This newsgroup was created to attract those people away from other
newsgroups, to allow other discussions to occur in those places. You
can review historical archives for the earliest mentions of s.p.r.

The ones you complain about come here for "stroking", to get their fix
of attention on a topic close to their hearts (if not their heads).
Think of this place as a combination emergency room, insane asylum
(Asperger's syndrome spoken here), and for some serious discussion.

I would recommend either sci.physics.fundamentals or
sci.physics.research which are moderated newsgroups for less "fruity"
discussions.

I also highly recommend sci.astro, where some interesting newsbits get
posted by a couple of people, fresh off the press.

However, to go to the moon, does not matter, but to handle the thought of
the creations along the earth, does really matter, as whether, do try to
figure, the mathematics, when it would makes you to step to the topological
algebra -geometry of the space-, how the step to the moon would look for
you, a definitely as a matter a fact.

Be careful with that statement.
If look a bit closer, you will notice that at about 40% of the
crackpots here are moderately good at mathematics and
almost invariably are engineers. There are a tiny few notable
exceptions.
They were never properly trained in physics, never got
relativity theory beyond time dilation and length contraction,
and therefore miserably failed to understand relativity, and
then sadly turned insane over it. The very best example is
Androcles.

Do not follow his advice, he is a sociopath and he

Yes, this NG was in fact created (about 10 years ago) to divert crank
traffic from sci.physics. There are occasional good posts here and I
learned a lot from them - they typically come from a fixed set of
people. If you hang around a bit you'll quickly see who is who.

> 1. E=mc^2 works for matter (not light)

For matter moving at speed v:
E = m / sqrt(1-v^2/c^2) c^2
p = m v / sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)

for m=0 and v=c, these reduce to nonsense:
E = 0/0 and p = 0/0

For light (with m=0 and v=c):
E = h nu (nu = frequency)
p = h / lambda (lambda = wavelength)

For matter moving at speed v *and* for light:
m^2 c^4 = E^2 - (c p)^2
or equivalently
E^2 = (m c^2)^2 + (c p)^2

Can you verify these equations for matter and for light?
What does this tell you about the relationship between
nu and lambda for light?

To understand the behaviour of a photon, you need more than SR.

Not really.
Energy is proportional to frequency, which is inversely proportional
to wavelength.
Momentum is proportional to wavelength, which is < ........ > ?
Can you complete the sentence?

SR corrects Newton where high velocities are involved.
GR corrects Newton where high velocities and gravity are involved.
GR without gravity = SR.
QM corrects Newton where short distances are involved.
QED corrects Newton where short distances and high velocities
are involved.

SR was originally developed to reconcile electromagnetism
with Newton, but SR 'explains' kinematics and dynamics of
neutrons just as well, without ever referring to electrodynamics.

SR is useful for light when light is seen as signals and
pulses, consisting of *many* photons.
It not useful to describe 'single photons'.

N, SR, GR, QM, QED are theories that provide models
to describe, explain and predict what we call, by consensus,
the "facts of nature". Does that sound acceptable?

I stand corrected. In the same direction, two boosts compose a boost.
If the two boosts are in different directions, the result will be
equivalent to a single boost composed with a rotation.

Only with your matheMagic it is. This is exactly what the twin's
paradox addresses. The principle of Relativity which has served the
observation in physics for at least three hundred years needs to be
revised just like the Newtonian law of gravity. The principle of
Relativity does not work under high speed and quantum level. When are
you flat-earthers going to accept that the earth is indeed spherical?

Why are you under the delusion that your misunderstandings have any

problem of additivity of boosts.

Nonsense. This is a clear and well-known property of the Lorentz group.
The "twin paradox" has nothing whatsoever to do with this; it is usually

The twin's paradox comes about because of the combination of the
following two properties of the Lorentz transform.

** Time dilation where observed time of a moving frame under
observation is slowed down

** Principle of Relativity where the laws of physics are the same
regardless what speed the experiment relative to some other observer
is carried out under

In order to resolve the twin's paradox where it does not exist in real
life, at least one of the above two points must be wrong. If your
experiments did allow you to observe time dilation, then the principle
of Relativity must be wrong. That means the Lorentz transform must be
wrong as well. <shrug>

You are very irresponsible to talk about the twin's paradox not having
anything to do with the Lorentz transform with your educational
background.

