[Hammond]
It's explained ad nauseaum on my website.. just because you're
too stupid and lazy to read, and of too low intelligence to
understand it in the first place, is not my problem.. it's your
problem. I don't give private tutorials to lab technicians
and morons, sorry.
Just try and answer the question:

1. Why does a horse have 4 feet

When you finally figure that out, you'll know why the quadratic
metric of spacetime causes the human body (and brain) to have
3-orthogonal mirror symmetry planes, and therefore, that:

4D SPACETIME PHYSICALLY CAUSES 4D PSYCHOMETRIC SPACE

just like I said.
Now i'm not going to sit here and listen to some overgrown
moron who claims he's a PhD in physics, but is obviously a
moron and can't understand why the "quadratic metric" of
space causes a horse to have 4-feet. If you're so f---in
stupid that you can't understand that.. you belong in the
skilled trades, not in physics... i don't care who gave you
a PhD. You're an insult to Physics, the spirit of Physics,
the profession of Physics, and the objectives of Physics.

The answer sane people get comes out as something like 'because
reptiles have four feet'.

erhaps you should produce your pretended proof of that, George. After
all, you DO claim to have a PROOF somewhere of your delusional
ravings.

GEORGE YOU ARE SUCH AN IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can you not see that the evidence sited ad nauseum on your website is
ALL just you saying THIS IS SO BECAUSE I CAN SEE THAT IT IS SO - IT IS
OBVIOUS. Could there not perhaps be another reason why horses have
four legs? NO BECAUSE NOTHING THAT DISAGREES WITH THE GREAT SPOG IS
PERMISSIBLE. The reason that nobody in Physics takes you seriously is
because you use terms like "IT IS OBVIOUS FROM THIS...." jumping from
assumption to fact in the blink of an eye. You then persist in
insulting people for not accepting your theory - do you think this
makes it more likely that people will accept your theory or less
likely? Man you are such an IDIOT. I'm starting to think that you
don't care at all about your theory's validity, you just want abuse
from Physicists. Is it something you miss from your college days?

Let me get this right: you're saying it's because of the *fours*
involved in both cases? In other words, 4-d spacetime causes horses to
be 4-footed?

Not only can I read, I can actually understand logic (I hate
to keep rubbing this in George, but I was able to finish
graduate school, and didn't need to take any breaks in
a mental institution).

You don't *prove* anything at your website. You merely
pronounce things true based on your own psychotic
delusion.

Eh, George, if you're trying to intellectually intimidate
me, save your time; you're shooting blanks.

In a battle of wits, you're just plain unarmed, George.

As *many* people have pointed out, George, the human body
has one *approximate* plane of symmetry. If it had
three, you'd have feet on your head and a face on your
back (come to thing of it, I've never actually *seen* you
Geoerge).

I think you need to study the basics.

Why does an insect have 6 legs, George? Do they live
in a different dimension than we do?

Don't care about a PhD, George? but you want everyone
else to be so impressed that you got as far as flunking
out of graduate school.

Make up your mind. Do credentials count, or don't they?

Hey listen bubblebutt... this is no place for women... that space
between your front teeth is so wide someone might back a pickup truck
through it.
Evans said a horse has 4-feet because "reptiles had 4-feet"..
that's the stupidest thing ever... why does he think reptiles had
4-feet? and what's that got to do with a Chevrolet having 4-wheels
for christs sakes... you're gonna tell me a car has 4-wheels because
of "Evolution".... don't be stupid.

No... not quite. Remember "4D space" consists of "3D space" plus
the time dimension, 3+1=4. So "real space" is 3D (as you can see
by looking around the 3D room your sitting in).
A "surface" in 3D space is 2D, like the surface of the Earth, upon
which a horse walks. A 2D surface has 2-axes (X and Y for instance).
In order to prevent "rotation" w.r.t. the plane, two points on each
axis must be fixed, and 2x2=4 which is why a horse has 4-feet, or
why an automobile has 4-wheels. It has NOTHING TO DO with "Evolution",
or "Natural Selection", it is caused by "axiomatic geometry".
BTW, all of this is caused by the fact that real space is "Euclidean".
Euclidean Geometry is just the geometry of "rigid body rotations"
(i.e. "rotation" as in the sense used above in the case of a horse
falling over). It turns out that "rigid rotations" and "Euclidean Geometry"
ONLY EXIST for a "Quadratic Metric" (commonly known as the pythagorean
theorem).
Therefore, Hammond is correct when he say, "a horse has 4-feet because
of the quadratic metric of real space".
Now, I have to "explain" this to you dinks, because you are not
physicists,
in fact there are PhD physicists who don't know it... only a
"competent" physicist, like Feynman, Hawking, etc. actually KNOW THIS.

