philosopher Jeremy Butterfield of Cambridge will inform the relativity
cult that the problem with signals travelling faster than light is
difficult. He has just discovered that "the idea that influences
propagate at most as fast as light" can be violated:
http://quantum.leeds.ac.uk/~viv/FoP07abstracts/Butterfield.pdf
Philosophers' main task will be to find the best language to present
the violation. Philosopher Jeremy Butterfield of Cambridge has already
discovered this form of presentation:
http://talks.cam.ac.uk/talk/index/5570 : Jeremy Butterfield
"Reconsidering Relativistic Causality": "I discuss the idea of
relativistic causality, i.e. the requirement that causal processes
(signals) can propagate only within the light-cone. After briefly
locating this requirement in the philosophy of causation, my main aim
is to draw philosophers' attention to the fact that it is subtle, and
even problematic, in contemporary physics. For there are scenarios in
which it fails."
Other presentations may be offered and a poll in the relativity cult
will finally determine the best one. In any event, the world should
continue to sing "Divine Einstein" enthusiastically:

Pentcho,
There is no difficulty reconciling superluminality with modern physics
if we don't mind generalizing special relativity only slightly. The
change only requires a simple modification to the relativity
postulate. Can relativists accept a simple tautology? All the laws of
physics may be divided into two categories. There are laws of physics
that are the same in all inertial frames of reference and there are
physical laws that aren't. If superluminality exists, then the law of
superluminality most certainly belongs in the second category.
Please note that the full force of the relativity postulate isn't
required to derive everything known experimentally about special
relativity.

What the fuck are you babbling about anyway? Physics already has an
axiomatic formulation.
Special relativity is now [you know, the 21st century] based in the
land of group theory. General relativity is based in the land of four
dimensional Riemannian geometry. Quantum theory is based in the land
of group theory and Hilbert space. Physics has a very solid
mathematical basis, regardless of whether or not you are ignorant of
it.
Your attempts at working with special relativity are ham-handed and a
fantastic waste of time. I can derive all of special relativity by
digging up the only four dimensional group that is unitary,
orthogonal, orthochronus, and has a finite speed limit. It is called
the Lorentz group - also called SO(1,3). Furthermore, this method gets
me the metric formulation and does it in all four dimensions.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorentz_group
Very informative.
Yes, your 'formulation' is technically right. But as I have told you
many times before, it presupposes a specific form of the
transformations between frames. It is also inelegant, uninteresting,
and most of all the author is a conceited self-important twit.
Then listen up and try not to be a pompous ass. If you believe that
physics has been axiomatized, then tell me who has solved Hilbert's
sixth problem. [1][2][3]. The axiomatization of special relativity is
easy. The importance of http://www.everythingimportant.org/relativity/special.pdf
is the childishly simple result that all the experimentally verified
facts of SR can be derived without postulating a group structure, the
reciprocity principle, the relativity principle or the constancy of
the speed of light. The paper also demonstrates nonlinear versions of
the Lorentz transformations, which proves that the linearity
assumption can not be derived from the isotropy and homogeneity of
space and time, as Einstein mistakenly believed.
General relativity is also easily axiomatized but since GR is clearly
wrong on a galactic scale [4], its primary value is historical and
satirical, demonstrating a fool's paradise.

Hilbert's 6th problem is irrelevant to the discussion and I have no

Your work is wholly unimportant and uninteresting. You don't derive
anything. You postulate the form of a transformation equation, and you
run with it. That isn't axiomatic. It isn't interesting, and it
certainly isn't worth you yelling about it on USENET for 5 years.
You aren't being suppressed, you are being ignored. You will always be
ignored, because you have nothing worth listening to. You have your
head too far up your ass to see the flaws in your 'derivation', much
less see why people aren't interested. You are not educated enough to

No, Eugene. You are even less familiar with cosmology than you are

simply end up pointing and laughing at your obvious ignorance.

theory suffers from ultraviolet problems: the field at a point is not
well-defined. To get around this, we introduce the idea of smearing

free field theory." Divergences on the very definition of a quantum
field indicate a mathematical failure on meaning.

