~100 days to final empirical results for the full parity Eotvos
experiment. That is the only pertinent input. It can null, and
General Relativity (metric gravitation) is again validated. It can
give a net signal and GR is unambiguously falsified, falling to
affine/teleparallel gravitation. The full parity Eotvos experiment
cannot be a near-miss given the results of the first hemiparity
experiment

Theoreticians and gas bags hate definitive results. Uncle Al exults
in definitive results, win or lose. 400+ years of Equivalence
Principle testing have brough forth 100% perfect nulls within
experimental error,

http://www.mazepath.com/uncleal/eotvos.htm#b22

Uncle Al is assured of achieving no less than the gold standard of
performance in the art. The big question is, will he do better?
There persists a clean 50% chance that he will do better. In rough
numbers,

10 parts-per-trillion sensitivity in 30 days.
1 part-per-trillion sensitivity in 60 days.
0.1 part-per-trillion sensitivity in 90 days.

There is a signal above noise expected at the 60 day mark, but let's
not get overmuch full of ourselves. The proper thing to do is collect
the data, analyze it at the end, and see what we have without observer
bias.

Then, we will know.

The Eotvos balance is run by respected academics I have never met. If
you don't like disinterested academic experts, Schultzy, whom do your
trust? Since you thereby exclude yourself, we cannot trust your
opinion. Hey Schultz - do your really believe they would jeoperdize
their professional standing by reporting less than a statistically
certain result? After Ephraim Fischbach's "Fifth Force" scandal? If
it's OK with you, Schultz, I went for Chinese rather than Jews. Jews'
time has passed.

I have a backup academic Eotvos group, too. Belt and braces
("suspenders" to the lower classes). If this thing scores there will
be awesome grant fundings released. Huge numbers of heavily cited
publications will result. There would be so many questions to be
explored - what are the minimal necessary and sufficient conditions
required of an Equivalence Principe-violating parity test mass? Would
a merely chiral test mass work? Polycrystalline masses?

Is NASA trashed by decoupling inertial and gravitational mass at
will? Will parity masses conserve angular momentum? If gravitation
has a demonstrable parity anomaly then space is anisotropic.
Noether's theorem then no longer enforces conservation of angular
momentum for parity masses.

If it doesn't work, the kid gets his degree anyway. One may not
reasonably hold a grad student to higher standards than Galileo,
Newton, Bessel, Zeeman, Dicke, Shapiro, Adelberger... all of whom
looked for Equivalence Principle composition violations and all of
whose results were null within experimental error.

Classical gravitation is either metric or affine/teleparallel. Either
the Equivalence Principle is true or it is not true. That's all you
or somebody better gets, Schultz, for ANY theory of gravitation.
There is no third choice. 50:50, acey-deucy, +/-, 1/0, even-odd,
yes/no. No prior observation in any venue at any scale biases the
results - although a not quite null from the first hemiparity
experiment was wonderful motivation to run the full parity Eotvos
experiment and the Weak Interaction is strictly left-handed. The
Chicoms were awfully eager to get this thing rolling after that first
experiment. They were onto it like affective trauma counselors at an
Oklahoma City bombing, hebephiles attending the evidence phase at a
McMartin Pre-School trial, or moels surfing
alt.binaries.pictures.erotica.uncut

Single crystal electronic-grade optically left-handed quartz of the
required thickness is remarkably difficult to obtain. Uncle Al was
all over this planet seeking left-handed quartz in a size adequate for
the experiment. This includes quartz growers, optics fabricators,
instrument makers, geology academics, New Age jewelers, mining
companies, lascas suppliers, and rock hounds. Whatever the Chinese
did to make it happen, I prefer being on this side of their request.

(If anybody wants a small left-handed quartz plate 0.72 inches in
thickness for a kilobuck FOB vendor, post the request. The US
government has tens of tonnes of perfect natural quartz stockpiled as
a strategic material but, in their own words, "it literally takes an
act of Congress to get quartz from us." One can only wonder about
Bush the Lesser and his boys stripping down, oiling up, and madly
dancing around giant quartz crystals every full moon.)

You are wrong. Around 100 ppt is too big not to have been noticed in
other venues. Parity-violating energy difference (PVED) calorimetry
studies allow a 10 ppt EP parity violation without question. The full
parity Eotvos experiment in quartz maxes out every geometric variable
for parity-divergent test masses. It has 500X more net active mass
than the best composition Eotvos experiment and 110,000X more net
active mass than the best pseudoscalar interaction Eotvos experiment
(currently being run - null output). The hemiparity Eotvos experiment
was borderline non-null. I predicted a 3 ppt difference/average EP
full parity anomaly from the very beginning. 1 ppt would be more than
six-sigma and reportable. 0.1 ppt is Eotvos balance threshshold
sensitivity. That would be adequate for a modest "lookee-here!" page
in "Physical Review Letters."

