You can't take away from nothing!
Real numbers represent quantities. Negative numbers are
only relative to greater values than their absolutes.
The so called "below" zero can only be real in taking away from the
positives and only if their absolute values are less than or equal to
the positives(reals) that they are being taken
away from.

So far as pure mathematics is concerned, real numbers don't represent
anything. They just _are_.

When mathematics is applied real numbers may be used to represent
quantities ("model" seems to be the word preferred over "represent") and
in that case what you do with them will depend on what you are
modelling. Some things modelled by real numbers may not be
(appropriately) modelled by negative numbers.

Oh, I see. You are so stupid you think that "nothing" means 0.

"Nothing" doesn't have a value, 0 or anything else.

Anything added to nothing or taken away from nothing results
in nothing.

1 + nothing = nothing
nothing - 1 = nothing

Anything compared to nothing is FALSE, including comparing
nothing to nothing.

1 < nothing is FALSE
1 = nothing is FALSE
1 > nothing is FALSE

nothing < nothing is FALSE
nothing = nothing is FALSE
nothing > nothing is FALSE

"Sorry results"? You think "nothing" SHOULD be 0?
So when I try to determine the elevation of the water
table above sea level

WaterTableElevation (MSL) = TopOfCasingReference - DepthToWater

for a well I DIDN'T measure, I should should simply use 0?

405 - 0 = 405

which implies the site is under water since the water
table appears to be flush with the top of the well
casing which sticks up from the ground surface by
three feet.

Whereas the correct interpretation of "nothing"

405 - NULL = NULL

tells me (correctly) that the water table elevation at
this point is unknown and that will cause the contour
map generator to interpolate around this point rather
than draw the sorry conclusion that the site is flooded.

I don't know about the people who are concerned with what you are doing,
but for me claimimng that

A vague concept that confuses fools like Nick.

> "NULL"

The proper concept of "nothing" as defined in a SQL database.

> and "unknown"

The real world implication of the proper concept of "nothing".
The water table table elevation itself exists, the measurement
of that elevation does not. The non-existence of a measurement
does not imply the non-existence of the elevation.

A measurement of NULL means the elevation is unknown yet exists.
Therefore, the proper recourse is to interpolate rather than
use a number that is flat out wrong.

It is and causes much wailing and gnashing of teeth amongst
those who do not understand the concepts and yet expect me
to retrieve their data for them.

Luckily for them, they have a resource who doesn't sit in an
ivory tower fretting over how math relates to the real world.

Math without negative numbers would be grotesquely convoluted.

As a simple example, try to give a general formula for obtaining
the (positive) roots of a quadratic equation without making any
intermediate use of negative numbers. Ditto for real roots
without using complex numbers.

Whatever one's ontological commitments, one cannot argue
with the fact that use of negative numbers serves to greatly
simply the derivation of many results about positive numbers,
just as complex numbers do for real numbers, etc.

Almost all extensions of number systems were motivated by
analogous considerations. In fact many of these extensions
are special cases of general types of "closures", which serve
to "complete" the system in some way or another, with the
consequence that certain classes of problems become simpler.

To say that negative numbers don't exist is a red herring. Negative
numbers are no more real than positive numbers. And no less real. But
debt can be represented by negative numbers, just as assets are
commonly represented by positive numbers. That doesn't mean debt is
inherently a negative number-- it's just a convention to associate it with
a negative number. And it doesn't mean an asset is inherently a positive
number-- it's just a convention to associate it with a positive number.