You're a superficial moron and an asswipe. You're
asshole is a mirror image of your mouth or haven't you
noticed)... that's the 2nd axis of symmetry (you admit
the first one).
The 3rd axis is Dorso-ventral, naturally you're too
much of an uneducated asswipe to know it, but the entire
CNS is "mirror symmetric" dorso-ventrally, the front being
motor, and the back being sensory, and the motor-sensory
cortex is MIRROR SYMMETRIC across the central fissure.
you're a slow witted, mental retard and an aggravated
asswipe... I'd go nuts talking to you, you talk so slow.

This doesn't make any sense whatsoever. So how do you account for insects
then, which have 6 feet? Or spiders? Or centipedes? Crabs? What about
animals with no legs?

When did geometry become causal?
Wouldn't the existence of motorcycles, using your logic, disprove the

Yes! (Well except that centipedes don't have 100 legs). But this does
explain why we find them so repulsive. It is a well known fact...(HEY,
LISTEN to me or I'll slap you around)...that all superdimensional entities
are, by their very nature...(are you still listening? you'd BETTER
be!)...fundamentally UGLY. This much is OBVIOUS! Any INTELLIGENT person
would recognize this fact without being told. And remember whenever I write
to you again, that I MEAN for you to PAY ATTENTION...OR ELSE!!!

As I said, the first one is only approximate, unless
you are ambidextrous and born with two hearts, livers,
spleens, etc (as I said, I've never seen you...).

I thing the asshole-mouth symmetry only applies to
you, George. Most of the human race is quite *asymmetric*
front to back.

Whatever approximate symmetries may exist in the central
nervous system, it remains that the body itself is
not the least bit top-bottom, or front-back symmetric
(your personal asshole-mouth symmetry notwithstanding).

I recommend you pick up an introductory textbook and
look up the proper definition of "plane of symmetry",
and a lot of this confusion will clear up.

You clearly said "four", not "minimum of four". But OK, I've
heard thorazine makes you forget things, so I'll stipulate
"minimum of four". In that case, George, what about worms?
You should really think things through, George. Just ask
yourself "What would Gregor Mendel do?".

Hi, George. I'm Britt. I'm new here and have noticed how many colorful
invectives and insults you use. I fear I have missed many that you may have
used before. Will you continue to use them, so I can see them all? I
thought, since you have claimed to be one of the very few truly intellectual
people around here, that I might emulate your conversational methods, as
this will give my reputation a fighting chance of climbing higher on the
ladder of scholastic credibility and influence...like you have done.

As far as God is concerned...don't you think God has a better chance of
survival if he remains a matter of faith? Claiming some scientific proof of
God would merely condemn him, (it), to an eternity of mundane physicality.

Britt

What about birds and people? I count two legs for them. And the last
time I checked, two was less than four.

That reminds me of a "Science Joke"

A scientist was doing an experiment on a frog.
He put the frog on a table and said "Jump frog, jump!" The frog jumped 20
feet.
He cut one of the frogs legs off, and repeated the experiment - this time
the frog only jumped 15 feet.
He cut a second leg off. This time the frog jumped 10 feet.
Cuttting the third leg off, caused the frog to move only 5 feet.
He cut the last leg off the frog, and this time the frog didn't jump at all.
His Conclusion: When you cut all a frog's legs off, it goes deaf.


*Disclaimer. No Frogs were hurt in the production of this joke.....*

Don't be an idiot.... those 2 wings were originally legs.

You're an imbecilic dork... here is a TEXTBOOK picture
of the generalized vertebrate body plan:

http://home.attbi.com/~ghammond/FIG2AN3.jpg

Now what the f--- is wrong with your mind? CLEARLY in this
diagram there are:

THREE INTERSECTING ORTHOGONAL PLANES:

1. The Median Septum
2. The Horizontal Septum
3. The Transverse Septum

The vertebrate body is MIRROR SYMMETRIC across ALL THREE of
these symmetry planes. And, these 3 PLANES are continued
right up the axis and into the skull, where they form the:

1. Medial Fissure
2. Central Fissure
3. Neuraxial Cleavage

OF THE BRAIN, which cause the 3-eigenvectors, E,N,P, in Psychometry
Space.
Now if you're so blind so as to not be able to see this
diagram... go see an eye doctor.. because you don't know what
the fu-- you're talking about.
And furthermore, you're observations and thinking is SO SUPERFICIAL
as to make you sound like an IDIOT... which is what i suspect you are.