Space is uniformly left-handed by empirical observation of other
parity violations. Given opposite directions in definition of optical
vs. geometric chirality, commercially grown optically right-handed
quartz, space group P3(2)21, is geometrically left-handed. That is
the configuration that should happily fit into left-handed space -
perhaps a tiny bit better than achiral mass re a left foot and a left
shoe vs. a sock. Optically left-handed quartz, space group P3(1)21,
is geometrically right-handed. That would not fit at all. It would
bring forth a large signal. The full parity Eotvos experiment will be
the algebraic difference of the two, or the sum of the absolute valus
of the two anomalies - if any. Then, the second hemiparity Eotvos
experiment of left-handed quartz vs. fused silica to confirm.

Hey Schultzy - do you wear shoes? Compare the energetics of inserting
your left foot into a left or right shoe. Shall we say 10X
difference?

You don't get around much. If you had any stones at all you'd see
whether Hydride Sponge chelated (-)C(CN)3 or other sterically
unhindered stabilized anions to result in an isolable pentavalent
carbon atom. Triphenylmethide seems kinda crowded, Meldrum's acid
seems kinda kinked. You lab does Schlenkware and glovebox work. A
confirming x-ray structure for an isolable pentavalent carbon
intermediate would kickstart your career, admittedly as an organiker.
The horror, the horror...

The Eotvos rotor will enjoy a *perfect* classical null - balanced to
within a microgram, first and second order moments of inertia
identical to ppm relative; identical chemical composition, density,
and macroscopic form on both sides; single crystal test masses with
identical binding and interfacial energies. It should be the most
perfect null output achievable in any experiment of this kind. The
two gold-plated sides are externally utterly indistinguishable,

http://www.npl.washington.edu/eotwash/m6_2.html
A loaded Eotvos rotor

with one possible exception. That is the experiment's purpose, to
look for an unambiguous parity anomaly in gravitation. We'll know by
first week in August if it nulls, and possibly sooner if it does not.
An entire universe dedicated to large scale synthesis of element 26 is
not without its ironies.

As I see it, the experiment doesn't just test for a violation of the the
equivalence of gravitational and inertial mass, but that the ratio of one to
the other is the same for the test masses.

All matter consists of electrons, neutrons and protons for which the
evidence so far is in favour of these three particles having gravitational
to inertial mass in the same ratio, correct?

So. What other "mass" in this experiment is being looked for which could
violate this constant ratio?

Yeah, I'm an idiot. I know. ;)

Sure. If the ratio is not exactly 1 to 13 decimal places, that is an
EP violation. That's "unequal" if it happens. The two *local* masses
in free fall would have different magntiudes of accelerations, or
pursue non-parallel fee fall trajectories. Real world divergence of
the gravitational field (quadrupole or tidal forces) is removed from
measurablity by locality.

Sure, but you are nowhere near complete in your list. What about
varying chemical or gravitational binding energies? Those are
negative masses,

Not an idiot at all. Everybody since Galileo hasn't done any better.
The last unexamined "different" kind of mass is simple when you see
the answer: Does a left hand fall identically to a right hand? Is
space chiral? Will it display a distereomeric interaction with
opposite parity test masses? Test mass geometry is a good challenge
of spacetime geometry!

All properties in physics are tied to symmetries, 1:1, by Noether's
theorem and other strong correspondences. If you want a list of all
possible pure and fundamental properties, you start by listing all
symmetries,

http://www.mazepath.com/uncleal/eotvos.htm#b21

Internal symmetries, by definition, cannot couple to translation or
rotation (certainly not to first order). Nevertheless, let's list a
lot of divergent properties - the most property one test mass can
have, not the difference in amount between two test masses,

http://www.mazepath.com/uncleal/eotvos.htm#b34

Except for parity (an external property that *does* couple to
translation and rotation and is a rare non-Noetherian symmery-property
couple), it all looks rather crappy. Alas, parity is chirality along
all coordinate axes simultaneously, and there was no way to measure or
calculate chirality. How do you know when you have two intense and
maximally divergent parity test masses for testing?

Starting in 1999 it *was* possible to exactly calculate the parity of
a set of points if their coordinates are known. All atoms in a
periodic crystal have known coordinates (close enough real world,
too). Thinking about the math and calculating a couple of dozen
reasonable x-ray crystal structures, quartz is hot stuff,

http://www.mazepath.com/uncleal/qz.pdf
http://www.mazepath.com/uncleal/qzsparse.png
711 points, end of graphed data is 4.44x10^17 atoms
http://www.mazepath.com/uncleal/qzdense.png
90,386 points in the same intevral.

CHI=0 is achiral. CHI=1 is perfect theoretical parity divergence.
Right-handed quartz is commercially grown on huge scales for
electronics. Left-handed cultured quartz can be obtained. Fused
silica has the same chemical composition (lower density) but is
achiral. We now have three experiments:

1) Right-handed quartz vs. fused silica
2) Right-handed quartz vs. left-handed quartz
3) Left-handed quartz vs. fused silica

(1) has been done. It did not give a clean null, but the net output
was not statistically significant. (2) is having its left-handed
quartz test masses fabricated as you read this. We expect it to kick
off by 01 May and finish by 01 August. (3) is the check on any
non-null result in (2).