No! Real numbers can be embedded in the complex numbers, but that does
not make them complex.
Integers are equivalence relations on pairs of natural numbers Z ~
{n_i, n_j} ~ {n_x, n_y} iff n_i plus n_y = n_x plus n_j; their
premature introduction allows mathematicians to conflate subtraction
with negation, and to assume that only "fields" matter.
Unsigned rationals are equivalence relations on ordered pairs of
natural numbers (Landau) Q+ ~ {n_i, n_j} ~ {n_x, n_y} iff n_i times n_y
= n_x times n_j.
Unsigned continuous numbers (the half-line including zero, I call them
"primal numbers") are the completion of the unsigned rational numbers
by some axiom of continuity.
Real numbers R are equivalence relations on pairs of primal numbers
{p_i,p_j} and include positives, negatives, and "real zero". The choice
R={p_i,p_j} and -R={p_j,p_i} is an axiom that defines "-". The rule "-"
times "-" = "+" arises from the use of the C2 group as the
multiplication table for pairs of primals.
Complex numbers are equivalence relations on pairs of real numbers;
multiplication of four primals using the C4 group gives the rule "i"
times "i" = "-", and leads to the polar representation of complex
numbers as the Argand diagram, x^2+y^2 = r^2, theta = Arctan[y/x].
Multiplication using the Klein group, K, gives the rules "i" times "i"
= "+", "k" times "k" = "+", "ik" times "ik"="+" and the hyperbolic
representation of "Study numbers", x^2-y^2=u^2, phi=Arctanh[y/x]. Both
the x and y axes have real coefficients. According to Derek's logic,
"All real numbers are also Study numbers"!
Negative numbers are always real, by the definition of real numbers.
Real numbers (including negatives and real zero) are a convenient
representation (that involves a loss of information) on pairs of primal
numbers when their multiplication table has 2-fold (C2) symmetry. K has
C2C2 symmetry, and so has two real coefficients. C4 has C2 as a
symmetry and as a factor group, and so it has a real coefficient,
together with a complex coefficient represented by a real number
multiplied by the sign "i".

I have a long standing offer to bare my arse on this ng, if anyone can

In nature, there exist 1 or 0 ONLY! (-1) refers to "less than" a
greater, and without exception, when a calculation leads to a net less
than zero result, human error is involved. (Usually an assumption based
on a false premise, or by an arbitrary coordinate from which
measurement was done was incorrectly placed).

I have -3 coins in my pocket because, unwilling to be straight-jacketed by
mindless conformity, I am comfortable with associating each coin with the
left side of the number line rather than the right side.

The only reason to bare your arse on this newsgroup is because you think
positive numbers have some kind of physical reality that negative numbers
don't. Neither have a physical reality. They are associated with stuff
by human decisions. You can count with positive integers once you decide
that something needs to be counted and what criteria define a unit, but
they don't have to be positive or real. That's up to you.

Do you think a distance of +2 is any more "physical" than a distance of
-2? It's a convention to assign positive numbers to distance! Distance
doesn't intrinsically have a number, it's just a geometrical property.
The association of numbers with a distance is not physical, it's all

Real numbers don't represent just any quantities, they represent points
on the real number line. Negative numbers represent not just points on
the line, but a paticular direction relative to a certain point named
0. Just like anything in math - it has a meaning if we *give* it one.
That's why you see so much fuss over definitions. Now if you don't like
the language they use in terms or negatives then feel free to make of
your own system of axioms and definitions without them, but in the
meantime there is nothing strange or odd or boring about the status quo
and I'll happily continue to subscribe to it thank you. :)

All well and fine! Just understand that after your journey, when
measurement or calculation shows a net (- miles travelled), that shows
where you ARE, as opposed to the reality of the distance travelled.
All this doesn't matter much, UNTIL you look at the Lorentz Transforms
for length, and discover that he REVERSED the SIGNAGE halfway through
(ref direction of train and light pulse). That is a slight-of-hand

This again is a lead into Lorentz (Fitzgerald) contraction, which even

About the same time, three women from Hobart vowed to eat shark every
meal for a year, as a rebuttal to scare-mongering about mercury
content. AFAIK, they are all perfectly well

Simply because the problem is that you are an idiot without the
simplest grasp of algebra. Your constant whining about neagtive numbers
is evidence enough of that.

Awww... shame. Try "bait".
You've been using negative bait, which is not real.

| What I am trying to get to, is the establishment of distance on the x
| axis
| (the +2 and -2 positions).

I thought you said the -2 position wasn't real. I'm confused now.


| Then I consider points A, B on the axis,
| which are subjected to exactly the same motion (simultaneous
| accelleration for the same time period), and now be convinced by the
| DHR's that A', B' are closer together than formerly.

