I remember 5\6 years ago this group was one of the best physics
newsgroup for the lay enthausiast. Now every semi illiterate,
juvenile, with an opinion posts on this forum. would it be too much
trouble for google to get a team together to moderate this group?

That "group" has been here long before Google even existed.

Amen to that!

Sadly, the newbies have a problem distingishing Google Groups from
Usenet Newsgroups. They don't seem aware of the fact that except for
rare moderated Usenet Newsgroups, most newsgroups are and forever will
be unmoderated, so anyone can post whatever they damn well please.
Sometime this is good, and some times an annoyance.

At any rate, the OP seems to hold a believe that Google plays a role,
which of course they do not. To the OP I would offer this suggestion:
Get a clue on how Usenet operates, and realize that Google has no
influence on it.  Sheesh!

Google has no authority or ability to moderate usenet newsgroups.
They could, technically, control what Google Groups users see or post,
but I doubt they would want to do that: selectively filtering based
on content might bring into question their right to use the group
at all.

Try sci.physics.research - moderated and (therefore a bit) boring.

By the way, a few months ago a few newsgroups where flooded
by the most obvious spam, all posted through Google groups.
It looked like Google didn't care about taking action against
it, but at this point it looks like they have taken certain measures.

  This is USENET, an internet protocol independent of Google or
  any corporate entity.

  However you can contribute to raising the standards of this
  USENET Newsgroup sci.physics by minimizing replies to trolls
  and make credible postings about physics.

This is because the public is getting more intelligent. Prior
to it. Copenhagen zombies and relativistic miracle workers
rule. When the public realize that relativists describe that the
the universe with over 100 billion galaxies each with over 100
billion stars each star at least the size of the sun or bigger
and they were once contained in in a space smaller than
the head of the pin, then they begin to realize that this
is the most fantastic thing they ever heard. Now when
they realize further that beneath the world they inhabit,
things can be in two places at once (electrons before
measurement for example) and there is no physical
picture of it but everything encapsulated in the wavefunction
which works like magic. Many in the public has a mental
breakdown. And from this raised the super newtonians.
Super newtonians are what these crackpots are all about
as they try to put in picture and mechanical form what
occurs in the invironment of the atom for example and why
relativity is just wrong because there is just no way in
hell the entire unverse can fit into the head of pin. Its
more fantastic than saying angels can dance in the
head of the pin. Physicists indeed beat it by literally
describing that even the dance of galaxy in relation
to other galaxy can also fit into the head of the pin.
At this point. It's either their mind shuts down and
they suffer mental collapse so intense it can kill them
or they all focus over something that can prevent total
mental breakdown that would put them in mental institution.
The result of their focus is in the emergence of the
Super Newtonians. Those who want science being
explained but not using quantum mechanics nor relativity
but newtonian physics. Its the only way to save their mind.
Without them reverting to newtonian worlds. They mind
equilibrium can be so affected that they would literally lose
their mind by the simultaneiously brain wide neutral
collapse that could even kill them. So to attempt the
first try to moderate this newsgroup, we must have tie
with government mental institutions where these super
newtonians like Porat, Seto, Thomsons, Retic, etc. can
be locked up inside and be treated by experts to make
them loss memory or interests in them... to make them lose
totally their interests by inducing them epilectic seisure to
disconnect the brain with the final outcome of making them
understand and following the moto "Ignorance is Bliss".

I think it is because internet is getting cheaper and more
accessible. And computers more idiot-friendly. Just look

Google has no authority at all over the Usenet. Just one of the
windows allowing a peek at and allows posting to.

Nobody will ever moderate this group.

What you need to do what everybody else ends up doing,
that is, chose the people you want to interact with and ignore
the rest.

By the time you get to this point in the thread, you will have had pointed
out to you many times that Google Groups is not Usenet.  Google Groups does
offer access to Usenet through a web interface, but not only is it a bad
interface, but you can't filter out posts from people you don't want to
read messages from.

If you want to keep reading this group, you should set up a real
newsreader.  Thunderbird and Outlook, which you may already have, will read
newsgroups.  I'm using 40tude Dialog, an old piece of freeware, because it
allows me to easily filter out replies to the posts I'm blocking.  From
your headers, it appears you're using BT for Internet access; if that is
the case, your news server is news.btinternet.com.