We'll know whether a left hand and a right hand fall identically by
early May. Existing theory and observation support both outcomes
exactly equally. Either experimental result is 100% OK. If there is
a reproducible net output,

1) General Relativity is founded upon a falsified postulate.
Affine/teleparallel gravitation takes over. Calculated answers are
the same either way. GR is easier to calculate and is retained as a
heuristic.
2) Lattice quantum gravitation is wrong.
3) 80% of M-theory is wrong.
4) Space is empirically anisiotropic.
5) Lorentz Invariance is falsified.
6) Angular momentum need not be conserved for parity test masses.

Push come to shove, day to day physics applied to the real world
remains unchanged. Theoreticians go apeshit. Big money flows to
Eotvos balance groups. Uncle Al gets smooched by Oprah and the King
of Sweden.

How confident is Uncle Al that it will go his way? You can purchase a
model of the first CHI=1 molecule laser-etched in a 3" leaded crystal
cube. The URL will be posted when the parity Eotvos experiment goes
high order. If it implodes, what the heck - nice paperweight.
Possibly a limited edition of the 3" cube; smaller versions for the
mob with no limit on numbers fabricated.

There are plenty of metric theories that can step into the breach,
should there actually be a breach. Various dual metric theories.
Several others. I'm sure Moffat would love it if your experiment
came out non-null. He might be in Sweden the year after you.

It will be interesting one way or the other.

Theory is a disaster. Everything and its opposite are predicted with
no empirical observations extant to prune the weeds. At least we'll
be able to discard some of it of the Equivalence Principle has a

Gravity is a push to less energy as the universe expands and matter
don't.
Up is a gain in mass just like Einstein told you.
The gain in mass is proportional to evry atom .
The gain in mass is pushing the atom to less.
More mass is one one side of the atom than the other as its parts
change mass at C wile in orbit . The center of the atom is where all te
parts of the atom are falling twards but more mass is falling from one
direction than the other.

I predicted that there is life on Pluto. Therefore there is a 50%
chance that life exists on Pluto. I used this *fact* to convince the
new China Space Agency to send a probe to Pluto to investigate.

Remember this is the same "logic" that stated that his paper was
accepted for publication.

If we can believe Mr (dropout) Schwartz on anything, it appears that at
least 2 journals and 4 referees disagreed with that statement.

They also disagree that the work merits publication.

The fact that Mr. (dropout) Schwartz has any credit whatsoever is a sad
statement on how far sci.physics has devolved over the last 10 years.

The author list of a paper doesn't include everyone who ever worked in
the field. Instead, it is supposed to include those names of people
instrumental to the work presented in that particular paper.

*If* this experiment actually happens and this isn't just another of
Mr. Schwartz' tall tales--and that is a big IF:

the appropriate credit for Mr. Schwartz would be a reference at the end
of either:

[number] A.M. Schwartz, unpublished.

or

[number] A.M. Schwartz, private communication.

Mr. Schwartz has presented his proposal to use chiral single crystals
in at least 3 public forums: (1)his website, (2) usenet and (most
importantly) (3) the APS meeting. Use of the idea is now free for
anyone.

Consider this, does Prof. Adelberger include Eotvos as a co-author on
his papers? Eotvos' work is decidedly incorporated into his
experiments. Does any paper that uses relativity include Einstein as
an author?

The fact that Schwartz is trying to imply he is actively collaborating
with the Chinese team is a sign that the whole thing is in his
imagination.

It's wholly my created and calculated parity Eotvos experiment,
idiot. They are labor, equipment, budget, and experience. Their
payoff is riding in the parade's first float, if and when. How can
you devote four years to whining like an old woman, Schultz, and not

An hour of face-time with those primary researchers at the 2004 APS
national meeting in Denver, CO after I presented my paper. They are
currently looking for polarized test mass pseudoscalar interactions.
The full parity Eotvos experment in quartz has 110,000 times the
active mass of their blob. It's their Eotvos balance. Either they
made the right call or they will be terrifically miffed. Free will is
a bitch goddess.

How about this guys.

If the Eotvos/Parity expe produces null result and Uncle Al didn't

he must change his nick from Uncle Al to Crack Al or QueenofCrackpots".


If the Eotvos/Parity expe produces non-null result and Uncle Al
wiped out 80% of M-theory and go to Sweden. Let's each contribute

How about that :)

I mentioned "Mother of all crackpots" above because all crackpots
have hypothesis waiting to be proven or disproven. Uncle Al has one
too where he expects a non-null results. He used scientific funding
to prove his theory. What if all the crackpots used school funding
to test their theories. Get it. So if Uncle Al expe produces null.
He's wasting our time just like all the crackpots here and even

One one side, you have Mr Schwartz. He has proposed samples. He has
also put forth an extremely overlong discussion of the chirality of the
crystals that is completely useless. The CHI he calculates is a number
no one wants or can use. So, he spent a long time, and a lot of other
people's computer time, to prove that chiral crystals are chiral.
Yawn. Here is a problem for the reader: show a chiral crystal which
does not have CHI=1 (minus some insignificant number) in the bulk. In
10 seconds you can do more than Schwartz did with months of computer
time.