Ah, well, that's what DHR's do, you see. They are ALL phuckwits, but
-2 is as real as +2.

| So long as you
| ignore the HISTORY of the motions which got you home from the shop,
| that simple omission allows the DHR crap to continue.

Then send all the DHR's to Alaska.
When I go fishing, I use attractive bait.
I caught a DHR but it was a little one so I threw it back.
This is the technique:

One very traditional way to measure permittivity is using a parallel
plate
capacitor. Neglecting edge effects, the capacitance is C=eA/d
where e is the permittivity, A is the area, and d is the distance
between
the plates.
Measure the capacitance, and you have the permittivity.
I wrote:
Ok, Now reduce the area to a point, say one atom at the end of a needle.
Apply some large voltage (say 1,000,000V) between the needle and a
plate (any area). Start with d large, say 1 kilometre. Gradually
reduce d.
What happens?

Anyway, I'd say that about the same thing would happen if you brought

the fields became large enough to get fun stuff like arcing, ion wind

See, now that fish has gone to Alaska. You must use the bait the fish
likes.
Of course it's only a little one, I'd throw it back.

[snip crap]

If you follow threads from March 1999 when Androcles posted the
orginal bug in relativity you will see an increasingly hysterical and
vicious collusion of bitter little people who deny the process of
scientific inquiry and are utterly rabid about the disclosure being
done. They literally drool foaming spit.

They don't care about the results. They scream, threaten, and attempt
assassination to prevent the disclosure from ever taking place. What
do they fear? They fear their own exposure as the small people they
are.

The critic trolls and idiot vituperators have lost. Androcles
has all his ducks in a row - raw theory, support, calculation, public
disclosure, and no army. Not even the final result remains.
LITLE PEOPLE LIKE UNCLE SNIPCRAP HATE THAT and will
throw any tantrum and invent any lie to prevent the inevitable.

They cannot prevent the inevitable. The disclosure proceeds and the
final knowledge will be had. A null result is the historic Gold
Standard
of performance, but the truth is a Platinum result. The net result is
the
trivially reproducible falsification of Special Relativity in existing
mathematics
all over the world. Professionals call this "science." We don't care
what
god-fearing witch burners and wog haters call it.

Credit for a successful disclosure cannot be stolen by an unsuccessful
rogue
researcher.
It's happening. Let the universe decide.
Androcles.

Perhaps while there, lil'Eric will run into uncle al, who will teach
him how to write his name? Funny he caught onto all the other crap, but
can't do that.

Oh! You mean have FAITH: "faith", "the ability to believe bullshit"

Will it bring me everlasting life?

FYI ref math: (-v)^2 = (+v)^2

No, but it will bring you understanding of the stupidity of others and
teach you to pity them as you scorn the stooopid phuckwits, as I do.
After all, it is funny when some idiot steps on a banana skin and
breaks his leg because he didn't look where he was going, but you
still help him up to hobble to the hospital, stepping on his toes and
kicking his shins saying "Oops, sorry, did that hurt?", laughing all
the way.
A smart phuckwit will avoid you, a REALLY dumb phuckwit will
invite more kicks. When the phuckwit is as brain dead as moortel or
Auntie Alice and can't even feel the kicks, it becomes boring.

The phuckwits do, so drop banana skins in their path. Pretend
they are real, and pull the rug out from under them. It's no good
saying "Look, a banana skin!", they'll step around it.

300 K
Kelvins are not degrees. Zero does not exist. Zero is not a number,
if infinity is not. (The first Peano axiom is wrong.) The above
temperature refers to a vector energy, not scalar.

If you want a real negative entity, look up Guth's cosmogonic theory
(mostly real) or Hawking radiation (hardly real). If you want to know
the effects of negative entities, read my treatise on
free_energy@eGroups where I debunk a bunch of scientists and
bystanders.

Would you, Guth, or Hawking, care to put your finger in the power
socket?
Shouldn't be a problem, if those electrons are REALLY "less than zero"
(Hint: (-) is meaningless/imaginary, when referring to 0; as a "less
than" something/number greater, quite useful)