But it _DOES_ happen in real life. There are numerous experiments that
physically implement the twin scenario, and it is _OBSERVED_ that the
"twins" are not the same age when rejoined.

It's just that in our everyday lives we don't notice the nanosecond
effects of an airplane flight to Disney World and back....

This proves the twin's paradox does not exist in real life. <shrug>

The twins can age differently. This does not mean the Lorentz
transform is valid.

If each twin observes a time dilation of the other, the other must
observe the same amount of time dilation of the other one. This is
dictated by the principle of Relativity.

According to the Lorentz transform, each twin must age differently and
with the same amount of the difference when they meet. Since this is
logically impossible, the Lorentz transform manifests mathematically
the twin's paradox. You (plural) have matheMagically handwaved the
resolution of this paradox for more than 100 years.

The metric being an interpretation to the invariant geometry after
deciding what
coordinate system should be employed to do so has been interpreted as
the geometry itself for over 100 years. Erroneously interpretation of
the metric as the actual geometry has also caused an erroneous
interpretation to the mathematics of GR.

Both points cover the most basics of the mathematics. They are very
simple. They belong to the elementary school level of learning.

Isn't this what people have been saying all along? The twins paradox
is not an actual paradox.

Of course not. All it means is that there isn't a paradox.

That would be true, except the twins are not symmetric. One has to
accelerate.

The resolution lies in the breaking of the twin's symmetry.

I'm still waiting for you to supply two metrics that correspond to two
different geometries while both satisfying the conditions of
Birkhoff's theorem.

Since they are so basic, do you think you can finally tell us where

You sure use words funny. Your usage of "exists" is very strange here.

Hmmm. One agreement with observation does not a theory make. But the
literally hundreds of experiments that probe most aspects of SR, plus
the fact that there is no reproducible and generally accepted experiment
that falsifies SR within its domain of applicability, most definitely DO
mean that SR is valid (within that domain). This of course includes its
Lorentz transform between inertial frames.

Hmmm. One can imagine scenarios in which that is true, but the twin
paradox is not one of them. <shrug>

Hint: to what types of coordinates does the PoR refer?

Utter nonsense. You must LEARN about SR and UNDERSTAND how to apply it.
Your claims here are just plain wrong, and an elementary calculation
displays that quite clearly. <shrug>

No, the principle of Relativity does NOT dictate this. You are making
a brute-force application of a rubber mallet to try to drive a screw.
Fundamental misunderstanding of both the twin puzzle and the principle
of Relativity. If you're stuck on this, then this is where you need to
learn something basic.

Anti-relativity nuts are a virus on just about every unmoderated
science
group, and they often even spread far afield, to computing groups,
religious groups, etc.

This group was created to draw them away from sci.physics, but
it never really worked, since most cross-post to both, and often
others as well. Some have developed elaborate
nym-shifting and cross-posting methodologies to
dodge SPAM filters and killfiles.

There are, however, some extremely good *non*-nuts here, and I've
even posted a few, IMHO, non-nutty posts myself. I
think we do it for several reason:

-For the benefit of lurkers (particularly young lurkers) who
might otherwise think these guys have a valid argument.

-For practice in constructing a scientific argument
for non- scientific people. You'll never convince the nuts,
but you have to pitch things in such a way that
the aforementioned lurkers will understand it.

-To learn things. Often in debunking even the most ridiculous
claim, you'll learn something about science and science
history. And you can learn a lot from some of the the people who
post here.

-(I gotta admit it) Ego! Nothing can make you feel smarter
than reading a post by someone like Pecho Valev :)

Personally, I don't hit this group very often anymore. It
was fun for a while, but pretty soon it started to repeat
itself. You can go away for months or even years and
come back to the *same* people saying the *same* things,
sort of like Howard Stern (the radio guy, not the one
who boned Anna Nicole). I have a theory that
H.E.Retic died several years ago, but left a post-bot
that will run until the motherboard dies.

This is because you have tossed out the principle of Relativity when
interpreting all these experiments. This principle is the foundation
that SR resides on.