On the other side, you have multiple teams (UW, Irvine, China, Taiwan,
plus teams in the past) who have spent decades studying the subject.
You have Adelberger who not only thought of, but actually tested chiral
samples before Schwartz proposed single crystals. These teams *may*
actually spend months of time and thousands of dollars to test chiral
single crystals.

So, Schwartz didn't have the idea of testing chiral samples first and
isn't a part of doing the experiment. His basic idea is now part of
the public record. Where would you put him in your paper? If the work
gets done, Schwartz has a beef if he isn't cited. If he were put on
the paper as a co-author, it would be Christmas in August for Alan.

This isn't the usual usenet pounding on the goofball. This is a very
reasonable way to operate.

Read qz.pdf. Read the appendix on Green's functions. That one section
demonstrates that Schwartz doesn't understand the basics o the physics
he is putting forth. The rest, the chirality calculation, is useless
nonsense. Poorly performed, poorly presented.

He has a great clue about some statistics. There was a very high
probability that people were going to start asking questions about the
diamond project about now.

Instead, he has succesfully shifted attention to a future deadline and
a different project.

I wonder what he will do to shift attention away from the quartz/eotvos
experiment as we approach Aug. 1?

You are in a win win position. If you find the EP is wrong, aside from a
trip to Stockholm, physics is set upon the paths of righeousness. If
you are wrong and the EP is upheld you can go on and use GTR secure in

NIST rewrote its commercial stereochemistry software after
[6.6]chiralane arrived in my e-mail and their flagship programming
crashed and burned. Tell NIST Uncle Al is a pile of crap. You don't
know the difference between parity and chirality. You don't know the
difference between chiral unit cell contents and crystal lattice
parity divergence. Le Coupe du Roi, fool.

"...who have spent decades studying the subject." 420 years,

http://www.mazepath.com/uncleal/eotvos.htm#b22

No extremal opposite parity test masses have ever been run, not even
once, before this work. There was no way to calculate geometric
parity divergence until 1999. Adelberger is clueless about structural
chemistry as is everybody else in the gild. I talked for an hour with
Adelberger and his main man. You don't know shit from Shinola,
"Thomas Johnson." Adelberger ran MACHINE SCREWS, left- vs.
right-threaded. That was beneath contempt.

There was no way to calculate an extended crystal lattice until Uncle
Al - and I'm not releasing the proprietary software that prepares the
data file for QCM fast execution (thousands of atoms) or the software
that allows quadrillions of atoms to be calculated. Do you think
otherwise, little man? Calculate CHI for GaPO3 to a billion atoms
without Uncle Al. That is a solid 40 seconds work in my PC.

You whine and denigrate the work of two dozen choice people over more
than four years. You contribute nothing, critic troll. You spew and
fume and bullshit without a single literature citation in support.

Listen up, schmuck: We *already* have a non-null result from the
first hemiparity Eotvos experiment. It's the first Equivalence
Principle non-null output anywhere any time under any circumstances.
The full parity Eotvos experiment will be completed by 01 August. It
would have a larger non-null output, and defensibly an order of
magnitude larger. It will be followed by the other hemiparity Eotvos
experiment. The sum of the two hemiparity Eotvos experiments is the
full parity Etovos experiment. It is self-checking.

It's in the bag, you fool. Either the next experiment has a clean
null output or it has a handsomely validated large non-null output.
Nothing you can say and nothing you can do will perturb it in the
slightest. The journal that publishes an Equivalence Principle
empirical parity anomaly and its theoretical justification - my paper,
unchanged - will have the largest impact factor of *any* scholarly
journal, FOR DECADES. Tens of thousands of papers will come gushing
out as fast as academic fingers can burn LaTeX. GR, Lorentz
Invariance, conservation of angular momentum, and QM - all gone with
the empirical EP parity anomaly. Nothing will remain except
heuristics. All theory across physics must be rewritten, with every
paper citing my papers.

All you can hope for now, little man, is that the full parity Eotvos
experiment is a clean null. That happens to be the historic gold
standard of performance. The pooch cannot be screwed.

The main problem I have with all this are the boundary conditions.

For example, Newton's laws approximate GTRs when space is
inertial and v << c. (More formally, if one uses Newton,
one gets an error of approximately gamma = 1 / sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
which is approximately 1 + (1/2)(v^2/c^2) for v << c.

Once Uncle Al's results are verified (I wouldn't be a
peer, admittedly), one might hopefully have a series
of conditions where GTR =~ affine (?) (within a certain
calculable error).

In a way, affine is not replacing GTR, but augmenting it,
in much the same manner as GTR augments Newton. However,
one must know the approximate boundaries.

And of course if GTR is *not* augmented, then we still have
the boundaries, as there is always error in an experiment.
A small error, hopefully -- but AIUI gravity's exponent
has been measured to be 2 ± 10^-17 or thereabouts, but
not exactly 2.