Please try to understand that the terms isotropy and homogeneity apply
to geometry, and that in Minkowski space, merely resetting clocks
doesn't change its geometry. You obviously don't know the first
principles of spacetime.
Don't you get it? No matter how much you advertise, no one gives a
shit about your "work". Because it is shit.
Thank you very much. I receive between 1,000 and 2,000 hits per month.

Yet you still haven't actually had your "work" published yet. What's

Why don't you explain why your derivation is better than Einstein's
derivation, or the modern group theory derivation?
Hits but ZERO publications. Despite heavy and shameless
selfadvertising. Care to explain?
Garbage. Group theory and Special Relativity are two totally separate
theories.
[1] Group theory describes a specific mathematical structure.
[2] Special Relativity describes a kinematical theory of physics.
That the Lorentz (or Poincare) transformations form a group does not
mean "SR is based on group theory". Any theory admitting a vector
space structure also admits a group structure as reflection
transformations form a group. Poincare transformations consist of
spatial translations, rotations and boosts which are fundamentally
composed of reflections.

Garbage. A group or a group element cannot have a "finite speed
limit". Your other properties of the group are easily derived by basic
geometric formulations of the theory.

You can't move from a group structure to a vector space structure
without (various) hidden assumptions and axioms. It's not surprising
that you don't know this or that you don't understand this.
[...]
Sounds like you hate group theory more than you hate relativity. Do
you shun all forms of mathematics higher htan algebra?
Read what he said -- SR is _BASED_ON_ group theory.
> That the Lorentz (or Poincare) transformations form a group does not
> mean "SR is based on group theory".
He meant that a modern derivation of SR uses group theory in a
fundamental way. Specifically, all of SR can be derived from the following:
0) SR models the world as a 4-dimensional manifold involving 3-d
space and time
1) the Principle of Relativity (Einstein's version)
2) there is a finite upper bound on the relative speed of inertial
frames
3) the definition of inertial frames as coordinates on the manifold
plus the obvious requirement that the transformations among inertial
frames form a group.
(0)+(1)+(3)+group theory imply that only the following groups can be
admitted as transforms among inertial frames: Euclid(4-d), Galilei,
Poincare'. (2) further limits one to the Poincare' group. All of SR
follows from that (well, to get mechanics more postulates are needed...).
> You can't move from a group structure to a vector space structure
> without (various) hidden assumptions and axioms.
I didn't hide it -- that's all part of (0).
Indeed the Lorentz symmetry of SR has proved to be of fundamental
importance to theoretical physics. So this is a natural and appropriate
derivation.
Tom Roberts
That makes no sense. Group algebra is more primitive than normal
algebra.
The infinitely decreasing boundary of your competence becomes more
evident with each of your posts, Gisse. In fact, one could say your
incompetence has no boundaries at all.
> Read what he said -- SR is _BASED_ON_ group theory.
I did and it's still wrong, as are you. SR is not "based on group
theory". Groups are an algebraic structure. The Poincare group of SR
derives from geometric considerations. You cannot go the other way
(without hidden assumptions and/or axioms).
> He meant that a modern derivation of SR uses group theory in a
> fundamental way.
SR as derived by Hermann Minkowski does not require group theory in
any fundamental way. The group structure arises trivially from
spacetime reflections.
> Specifically, all of SR can be derived from the following:
Specifically wrong. SR includes more than the underlying Minkowski
spacetime, it contains dynamical and mechanical considerations.
> I didn't hide it -- that's all part of (0).
Another mistake. A manifold is not a vector space. You need the
remaining postulates to recover a vector space (or Minkowski space in
this case).

That (clumsy) derivation may be "natural" and "appropriate" to you,
but it certaintly is not the way the founders of SR viewed the theory.
Quite the contrary, actually.
The group structure of SR is a (trivial) geometric consequence not a
fundamental axiom.
Such as?
[...]
If you want me to teach you something, tell me specifically what it is
you want to learn.
If I knew what you thought were 'hidden assumptions and/or axioms' I
wouldn't be asking you to explain what the fuck you are talking about.
Integer multiplication forms a group. Rotations form a group Start
with a group. Now get rotations not integer multiplication without
assumptions.
"What the fuck" the assumptions are irrelevant, that they exist is
trivially true.
Intellectual dishonesty - not just for breakfast anymore.