The fact that the experiment did bring the twins back together (that
1970's aircraft experiment for example) with different aging falsifies
the principle of Relativity and thus the Lorentz transform and thus
SR.

Lorentz transform predicts the twin's paradox. Therefore, it is
absurd right off the start. <shrug>

This is a fine example of turning your back on the principle of
Relativity. After refuting the principle of Relativity, you have no
right to claim validity in SR. <shrug>

On the contrary, you really need to go back to Galileo's time and
understand the principle of Relativity. Then, compared to the modern
observations in which your own laboratory has provided, you will find
why the principle of Relativity becomes invalid at high speed. You
will find why you have turned your back on the principle of Relativity
to explain your observations but not realize that you have done so.
You will also find the absurdity in the Lorentz transform and thus the
silliness in SR. You should also follow your instinct that the
principle of Relativity is invalid in general. In the meantime, enjoy
living on that flat earth of yours. Mr. Hansen is going to have a
good laugh on this one.

Well, that depends on whether you're talking about what the principle
of relativity really says or about what you *think* it says.

The principle of relativity does NOT say, "Everything will be the
same, regardless of inertial reference frame." It does NOT say "All
measurable quantities will be the same, regardless of inertial
reference frame". I don't know where you would have gotten the idea
that it does say that.

No, it doesn't. The principle of relativity says no such thing.

Not when that is verified experimentally. Now you may find the
experimental results hard to believe or hard to understand, but that
doesn't make nature absurd. It just means you don't understand it.

What principle of relativity are you referring to? The principle of
relativity that I know does not find a problem in the twin paradox.

Roberts Roberts your "numerous experiments" argument is universal and
convincing but in the past you used to give an example - the muon
lifetime experiment. Now you don't give this example so I am your

Yes, I am talking about what the principle of relativity really says
and not what you think it says.

I never said that either.

Yes, I implied that is the case which it is. Specifically, the laws
of physics must be the same regardless the speed, relative to other
observers, of the observer observing these laws. This means there is
no absolute motion under the principle of relativity.

I got it from the Galilean transform. I suggest you go back and study
the Galilean transform before coming back.

That is because the principle of relativity is invalid. It is only
valid for speeds relatively low compared to the speed of light and for
time elapse relatively low that you don't notice the nanoseconds and
microseconds as suggested by Dr. Roberts.

That is correct. No experiment verifies the absurd predictions of the
Lorentz transform.

This is because you have failed to understand the Lorentz transform.

As I wrote in an earlier post, the twin's paradox does not occur
because of the principle of relativity alone. Throw in the time
dilation part, and you have it.

Well, let's find out....

OK, so far so good.

But this does NOT mean that all measurable quantities will be the
same. Take Galilean relativity if you like, and look at the case of
two colliding billiard balls. The momenta of the balls before and
after the collision will be completely different in one inertial
reference frame, compared with the momenta as measured in a different
reference frame. Yet the law of conservation of momentum will still
hold in both cases, and in the same form, even though the numbers all
change.

So far it appears you have a fundamental misunderstanding of the
principle of relativity.

OK, done that and I'm back. What was your issue again?

Why no, no it's not.

And the principle of relativity wouldn't be judged invalid in this
case because the principle of relativity does NOT demand that the
twins should age the same.

Why yes, yes they do, numerously. Have these experiments not been

Where do you think the time dilation part comes from? Can you not
identify the principle of relativity among the postulates used to
*derive* the Lorentz transforms?

An observer observing the collision event will observe the collision

You are very wrong here. The principle of relativity demands the
twins to physically age the same amount. In addition, the principle
demands the observed aging of the other twin to be the same by either
twin.

You are the one who does not understand the principle of relativity.
Thus, you have lied that you went back to study that.

I don't understand your question here. However,

Time dilation + Principle of Relativity = Twin's Paradox

No, towelhead.
The two twins are not symmetric if one of them turns around. So, you
cannot apply PoR. But you wouldn't know that.

Here is the math, towelhead:

If you spent less time ass-smelling at your local mosque and more time
studying, you would have known the solution to this elementary
problem. And you PRETEND to discuss the finer points of GR when you
don't know the very basics of freshman physics :-)

_show you the math_ ?! This coming from the guy who utterly denies any
math that he does not understand?