*You* certainly do not. All one has to do is to read through your various

I remember about a decade ago, a team of particle physicists reported some
wonderful discovery. Unfortunately, I don't remember exactly what they
claimed to have discovered, but I do remember that they claimed that their
results was *six standard deviations* from a null result. Guess what?
They had to retract their result when they found out that there was an
unexpected source of systematic error.

No. A null result does not make Al a crack pot any more than the people

You obviously have problems with the definition of a crack pot.

Whatever.
In any event, you are obviously suffering from a severe case of sour grapes.
Al's success raises your bile, and thus you care nothing of the science.
How ever did you get to where you are in life?

The onus is not on me to prove your vacuous statement about Al
"stealing" from other "respected academics."
I do not have to posit a theory as to your pathetic behavior, but will
simply rely on empirical observation that indeed you are an asshole with

a terminal case of sour grapes.

The worthless idea that cannot possibly be valid was heinously stolen
from a number of academic groups - internationally! - that spent
$thousands upon it. Hey Schultzy, at least be credible and citable
(if not certifiable) in your psychoses. Whine that it was stolen in a
CIA black op from your fellow Israelite David Avnir who in turn
discovered it in a chink in the Wailing Wall. Now you've got the
Chinese connection, too.

Hey Schultzy - intergalactic space alien veterinary proctologists
doing their practicum at Earth traded Uncle Al the secret of the
cosmos for a liter of all-organic butternut squash soup with added soy
filler. The joke is on them! Terrestrial protein amino acids are
left-handed. (Glycine got circumcized.)

Hey stooopid Schoenfeld, one need merely demonstrate a useful
synergistic interaction (non-linear summation of individual effects)
non-obvious to one skilled in the art. That's what it did, stooopid
Schoenfeld. Brilliantly so.

The USPTO was after us for years with questions about claimed roach
repellent technology and its applications. The published natural
effect persists for 3-5 days. Our synthetic invention field-tested
for 10+ months with one application. That's a novel and proprietary
synergistic effect, stooopid Schoenfeld. (Clearing the roaches out of
two Hispanic carnecerias in East LA is not merely superior technology,
it's a full fucking miracle from God herself). We then filed an
action stipulating that if USPTO examiners could not figure it out
given the application and dialog thereafter, the invention passed the
qualification for not being obvious to one skilled in the art. The
patent was promptly granted. Yer empirically stooopid, Schoenfeld.

BTW, if your public allegations re slander and/or libel laws incur me
derivative monetary loss, Schoenfeld, my legal counsel will serve you
with civil action seeking compensatory and treble punitive damages
plus fees. It's the money honey, and yours is as green as anybody's.

What Schoenfield wrote was out of bounds. But, you would have a hell
of a time proving any damages in the best of cases. What are you going
to say, some potential customer reads sci.physics and was turned off
because of his opinion? A stretch at best.

You case is far from the best. This patent is basically worthless.
You would have been better off spending the money involved fixing up
your car--or on a roullette wheel.

Let's see, no one ever has used it or really had an interest in it.
You make claims of how useful it was in tests, and how the USPTO was
interested in those results. Odd that they didn't end up in your
patent. It would have made it stronger if you had included that in the
teaching section. However, it is very likely all a lie, so you
couldn't put it in the patent.

You have stated a number of times about how S.C. Johnson were looking
at the patent for application/license. However, since they have an
aversion to making billions of dollars, they passed on the opportunity.
Instead, you were taking it offshore. That's the basic story, right?

Here is why this project of yours is a lie. Ever hear of a
non-disclosure agreement (NDA)? Companies don't like their competition
to know what they are doing, so if they work with an inventor they
first have the inventor sign an NDA. Blathering all over usenet would
be considered a breach of an NDA (duh). The company you were
supposedly working with would have your butt in court faster than you
can say "I'm really smart" (something you can obviously say really
fast. Doesn't make it true, either).

So, you weren't about to license this to some company. It was a lie.

It is this pattern of lies about your projects that make one discount
your tales of collaborations with Adelberger and China.

Thomas.

Amongst all the nonsense in your post, this stands out. It doesn't
need comment: one can just stand back and be amazed.

By the way, you seem to be in disagreement with the referees. This is
either because (a) they can't understand your greatness or, (b) the
paper is not of high scientific quality. It is obvious that we hold
different opinions on the matter.

You had a moderately clever idea suggesting crystals as chiral samples.
Too bad you try to pretend to have done more than you did. It is as if

What an MBA you would make. I am sure that you would recoup court
costs in Uncle Al v Schoenfield. He strikes me as having very deep
pockets.

Mr. Schwartz, I have written a number of patents. It is precisely that
which made me research your case. I saw one of your posts on your
diamond project, and I was amazed that someone could be so stupid as to
make the statements you have made on the subject.

First, your most broad first claim would be "using a molten salt acid
as a medium for growing diamonds". Stating it in public kills that.

Second, every speculation made by anyone else is something you can't
patent.

