when compared to mayor points i) and ii) cited
above. But again you prefer to avoid the mayor points emphasizing a minor
issue.

But did not say were a journal problem. Indeed i agreed with referee at
this part!
Moreover, i also explained i have improved presentation, added tables,
and changed notation for math. E.g. i changed analysis done in proper
frame to coordinate frame to do more easy the link with Newtonian results.

That may be your real interest instead the novel research findings.