Want to take a crack at showing me two distinct geometries that
satisfy the conditions of Birkhoff theorem, which you claim to exist?
Either that or rescind the statement. I have been waiting for awhile
now - why do you shit and run?

How come you never figured out that the entire argument about whether
the surface area of constant r, t slices in Schwarzschild geometry is
either 4pi*R^2 or 4pi*(R+k)^2 was based upon the fact you wrote down a
coordinate-transformed Schwarzschild that used the same labels for r,
but had different ranges?

How come you have never shown me how a coordinate transformation can
transform a manifold from having no curvature into one which has
curvature, which you claimed?

The "Gravitational centrifuge" does not exist. What you were most
likely meaning to say was that experiments with centrifuges do not
produce time dilation like one might expect. This has no bearing on
the topic at hand because the centrifuge has no place in SR - rotating
frames are non-inertial.

As far as the math is concerned...

ds^2 = -dt^2 + dx^2 [simple (x,t) coordinates in God's own units]

dT^2 = dt^2 - dx^2 [T = proper time]

The proper time experienced by the stay at home twin is:

T = int( sqrt( 1 - [dx/dt]^2) dt)

T = int( sqrt( 1 - [v]^2) dt)

But the stay at home twin doesn't move - v = 0. Integrate from t = 0
to t=t.

T = t - this means proper time = coordinate time for stay at home
twin. No surprise there.

The moving twin needs a moment of explanation. I'm assuming that the
stay at home twin _does not move_ and that the moving twin moves a
distance L in the home twin's frame at constant velocity v, then does
a 180 and goes back.

The proper time experienced by the moving twin is:

T = int( sqrt( dt^2 - dx^2 ))
T = int( sqrt( [dt/dx]^2 - 1) dx) [I can pick whatever
parameterization I want. Math is fun.]
T = int( sqrt( 1/v^2 - 1 ) dx) [My mechanics prof bitches at me for
skipping trivial steps {and marks me down. rrrr} and hes a lot smarter
than you]
T = int( v*sqrt(1 - v^2) dx) [Do you understand the concept of
multiplication?]

The loop integral goes from x = 0, to x = L, then back to x = 0. But v
swaps signs on the return run, so the integral has to be split - you
do remember your one dimensional calculus, right? With a clueful
person, I wouldn't have to think about that but then again you have
never done one line of math that is anything other than restating
definitions.

T = int(x=0...L, v*sqrt(1 - v^2) dx) + int(x=L...0, [-v]*sqrt(1 - v^2)
dx)
T = 2*int(x=0...L, v*sqrt(1 - v^2) dx) [Do you see what I did there?]
T = 2*v*sqrt(1 - v^2)*int(x=0...L, dx) [v is constant, remember?]
T = 2*v*sqrt(1 - v^2)*L [Do you know how to integrate?]

Hum. Slightly different from the stay at home twin, yes? You can use
whatever function pleases you for v(t) but the answer will not change.

So...there is the math. I can't wait to see how you will deny it!

Isn't that's like going to a nuthouse and pointing around you
screaming "your nuts! your nuts!!"?

Experiment 1:

We take a bucket of cold water and a bucket of hot water.

You already cant explain where the energy lives. Jet there is
potential and work may be accomplished relative to this most obvious
temperature difference.

Thus, it's a known fact that Kelvin was a dodo head.

Furthermore, after extracting all of the the caloricwork we now have 2
buckets of water of the same temperature.

Experiment 2:
Now we take a bucket of hot watter and a bucket of cold water. We mix
em in big bucket NR 3 And lo and behold Maxwell's daemon killed
Einsteins day dream. The potential was successfully eradicated.

Explaining this to the Einsteinian worshipers is like teaching a duck
how to sing IMO.

That's what I said. This does not mean that the values of the momentum

Why, no, no it doesn't. What physical law being the same in two

In fact I also studied what you said about the principle of
relativity. The principle of relativity says the laws of physics must
remain the same and in the same form regardless of inertial reference
frame. Now, what law of physics says that the twins must age the same?