Third, the US is "first to invent", not "first to file". So if someone
else made your idea work, you could still fight them if you had the
concept first and were making due diligence towards the invention.
However, all your statements about how your management won't support
the project kills your claim of continuously working on the project.

If you weren't fired for your usenet posts on this subject, you would
certainly have been shut up by your management. Since this didn't
happen, we can only conclude that the project is a fake. Of course,
this is an easy conclusion based on years of no results.

It's your M.O. Schwartz. You make huge claims that can't be verified,
then huge excuses when the due dates you give pass without a verifiable
result. What is the excuse going to be for no diamonds this year?
Remember, it has to be such that no one can really prove you wrong.

Personally, I doubt that you even have a job. If you do, it is likely
some very menial tech position where you are not counted on for any
real innovation. You just don't have it in you.

Thomas.

I hope that your thesis advisor is aware of your tendency to quote things
out of context and by doing so distorting their meanings. I raised as
a *possibility* that the "respected academics" whom Uncle Al claims never
to have met will claim that they came up with the idea first and that he
stole it from them. That happens all the time in science. Sometimes these
claims are obviously true, and sometimes, it's unlikely that it will ever
be clear exactly what happened. Just consider E.J. Corey's recent decision
to claim that 40 years ago, Woodward got the idea for what would eventually
become the Woodward-Hoffman rules from him (Corey), never acknowledging his
contribution, and that in essence, the Nobel prize that Woodward and Hoffman
won was stolen from him. Since Woodward is long dead, all that Hoffman can
say is that Woodward never mentioned Corey's name to him.

: I do not have to posit a theory as to your pathetic behavior, but will

:
: Prove me wrong, Mr. Sour Grapes.

Here's a very simple empirical test. I have over the past few years
pointed out a number of occasions on which Uncle Al was mistaken about
something, and on others, provided evidence that he has deliberately lied.
Uncle Al himself has posted that one quality of a "mensch" is his willingness
to admit it when he is wrong. So here's an experiment you can try: find
a *single* example of a case where I pointed out an error made by Uncle
Al, or of a lie that he told, in which he retracted his statement.

Your inability to find one (and you will not be able to find one -- trust me)
will be evidence for my explanation, namely, that while I respect his
abilities as a technician and admit that his knowledge of organic chemistry
is far greater than mine ever will be, his propensity to make errors in
subjects with which he is unfamiliar and (much worse in my opinion) his
tendency to tell lies when the facts are not on his side mean that a naive
reader (in the sense of one who has little experience with usenet) should
be very careful in accepting anything out of hand that Uncle Al says.
Furthermore, as someone who was trained to be a scientist, I find a person
who deliberately lies about scientific findings to be of questionable
morality at best.

Now the question that remains unanswered in my mind is what kind of
mental illness possesses you to want to be such a person's tochis-lecker
in chief? And if Uncle Al is as smart as you think he is, how do you
manage to ignore his pathological need to "prove" it by such means as
repeatedly responding to posts of people like Archimedes Plutonium (to
the point of posting what was probably an actionable slander) posting his
Minesweeper scores?

I don't "follow him around" -- I only report on the mistakes (there is

demonstrably deviations from reality) that I happen to see. And I explained
why, although it is clear, alas, that you have no idea why lying is a

Bullshit, Mr. Sour grapes. You pop into various threads of his to snipe

Don't you have work to do at your university?
Don't you have to teach (shudder) or do research (laugh)?
You obviously have too much time on your hands if you have the time to
follow Al around bitching about what he does.

Let this wash over you. Uncle Al can defend himself if he sees a
need to do so. These guys simply "pick on" what they see as
naive UA groupies. Once you stop the "tit for tat", they walk

Oh... I touched a nerve there. Why don't you go and do some more
research rather than wasting your time following Al around? Can you
answer that or will you sidestep the issue again, Mr. Sour Grapes?

So I take it you agree that you have better things to do than follow Al
around?
If you can see the negative in what I do, you should be able to see it
in what you do. Or are you of the college of "do as I say not as I do?"

So, 2 years ago he was "going offshore". Well, I for one am glad that
he was able to find someone to manufacture his roach repellant. It
sure has made life in the third world better. Since Alan hasn't been
bragging about all the money he is making on this, we must assume that
he is donating the profits back to help the third world. He will
probably be the first person to win a Nobel Peace Prize the same year
that he wins the Nobel Prize in Physics.

Don't knock it--that has just as much probability as him winning the
Physics prize for qz.pdf.

Alan was never working with S.C. Johnson, he was never going offshore.
He never tested it on a carniceria. He had a moderately clever idea,
and proved that the USPTO will grant a patent with no proof that it
actually works.

The USPTO never required a working model, except in the case of perpetual

motion machine. I could get the exact citation if you're interested.

By the way Mr. Schwartz, statements like this demonstrate that you are
making it up as you go along.

In a patent, one has to present enough information to "teach" the
invention to someone of moderate skill in the art. You argued that
even given the application *and* futher explanation, people can't
"figure it out". Oops, that would invalidate the patent.