Many more people more intelligent than me discovered most of the flaws
in those hoaxes long before I came along. Although, I'll admit, I
never saw any Solomon Brothers Building free fall physics analysis and/
or calculations being discussed in blogs / videos until after I posted
some stuff on usenet several years ago. Same goes for momentum
conservation violation. I'm sure I wasn't nearly the first to discover
these baby-physics facts, but that people like you and Dork who after
all these years still don't understand is indicative of something.

Why is it you call your paper "The Axiomatization of Physics" when you

You make a very reasonable request. Let me give you a hint: To get the
inverse of the nonlinear transformation in exercise 1 of

exchange x' with x, t' with t and v with -v. The problem is really
much easier than it appears. I don't expect that any of my pompous
critics could prove the group structure by doing the actual
calculation directly but if Tom Roberts or any other capable physicist
denies my group structure, then I would be happy to prove that these
transformations form a group when I get some time.

select any set of constants at random with any arbitrary function and
compute the value of the function on those constants and the inverse
function of the result. Prove you don't get back to where you

I don't think that this is correct, this is the caliber of answer that
we get all the time from the likes of Ken Seto. Your "transformation"
contains recursion ("tseta" is a function of "tseta") So please do the
calculations in this thread. Try compositing T with T^-1 , would be
very interesting to see what you get.
All those recursions produce instantaneous cancellations. If you want

Listen, fart, i published a work once.
Don't want to come out, Shooby? OK, I'll talk to you through the skirt.
By homogeneity/isotropy of space and time, Einstein meant
homogeneity/isotropy of the measurements of space and time by Inertial
observers - IOW, that the experimental results of an Inertial observers
don't depend on when/where/orientation considerations. However, that
independence *can't* be realized by both of two observers whose
space/time measurements are related non-linearly. If you think
otherwise, then provide what you've already been asked to provide -
"try finding a non-linear coordinate transformation involving space and
time, in which space and time measurements are isotropic and homogeneous."
And what's the latest re. that other wild-goose chase you were sent on -
how's your search for a non-axiomatic Physics theory going?
>>
>> Shubee
>> http://www.everythingimportant.org/relativity/special.pdf

The transformation does have a group structure*, but it has no more
significance than that. In particular, Shooby's claim that, for any
function f, the group is "physically indistinguishable" from the Lorentz
Group is, like most of what Shooby says, nonsense.
* It's a bit easier to verify when the last term in the equation for t'
is written as f(x').

Congratulations jem. It sounds like you convinced yourself of the

Proper velocity u is defined by eq. (3) in The Axiomatization of
Physics - Step 1 and has the clear physical interpretation presented
there. In Shubertian physics, the parameter v is only a derived
quantity, a function of the proper velocity. The ordinary velocity v
is defined by eq. (40) in http://www.everythingimportant.org/relativity/special.pdf

hahahhahaha "shubertian physics"

Bzzt! Sorry, Shooby, only when the function f is constant does v
represent the "ordinary velocity" between the reference frames. Got
another guess?
jem,
I don't have to guess. It's obvious that you don't understand my
interpretation of equation (1) and equation (2) for the toy universe I
call Xi_2.

3. Calculate T*T^-1
But you didn't answer my question, shooby. Why should anyone care?
You were asked what v represents in your transformation equations, and
there isn't any need* to look beyond those equations for the answer.
* other than the need to be evasive when you're asked a question whose
answer you should know, but don't.
I said very clearly that v is a function of the proper velocity. I
also said that these equations describe simple inertial motion. If you
proved the group structure, then you know that v adds like ordinary
velocity does in chimpanzee relativity. Why isn't that good enough?
http://groups.google.com/group/sci.physics.relativity/msg/803397d03512b7b0
Hey, for once you are correct, your "paper" belongs to chimpanzee
relativity.
And you also said v was the "ordinary velocity", which in general, it's
not. In fact the ordinary velocity between two frames may not even be
defined (e.g. when f(x) = x/2 and v = c/2).
I
> also said that these equations describe simple inertial motion.
Think so? Select two of your crazy-clock reference frames (CC1/CC2),
and specify the trajectory in CC1 of the origin of CC2. Unless the
clock offset function f is constant, that trajectory isn't going to
describe uniform motion, so at least one of those reference frames isn't
Inertial.