Ah, well, that would explain a lot. You seem to be under the

Apparently not. Do you not know how to start with the prniciple of
relativity and derive the Lorentz transforms from it? There are
actually a whole bunch of approaches to doing that, just as there is
always more than one way to derive a result using algebra. But here's
one:

Typically, it's IMHO, and in your case, the "H" should be
in a font that's at least 40 points bigger than the other
three letters.

Or perhaps in your case it should be IMTIO, where the
TI is for "totally irrelevant".

Thank you for humbly accepting my authority.

The being of a kook obviously depends on your frame of reference. Like
beauty it's in the eye of the beholder. If you can only spew nonsense
insults in the 3rd person you are no longer in a position to complain
about the most obvious idiots in this group. (like Eric) The most
decent way is to agree with me but as you don't you should obviously
explain what happens.

The hot and the cold water go into one and the same bucket and the
potential disappears. The bucket doesn't start shaking or anything.
It's just gone!

If the potential is not gone YOU get to explain where it is now. I
seem to have misplaced it.

Lets not do any math today and see you accept this divine facts for
what they are. (divine fact) You call it "Absolute gibberish", I think
it cant be to hard for you to understand. I think you are not capable
of entertaining the thought.

I think there is only one bucket with piss warm water left be it big
bucker NR 3, and there is no potential. non whaaat so evah! The energy
fairy is not coming back either.

If you don't answer we will have to assume Maxwell was right.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Hey, what are this people here doing?

http://www.gammamanager.com/

Are they.... using the heat from electomotors to create free energy?
Free energy as in Freemason, freewilly, freethough? What do you think
should we call it virtual heat? An absolute gibberish engine?

http://www.steorn.com

oh? another one?

http://www.perendev-power.com/

and another one? I hear you think But but but it's impossbieble!! My
skool book says this and my teacher says that etc etc

Now lets have no more childish name calling, explain where the
potential goes little kiddie. Insert your slow typing 1 line reply
and address the obviously groundbreaking revelation I've just send
you.

If you don't answer we will have to assume Maxwell was right and that
guy Frank Langella is a kook talker of absolute gibberish. HEAR

Minor algebra error here. It should be 1/v rather than v. It changes
the form, but not the nature, of the result.

This is taken care in the Galilean transform. That is a case of three
parties. We have been discussion a case of two parties. Your

principle of Relativity. <Shrug>

I don't have any issues. Since you raise issues, they must be yours.

Aging is a physical law, under the principle of relativity, no one can
age differently from the others just because his speed is different
from the others.

Why would I even assume the principle of Relativity is valid to

Yes, once if you know what you have to fudge your results to anything
can be done through creative usage of matheMagic tricks. The analogy
is like a pile of foul dung seems to attract all the flies.

That one is a total BS. It is a fine example of the above analogy.

In his only book, Einstein pulled out the Lorentz transform from two
identical equations equating zero with zero. That is some matheMagic
trick, but unfortunately it is an old one.

In the meantime, the following is still true.

What three parties? There is a single system being observed in two
different reference frames.

OK, let's recap. The principle of relativity says that the laws of
physics must be the same and of the same form regardless of choice of
inertial reference frame.
You are taking this to also be a law a physics, which means that the
principle of relativity (which talks about the laws of physics) must
be the same and of the same form regardless of choice of inertial
reference frame.
I'm sorry. Where in there is there a physical law that dictates the


the twins must age the same?

Actually, no that isn't true. You cannot prove two opposite
conclusions from the same premise using two different paths of sound
algebra. Sorry, but no.

The principle of Relativity is more than a law of physics. It is a
law to describe how one law of physics associated with one frame that
describes an event is related to another law of physics associated
with another frame that describes another similar event.

In this case, these two similar events are the agings of the twins.

Can't you calculate , towelhead? Of course you can't, you never
calculate anything, you just PRETEND, all you can do is to eat shit.
It's a simple calculation, even freshmen can do it.
But you only PRETEND to know physics, you can't calculate anything for
yourself, motherfucker.
If you spent less time smelling ass at your local mosque and more

If they don't, the principle of relativity would fall apart. The
Lorentz transform would collapse with it. SR would crumble without
the Lorentz transform. <shrug>

It is an impossible task to prove the reciprocal result of an event.