The whole Schwartz/groupie dynamic is odd.

First, there are these groupies who jump to defend Alan's honor. Many
of them have made statements about how they don't understand qz.pdf,
but they will take offense at any statment against it.

It is a matter of faith--believing that which one can not see or
understand. This is odd since many of these same people will join in
with Scwhartz when he attacks people of religious faith.

Second, there is Alan himself. He seems to definitely enjoy the
admiration, even though he will treat some of the groupies with
absolute contempt. It must be an empty existance, knowing that the
only acclaim you can get for your work is from those who don't
understand it.

Aw Schultzy, your fear stinks. You are drowning in elegant esoteric
confabulation with metal carbonyls about which nobody will ever give a
rat's ass, punching all that computer time with all those QM
calculations, big basis sets, spectrometry... It's like a girl
discovering her Harry Potter flying broom with its vibrating handle
can do some really neat stuff with her crotch while the batteries
hold, and then learning that her big sister is getting head. In the
meanwhile, the whole of physics could pivot about some quartz hanging
in a vacuum chamber. Rocks, Schultzy, common rocks could get the big
bold headlines everywhere on Earth for a long, long time.

Tell us, Schultzy, what do you fear most? That what could be the
defining moment in science for the next century sprang forth from a
trivial question ANYBODY could have asked? That Uncle Al has a full
fat 50% chance for fast track invitation to an 11 December party in
Sweden and you are academically buried for rest of your life? That
the whole thing was done by volunteers who never met, never filed any
paperwork, never kissed superiors' ass, had no expectation of
reimbursement and enthusiastically pitched in anyway... That they
pretty much don't care one way or another about the final result
because it was a fun thing to do? Or is your big snit that you cannot
understand it at all?

That's it, isn't it? qz.pdf is kinda obscure in its parts and pretty
much 100% of pertinent personnel say it's a bunch of hooey. Yet a
respected academic group is pursuing it on the strength of a single
e-mail from a stranger who is not in their gild. Worse, the first of
the two minor experiments gave an output hovering hard by the edge of
success and now, AND NOW the major experiment is coming on-line.

"The avalanche has started. It is too late for the pebbles to vote."
What does it feel like to be impotent, Schultz? You can piss and moan
and rant and rave and the experiment will be executed regardless by
folks who embrace the science not the scientist. By 01 August or
thereabouts the empirical answer will be obtained. There is a clean
50% chance the Eotvos rotor will have hung in absolute isolation for
90 days with no periodic torsional movement to one part in ten
trillion difference/average. That is the expectation, the safe place
to put your bet, after 400+ years of Equivalence Principle
challenges. Nobody has ever done better. Nobody would be surprised.

You are defective as a scientist, Schultz, when you publicly declare
not looking through Gailileo's telescope would banish Jupiter's moons.

There is clean 50% chance the Eotvos rotor will have hung in absolute
isolation for 90 days with a periodic torsional movement to as much as
3 parts-per-trillion difference/average, 30X Eotvos balance theshhold
sensitivity. No observation in any venue at any scale in the past
400+ years would be contradicted. Abundant orthodox physical theory
exists that supports such a result. Physics will discard now
falsified theory, demoting it to a heuristic for ease of computation
in all but the aberrant case, and move on.

Here's the bottom line, boy:

1) If the full parity Eotvos experiment in quartz nulls within
experimental error, no harm no foul. It's physics as usual. The
chemist does other things. The mathematician gets a citation.
Physics knows by demonstration that extremal parity pair test masses
fall identically within experimental error, as do all chemical
compositions. Einstein is still the golden boy.

2) If the full parity Eotvos experiment in quartz does not null
within experimental error, Einstein was wrong. Among other heady
developments, Uncle Al will enjoy excerpting your Usenet posts when he
starts his dinner lectures with an audience chuckle.

Hey Schultzy, would you rather a goy - a schvartze! - was riding this
race? Wait a second... Snigger.

There is no need to "defend" himself. He isn't in court or a fight.
Keep some perspective--this is usenent, not the real world.

I will agree that Schwartz can raise the volume in a flame-war until
the other side quits. However, when presented with discussions which
demonstrate technical flaws and inconsistencies with his work, he tends
to go quiet.

> These guys simply "pick on" what they see as
> naive UA groupies.

Typically, I don't really care to deal with his groupies. If you want
to admire Schwartz, you have my pity. That isn't even the typical
usenet insult--I seriously pity anyone who looks up to Schwartz for his
technical ability. Qz.pdf is truly that bad.

> Once you stop the "tit for tat", they walk

Actually, we go away laughing. Schwartz really is that funny. His
lies and poor attempts at science area really laughable. His attention
grabbing projects (roach repellant, diamonds, eotvos experiment) are
filled with obvious lies.

> They *have* to have the last word.

I guess you are correct, I just put in what may be the last word. I
feel properly chastised.

Schwartz likes attention--any attention. He knows that no matter how
clear the arguments are that his work is bunk, people like you will
come to express support. In the end, I have brought more attention to
Schwartz. He's gotta love that.