Worms don't have legs... the statement only applies to animals
that HAVE LEGS...dorkus infinicus
And i don't believe you have a PhD either..... you're TO FUC---

Do you know how many amateurs I've been through this argument with

Hey... newbies.... this discussion has already taken place 100

WHY THERE ARE NO 3 LEGGED ANIMALS

For animals that have legs; 4 is
the minimum number of legs.

A CENTIPED has 100 legs, remember dork?

Subaru and Mitsubishi both use the name "Evolution" for the super-fast
models of cars that they run in the world rally championship. Both
cars not only have four wheels, but also have four-wheel drive. A
coincidence? I think not.

Further linking of animals and cars can be found at Ferrari, where
four-wheeled cars have a picture of a four-legged horse on the badge.
They don't have four-speed gearboxes any more, though, so the nexus is
breaking down.

What about fuel dragsters, which have really big wheels at one end and

Horses evolved 4 legs as one means of moving across the "axiomatic geometry"
(roughly flat surface) of the ground. Insects developed 6. We ended up with
two. All three adaptations work. You're just applying your new terminology
to the obvious, then declaring that this somehow "prooves" all sorts of
purely hypothetical and/or trivial things.

Are you going to deal with millipedes?

So, then, insects dwell in a sextic metric? Spiders in an octic metric? They
live in some alternate reality with 4 and 6 dimensions respectively?

Not syurprisingly, George is a sexiost of convenience...Prof. Arturo
demonstrates that she is qualified as both a physicist (wich a better
pure physics degree than his) and a theologian (with a doctorate on
the interaction of physics and theology), so he decries her for being
a woman. Stuill pretending that George doesn't start from the get-go
with random insults, Tom?

Because finned fish have 1 pair of caudal fins and 1 pair of pectoral
fins.

Indeed, using your methods WOULD be stupid, George. Sane people know
that your methods produce nonsense. Sane people also know that cars
have 4 wheels because that is the simplest design that produces a
well-performing vehicle in the normal weight range of passanger
vehicles.

Actrually, ALL insects have 6 legs. If it doesn't have 6 legs, it's
some other kind of arthropod, since 6 legs is part of the body-plan
definition we use in clasifying something as being an insect or not.

Actually, I think if you were to work out the physics of the thing, I
think you would find that with 4 legs, a walking gate allows the
animal to stay stable by only moving 1 foot at a time off the ground
and still have 3 feet on the ground, ensuring stability.

The central fissure, for the benefit of those people (like George)
with no familiarity if brain anatomy, rung from the front to back,
allong the upper surface of the brain, and functions in HUMANS are
distinctly assymettrical accross it. The motor cortex, of course, is
not at the front, it is on the sides and on the top, in the temporal
and parietal lobes, mostly, as is several of the sensory processing
areas. The optical lobes are at the back, and are, of course,
sensory, since they process visual input. The frontal lobes are where
the consciousness centers are located.

This was after it was ponted out to you that the vast majority of
animals have MORe than 4 legs. Insect have 6. Arachnids have 8.
Centipedes have 1 pair per body segment. Millipedes have 2 pairs per
body segment. Since all of these animals are under the same forces,
there is obviously nothing cvausing animals to have only 4 legs.

That is to say, credentials ONLY matter if you AGREE with George. Too

Suggest you look up Sir Richard Owen's

of symmetry. Either that or just stick to your

This was supposed to show *symmetry*??? In a previous post you stated
that the human body is symmetrical across all three orthagonal axes. Did
you actually mean to say this or did I misunderstand? I feel compelled to
make the following observations:

1) The body is mostly non-symmetrical across the vertical axis that divides
front and back and is *totally* asymmetrical across the horizontal dividing
plane.

2) The symmetry, or lack of such, has absolutely nothing to do with your
own thesis relating spatial and psychometric dimensions.

3) Anybody who can claim symmetry across all three dividing planes is
capable of making up virtually *anything* he wishes, without dependence on
any facts whatsoever. This may make the claimant feel powerfully autonomous
of the restrictions of the real world but it will NEVER serve as a means of
convincing *anyone* of *anything*.

