This pretty much sums up Jack's position: any person who proposes an
interpretation of GR that is not fully consistent with the Einstein
equivalence hypothesis -- whatever that may have been  -- is "ipso facto

Yes, exactly. The probability of your success is ZERO. Meantime there
are many more interesting problems and you are wasting your time
completely - other than sharpening my pedagogy in how to write about
relativity in my books, which is why I kept at this. No one responded to
you because most of them cannot understand what your point is, and those
that do think you are off your rocker. This includes Alex who does not
agree with you. Puthoff's PV is also inconsistent with the LOCAL
equivalence principle Visser et-al agreed. Even Hal's colleague Ibison
agrees since he wrote no GCT in PV. But Hal at least has a real theory
that can be falsified and has. You have nothing but words with promises
a proof. Who do you think you are? Ed Witten?

Meantime read that Nieto paper linked below if you want some interesting
lessons in publish or perish. Also the physics is important. One can see
how my first interest led to what I am doing now on deriving Einstein's
GR from the macro-quantum vacuum phase - as well as my paper with
Stoneham at Harwell on Goldstone theorem in 1966 on emergent order. Also
PW Anderson's role is interesting synchronicity. Nieto's paper is very
interesting both in terms of the history (my role) and the physics.

PS You also make the comment that I added an i to my name. That is not
true. My family name is "Sarfatti".

My father's name is Hyman Sarfatti. Our Sarfatti cousins were largely
responsible for Benito Mussolini coming to power as told in the book by
CIA historians P. V. Cannistraro & B.R. Sullivan "Il Duce's Other Woman"
(W. Morrow, 1993). Because of that fact my mother left the "i" off my
birth certificate on Sept 14, 1939 when war was obviously coming and the
association with Mussolini was not wise.. My father officially restored
the "i" to my birth certificate in 1974 with the Department of Records
in Brooklyn, New York. In any case "Sarfatti" is my birthright. My real
identity was hidden as a child of WWII.

Hi Martin

re: http://arxiv.org/pdf/hep-th/9304036 I have just come across this for
first time in 2004.

I never received the 1968 letter Peter Carruthers wrote to me mentioned
in your historical review of the history of quantum phase operators at
Cornell in 1963-4. If it was 1968 I was at both UCSD physics department
and also teaching at San Diego State. At least I do not remember it. If
Carruthers received a reply from me I would like to see it.

Thanks

Jack Sarfatti

"Also as I was a student at the time it was more important for me to
receive my proper share of the credit for a paper that proved to be
important than for Carruthers - addressing myself to Carruthers remark
that you cited. Note that I also participated as equal co-author in
another important paper on spontaneous symmetry breakdown in solid state
physics 1966 that is cited in APS Resource Letter on Symmetry in Physics
with A.M. Stoneham on the Goldstone Theorem and the Jahn-Teller Effect
in Proceedings of the Physical Society of London."

Do you think I ever denied that my model is inconsistent with Einstein
equivalence? Of course it is.

I am glad you admit that. Ipso facto you are off your rocker!