Is this the Thomas J. Johnson
who at one time posted to Usenet
from the address tjohnson@orion.
ac.hmc.edu ?

Under the hotmail address there's
not much to support statements in
this current thread. Adding in
what can be found under the orion...
address leaves me sceptical of your
boasts.

Googling the name and part address
doesn't supply anything of value.

Are you the computer nerd; in what
capacity? Have you criticized Dear
Uncle's use of the language when
he waxes geekish regarding the
computational methodology and hardware
in thencontext of the Eotvos project.

Seems to me, this might be the only
place you would have the credentials
giving you some credibility.

Have you a need to correct my floozy
logic and provide concrete details?

..... ahahaha... but, Thomas your notions sound only like a

& THINK & realize that you are beginning to experience now

Your perceived/hoped for intellectual achievement means

Now, that you are with your own convictions on the rack which
you usually reserve for all your goys, idiots, Schvartzers and
wogs, it will help you a great deal to justify your stance since
(in your words) you are "severely gifted" dude that is "socially

I have read enough of Schwartz' old posts to realize that it would be
impossible to get him to go away crying. Schultz was able to get him
to sorta leave sci.chem alone for some time, but as long as he has a
soapbox Schwartz will use it.

I took it as a game to see how many of Schwartz' pet projects could be
proven fake. He tries hard to make his stories untestable. Too bad he
just doesn't make sense.

diamond project--fake
licensing/developing the cocroach patent--fake
chiral eotvos "theory"--fake
chiral eotvos project with Adelberger--fake
Chiral eotvos project with Jun Luo--ongoing?

Sure, a group in China is on the verge of a history making experimental
result. Instead of publishing it in a journal and/or making a press
release to the Chinese state press, they chose to let Schwartz--a guy
that they have never even spoken with--announce it on usenet. Sure.
That's what I would do.

Anyway, Schwartz has already made his "does it burn" post. From
reading his past tirades, that is basically his "Checkers" speach.
I.e. this thread has run its course. Someone in the future can read
this after Alan's 5th, "final", eotvos anouncement. That should come
somewhere around 2010, right after his 10th "final" attempt at the
diamond synthesis. A whole new group of people will slavishly follow

obvious lies. Schwartz still will have accomplished nothing. The
names will change, but the rest will remain the same.

Why should I fear that? And why should you think that I would fear that,
since I have stated on more than one occasion that I think that your idea
is interesting and that the experiment is worth doing?

On the other hand, what do *you* fear most? That you might have to admit
that you are not infallible? That you might have to admit that your
constant desire for attention -- *any* attention, negative or positive --
is indicative of immaturity at best and mental illness at worst? If
not, then why is it that in spite of your own definition of a "mensch,"
you have not once even acknowledged a single one of the instances in which
you have been caught in a mistake (e.g. not knowing the difference between
"exothermic" and "endothermic") or a lie (e.g. misrepresenting your sources
about the Wisconsin cryptosporidium outbreak or your claim that no federal
agents were killed in the Oklahoma City bombing)?

Once again, I will try to explain to you the statistical fallacy in which
you are indulging. Just because an experiment has two possible outcomes
does *not* mean that the two outcomes are equally likely. In your case,
a rational estimate of the probabilities indicates that your chance of
getting a Nobel prize is very small, since there is no evidence in favor
of the theory that you postulate, your theory cannot predict the size of
the effect you seek, and even if the experiment were to produce a positive
result, there is no evidence that the people who are doing the experiment
have any intention of recognizing your contribution.

It is written by someone who obviously has no knowledge of how scientific
papers are presented, and by someone who either does not understand the
subject himself or has no idea how to explain it to others. As others
have pointed out, your calculation of CHI is completely irrelevant to
the rest of the paper. That's just one example. I've read more than
my share of scientific papers that have been poorly written or are
obviously incorrect. Yours is the only one that I've seen that reads
like the rantings of a schizophrenic, I am sorry to say.

You still don't seem to understand what the term "stastically significant"
means, nor why statistical significance is only *one* criterion used to
determine whether a result is valid.

I'm not sure why it's so important to you that I be the objective
correlative of your own fears of inadequacy, but if you want to continue lying
about me and what I've said, please feel free to go ahead. To paraphrase
the famous fictional detective Phillip Marlowe put it, it's boring,
but it doesn't hurt my feelings any.

Don't know, so won't comment.

Actually, not.

I see you have the sour grapes nearly as bad as the other Asshole...

It did not occur to me at the time of that posting that google group
archives and usenet mirror sites would provide high google page rank to
your patent number and that post. In the improbable event that a
potential investor is lured onto that statement, my rebuttal post
should clarify any questions raised by the original post. Although, my
recollection at the time of the posting was that of a statement made by
none other than yourself a few years back saying something along the
lines that the work leading to your patent came largely from someone
else. Since I could not find such a post on the usenet archives after
several attempts to find it, I thus conclude that my recollection was
erroneous.

I seriously doubt though, that anyone takes this newsgroup remotely
serious.