I have no idea what you think "adds like ordinary velocity" means. In
general, v isn't even a velocity in your equations.

Eq. 3 of http://www.everythingimportant.org/relativity/special.pdf
explains very clearly the equation that describes uniform motion in
terms of proper velocity in my very general coordinates. If you insist
on chimpanzee relativity, then yes, setting x'=0 does give you a
confusing function of t in terms of x and f(x). But I am not confused;
You are. In general, f(x) isn't invertible or even continuous or
measurable so that the best that you can get in general for the point
x'=0 is a function that looks like t=h(x). The meaning of this
equation for the point x'=0 is that as the origin of CC2 moves through
each point x of CC1 as you call it, the local mathematical clock at x
will read time t. Naturally, I presuppose a minimal set of axioms in
my paper and therefore enjoy emphasizing my trivial law of physics
which says that the universe doesn't change physically when arbitrary
clock synchronization schemes are used. So exercise 2 still stands.
Does my nonlinear group generate an identical physics to Lorentz, as
claimed?
Here's a fun exercise. In the goofy coordinates of my nonlinear group,
let a clock move away at "velocity v" then turn around at some
distance and then return at the same speed. Prove the usual time
dilation effect.

The *description* of the universe changes, i.e. the physics changes.

Considering that any clock that starts in one of your goofy reference
frames (i.e. where f isn't constant), and moves away from its starting
point at constant velocity v, is never at rest in any of the goofy
frames, why don't you have the fun of proving it, and then you can show
us your proof. Show it here though - nobody is interested in wading
through pages of self-aggrandizing to find anything on your website.
Hint: you might want to use a symbol other than "v" for the velocity
since "v" also happens to be an indexing parameter used by the goofy
transformation.

Two universes are said to be isomorphic if every observable fact about
one universe is also true in the other. In two seemingly distinct
mathematical models, the equations describing each universe might be
vastly dissimilar, but if the math leads to identical predictions,
then the two universes are essentially the same.

In terms of the axiomatization of physics, I should have been more
precise: "Does my nonlinear group generate a universe that is
isomorphic to the Lorentz universe? The answer is an obvious yes.
Still haven't managed to prove this one, Scooby.
Still trying (and failing) to BS the people in this forum.
Still being exposed as a fraud and a grandomaniac.
So, when are you going to do your calculations? Start with something
easy, like computing the inverse of your BS nonlinear transform. Since
you have a tendency to pull that out of your butt, composite the BS
inverse with the BS direct and show that you are getting the identical
transformation. Don't be shy, demonstrate your mathematical ability.

And that's understandable isn't it? It would be better if you worked
on concealing your ignorance by being quiet rather than opening your
mouth and dispelling all doubt.

required to do this computation.

OK,
So its clear for all of us that you can't defend your shit "theory".
Did someone else write the math for your paper? Because since you've
arrived on this forum , you have steadgfastedly avoided writing any
math.
Combined with the cretinism of using nonlinear , recursive functions
in your "transforms" this pretty much seals your fate.
There is nothing to defend. Either you can do high school math or you
can't.

Recursive functions are not invertible, so your shit "transforms". So
your "theory" is also shit. Defend that.
The Cartesian coordinates _are_ generalized coordinate, Shooby. They
are mutually orthogonal, and their derivatives are exactly as one
would expect for generalized velocities.
Isn't having an education handy?

The proof is that my nonlinear equation satisfies the two fundamental
equations of the Xi_2 universe, i.e., eqs (1) and (2) of
http://www.everythingimportant.org/relativity/special.pdf
The entirety of the Xi_2 universe is explained in a little more than 2
pages. See the bottom of p. 3, p. 4 and p. 5. To transform the
ordinary velocity v into proper velocity u, just use equation (40).

Modern SR is _already_ in axiomatic form and it contains no errors.
What is there to gain by switching to a contrived derivation of
something already known that doesn't even correspond to modern SR?
Forget the toys and the universes and all the other mumbo-jumbo dredged
up to avoid having to admit that you don't have a clue where to begin.
Do you even know what a proof is?