No Lorentz transforms in this simple exercise, mr Dingle(berry)
Persistent cretin, I showed you, you just need to able to calculate
the simple integral of sqrt(1-v(t)^2/c^2) where you understand that
the profiles for the speed v(t) for the twins are NOT identical. All
the ass fumes you inhale at your local mosque combined with the early
onset of Alzheimer are impairing your ability to understand a freshman
exercise.

Because it is not reciprocal? Try checking on the speed profiles of
the twins. Hint: one accelerates, turns around, etc, etc. You know, 9-
th grade physics. Have you been home schooled in Gaza?

No, it isn't. It simply says that the laws of physics are the same.
Let me give you an example.
Let's take a collision of a car with a shopping cart, and look at it
from two reference frames.
We'll choose one of those reference frames to be the one where the
shopping cart is at rest initially, and the car is initially moving.
We'll choose one of those reference frames to be the one where the car
is at rest initially, and the shopping cart is initially moving.
Keep in mind we're looking at the *same* collision, not two different
collisions.
In both those reference frames, momentum conservation will be upheld,
though of course in one reference frame it is one object that has
initial momentum zero, and in the other reference frame it is the
other object that has initial momentum zero.

It is NOT a conclusion of the principle of relativity that, regardless
of the inertial reference frame, it is always the shopping cart that
has initial momentum zero.

It is NOT a conclusion of the principle of relativity that, regardless
of the inertial reference frame, the description of the collision will
always be "a moving car ran into a stationary shopping cart."

In fact, it is NOT a conclusion of the principle of relativity that,
regardless of inertial reference frame, there is always an object with
initial momentum zero at all.

In the same way, it is NOT a conclusion of the principle of relativity
that the "moving twin will always be found to be younger", regardless
of inertial reference frame, because "the moving twin will always
found to be younger" is not a law of physics. "The moving twin will
always found to be younger" is in fact an INCORRECT statement of what
SR really says, so it is not only not a physical law, it isn't even
right.

Because it is not a physical law, it is not what SR says, and the
principle of relativity in no way says this must be true.

No, I am pointing out to you that your statement that "your results to
anything can be done through creative use of matheMagic tricks" is
simply incorrect.
If you think it is correct, please provide an example of starting with
the same premise, using two different paths of sound algebra, and
arriving at opposite or contradicting conclusions.

Einstein pulled out the Lorentz transform from two identical equations

All your references will be wrong. Everything you have learned is

mathematics or a literature reference, because he has neither. That
will not, however, stop him from asking for both of them from you.
Don't worry - even if he reads them, he will not understand them
because otherwise he might learn something and become less of an

If you ask him to provide support for his arguments in terms of
examples, he will say the quantities which you desire are in his 'past

find them, that does not mean they do not exist. It just means you are

If you go back to his previous postings, and show him saying the

for misinterpreting what he said. It does not matter if he then says
it again, you are still an idiot.

PRETENDING to do physics and PRETENDING to discuss imagined flaws in
GR when the Australpithecus has been exposed to being unable to
understand something as simple as the calculations in the twins
paradox.
To shut up this shitforbrains ask him to put his "musings" in a
mathematical form . This will make him "disappear" for a while. He
will "reappear" when he thinks that people have forgotten about the
request. Then you hit him again with tha same request and you see him
scurrying like a rat. He is unable to perform ANY calculations. Hit
him where it hurts.

The fun thing is that every time I ask him to _demonstrate_ that
understanding he tends to ignore the question, answer a question that
was not asked, or simply run off for a week or two.

Yep, the standard scumbag_PRETEND_that_IT_does_physics behavior. KW is
not a "he" , it's an "it". We shouldn't engage in any more verbal
sparring with IT , we should ask IT to use math to prove ITS points.
Then, sit back, relax and watch IT scurry away.

Knock that "towelhead" shit off.

The Galilean transformation involves the following 3 characters.

** Observer 1
** Observer 2
** Observed

This transform describes how the observed is gong to be observed by
observer 1 in relation to how the same observed is going to be
observed by observer 2, and vice versa. It is a tale of 3 points.

This correct.

This is correct as well.

You are wrong here. Aging is a law of physics. The principle of
relativity says this law (and others) cannot be observed to be
differently based on speed difference.

No, writing deficiency.

In his book. How many books did he write?

In the meantime, we still have the following.