So WHAT???? There are no people with four eyes. There are no buildings that

rain cats and dogs. None of these OR your insistence on four-legged animals
is relevant to any of your subsequent conclusions.

Find me a place where I have called you any name
but "George", George. I'm afraid you're the only
one that resorts to name-calling and obscenity when
you can't put together an honest argument.

Sorry, George. You obviously have no idea what a
plane of symmetry is (hint: it's NOT the same as an
orthogonal axis).

Your stick dog has only one. Your stick dog also
lacks the internal organs that make even that plane only
approximate in a real dog.

You're not paying attention high school science genius. the statement
is:

4-legs is the MINIMUM NUMBER of legs
that any animal has, if it has legs.

In particular, the explanation of this LAW explains WHY, there is
no such thing a 3-legged animal in the animal kingdom.

http://home.attbi.com/~ghammond/3-leggedFAQ.html

the explanation of this law ALSO EXPLAINS why every (multicellular)
Plant and Animal has a "Cartesian, 3-axis, bodyplan":

http://home.attbi.com/~ghammond/BodyplanFAQ.html

which is the basis for discovering the scientific proof of God.

Give me another 4 years and I'll be a true "competent physicist." Don't
worry, I never follow along ignorantly absorbing what professors say, but I
also don't claim that "reason" is the process of "building facts on top of
assumptions on top of assumptions, without providing any experimental

How many different people are we talking about? A couple people from
caltech.edu viewing your website aren't necessarily big shots, but probably
students doing reports on pseudoscience or looking for a laugh.

So you think that's the reason everyone criticizes your claims? We want to
*somehow* look like bigshots? You're forgetting that this is just a

therapods.

Well considering 5 > 4, I wouldn't have used starfish as an example of an
animal having a minimum of four legs, but in the context of all your other
factual errors, I'm not surprised you didn't realise starfish are not 4
legged.

Note too that they have many more times the number of feet than they do
legs. How does that work George?

His embryology is all out of whack, too.

His diagram of the first 3 cleavage planes is *not* representative of
the vertebrate plan, nor is that pattern a necessary one. The fish I
work on, for instance, have a first division plane, then a second that
is orthogonal to the first, and then a third that is *parallel* to the
first, and the 4th is parallel to the 2nd; only in the 5th division do
you get a division plane that is at right angles to both the 1st and
second.

Birds, reptiles, and most insects are even more different, with a series
of partial divisions that generate a syncytial sheet. Molluscs throw out
the right angle business altogether, going through a spiral pattern of
cleavage (except for the cephalopods, which do the syncytial sheet
business). Mammals are just plain sloppy and don't maintain a consistent
relationship between cells. His picture only fits amphibians and
echinoderms.

He's got Roux's experiment all wrong. Yes, Roux got partial embryos when
he killed one of the blastomeres at the 2-cell stage; however, it was an
artifact of his experimental technique, which left the dead blastomere
in place. Later experiments in which the blastomeres were separated
showed that each was totipotent (as long as they contained part of the
grey crescent) and could generate complete embryos. Driesch's
experiments with echinoderms that demonstrated regulation are better
examples of how vertebrate early development works.

His figure 9 <http://home.attbi.com/~ghammond/Fig9.jpg> is rank
nonsense. There is no simple association between the 4 blastomeres of
the early embryo with the D/V L/R quadrants of the spinal cord
cross-section, nor does the Hirose & Jacobson say what he claims it does
-- I was working in a lab that disagreed strongly with Jacobson's
interpretations at the time it came out, did similar lineage tracer
experiments, and was very familiar with those results. Jacobson *did*
argue for a much earlier representation of the fate map on the amphibian
embryo than anyone expected (or that some of us believed), but it would
not fit with Hammond's diagram. Virtually all of the CNS would have been
derived from the anterior pair of blastomeres, for instance.

From what I've looked at, it seems his physics is just as silly and
confused as his biology.

Of *symmetry*? Are you saying that it's top half is mirror-symmetric to
its bottom half, and its front half is mirror-symmetric to its back

I guess that answers my first question. I suppose I'll have to hang

So what, you took a bunch of things of various shapes and drew
Cartesian coordinates on top of them. I could just as easily draw
cylindrical, spherical, or a variety of conformally mapped
systems on top of them and it would be equally valid.

George's proofs always make me think of the Monty Python

the word "dog" crossed out and "cat" written in in crayon".

YOU'RE NUTS. Any jerk can walk up to the fish counter in the
local supermarket and look at a swordfish steak for mimself.
A swordfish steak is a CROSSECTION of the swordfish, and you will
see that there is a BIG CROSS right in the middle and the steak, it
is made up of 4-LARGE QUADRANTS. Also, this pattern is repeated
with each vertebra.. the Cross (2-axes) plus the spinal column
(1-axis) makes up the 3-axis Cartesian bodyplan of the animal.

LIAR... there are "mosaic" and "regulative" eggs. Mosaic
(non regulative) eggs are more primitive evolutionarilly,
and will produce 1/2 and even 1/4 embryos when SEPARATED
in the 2 and 4 cell stages (tunicates are an example). Regulative
eggs are merely an evolutionary advance incorporating totipotency
for and extra safty factor. HOWEVER, the underlying and OBVIOUS
relation between the first 3 cleavages and the cartesian (3-axis)
body plan for ALL PLANTS AND ANIMALS is obvious to a congenital
idiot.

I believe that what the observations of real biology show is that the
orientation of the cleavage planes into those 3 orthogonal planes is NOT
a significant characteristic of early development. There's too much
variation (which you ignore) between different lineages.

This is simply incorrect. Mosaic vs. regulative development is a
continuum, first of all, and it's best not to try and pigeonhole
organisms inappropriately. It is also most likely that regulative
development is the *primitive* condition. Mosaicism tends to be found in
more highly derived organisms, and probably evolved with the appearance
of redundant and maternal factors that improve the fidelity of
development.

Like I said, there is a great deal of variation in the pattern of the
first 3 cleavages, so this is extraordinarily unlikely. Birds, as an
extreme example, don't cleave anything like you've described, instead
forming a blastodisc of cells that are incompletely separated from the
yolk. Flies don't even bother with any kind of cellular division in the
early stages -- nuclei just replicate, then migrate to the surface of
the egg, and ingression of the cell membrane then secondarily isolates
individual cells.

Vertebrate eggs are NOT, I repeat, NOT mosaic in the classical use of
the term. The existence of an arguable fate map is NOT evidence of
mosaicism.

You seem to have your claims muddled up. Are these embryos mosaic, or
are they symmetrical in 3 planes? Those are contradictions, you know.

Roux's experiment was flawed, as he himself readily admitted. Conklin's
work on ascidians illustrated the existence of *asymmetric*
distributions of cytoplasmic determinants in certain organisms. Nobody
is ignoring mosaicism here...you're just trying to cling to an erroneous
picture of development because it fits your rather bizarre
preconceptions.

So what - I only have one.

But you still have not addressed the fact that

a. birds have two legs.
b. birds are animals
c. two < four
d. who's not paying attention?


GH: Hey asswipe... i said 4 is the "minimum" number of legs

More than scheduled, it happened. There's a quicktime video of the event
online.

They treated him with a kind of patronizing mockery. Ray was completely
oblivious to it.

...if you look really really close, you'll see a big Jesus condiment on that

Too bad those videos have been pulled. Sounds entertaining.

Because most animals are bilaterally symmetrical, which means that an
even number of legs is optimum. Not all animals have 4 legs though.
Snakes, eels and snails, among others, have none. Birds and humans
have two. Most mammals have four, because their ancestors (amphibians
and reptiles) already had four, and evolution never selected against
it. Four is both efficient and effective, as it's kind of difficult
-- though not impossible -- to walk on two legs, literally lurching
and falling from one leg to the other. Four allow at least two points
of contact at any one time. Nothing magical about that. Also, some
have six or eight or more.

Some animals that are radially symmetrical have no legs/appendages
(jellyfish) or five appendages (star fish). Only in radially
symmetrical animals does an odd number of legs make sense in the first
place, and there aren't that many radially symmetrical animals on
earth. They are mostly confined (as my examples show) to aquatic
ecosystems. Mammals with legs, living on land, aren't radially
symmetrical at all, and THAT is why there are no three-legged animals.

Not because of your pseudoscience.

Wow! Plants and animals are 3-dimensional! How novel!

Why can't it be the basis for proving anything which is speculative? Please
prove that it cannot be. Answer this one question, if nothing else! If not,
you have disproven nothing, and you must therefore accept all alternative
theories which might also result from your assertions.

So then, maybe God only meets your specification in a prior larval form?
Which part of your theory states that this is not the case, and what
supports it?