And if you're looking for a moderated newsgroup like sci.physics, there's
sci.physics.research.

thank you. I'm a little frustrated at what this forum has become. I
know of sci.physics.research, but that is highly technical and it
requires a good grasp of algreba and calculus. For some of us mere
mortals a conversation on physical generalities will be ignored or
derided (if you're lucky). sci.physics.foundations is moderate but
don't let the word foundations throw you, it's virtually run in the
same manner as s.c.r. sci.physics was always the place any enthuasist
could come and air an opinion and have it met with a well rounded
response. That is unfortunately no longer the case.

The type of response you are looking for you will get if you
ask a well rounded question.

On unmoderated Usenet groups, it is up to the poster to
analyze and select the answers he finds well rounded for
his own purpose among the pile of answers he gets.

You just need to ignore the answers that you find offensive
or weird of off topic.

This newsgroup has been hijacked by a gang composing of few
members only namely.. Androcles, Pentcho, Y.Porat, Spaceman,
& Seto. These folks are super newtonian fanatics. They are willing
to die for Newton (subtly there are forming a Newton cult much like
the Nazi cults). They want to make sure our physics stop in
the time of Newton and Einsteinian physics never came. If
you have big connections in the government and law. Try to
indict them for crimes against humanity and progress and get
lawyer order to make them not come within 15 meters of any
internet machine with sci.physics in it.

Noke demonstrates what is wrong with sci.physics.

In the early days, the science groups on CompuServe,
FidoNet, Genie, The Source, Delphi, Prodigy, AOL, etc.
experts and beginners alike interacted in a
rational, intelligent, civilized, moral way.

Experts could discuss heavy issues,
and beginners could toss in their two cents,
and get a civilized, informative response.

Unfortunately about the year 2000,
all of the commercial services migrated to the Internet,
and sci.physics became a battle ground between
John Baez and Jack Sarfatti
to be "King of the Mountain".

After John Baez create his infamous
"Crackpot Index" in an effort to smear Sarfatti,
the newsgroup quickly fell into two groups,
defenders of "conventional wisdom"
and attackers of "conventional wisdom".

The defenders of "conventional wisdom"
began to attack messengers
rather than address messages,

and the attackers of "conventional wisdom"
after being personally attacked
rather than having their messages
addressed in a rational, intelligent, civilized way,
began to respond in kind.

Regarding "Noke's" statement:
"This newsgroup has been hijacked by a gang composing of few
members only namely.. Androcles, Pentcho, Y.Porat, Spaceman, & Seto",

I suggest that if "Noke" applied his time, knowledge, and intellect
engaging those posters in debates on their positions,
that he would find that they are more than happy to accommodate him.

I suggest that folks interested in returning to the
wonderful days of yesteryear should note

who tries to focus attention on some issue,
and who tries to focus attention on some person or persons.

I would like to thank my pal Sam Wormley
for demonstrating the points I made on my post,
where I stated that sci.physics degenerated when:

"The defenders of "conventional wisdom"
began to attack messengers
rather than address messages,

and the attackers of "conventional wisdom"
after being personally attacked
rather than having their messages
addressed in a rational, intelligent, civilized way,
began to respond in kind.

that he would find that they are more than happy to accommodate him.

I suggest that folks interested in returning to the
wonderful days of yesteryear should note

who tries to focus attention on some issue,
and who tries to focus attention on some person or persons."

I will be looking forward to seeing Sammy
apply his time, knowledge, and intellect
engaging posters in debates on their positions,
rather than attacking folks personally.

Thanks for demonstrating and confirming
the points I made in my post Sammy.

Don't be shy Sammy.
Even if you don't comprehend a thread
try to make a contribution to it.
The longest journey starts with a single step.

Your pal,

My friend BAH is partly correct.

I was wrong about the date that the conflict
started between Sarfatti and Baez
that turned sci.physics into a "River of sh.t".

As can be seen by the post by Sarfatti:
http://groups.google.com/group/sci.physics/msg/5e708010503c494a

Newsgroups: sci.physics
From: sarfa...@netcom.com (Jack Sarfatti)
Date: Wed, 18 May 1994 00:53:34 GMT
Local: Wed, May 18 1994 8:53 am
Subject: John Baez tells lies.
Some one just sent me a "net.legend.FAQ" about me written
by John Baez. It is totally fraudulent.

For example, Baez claims I tell a story that Murray Gell-Mann
finds my ideas interesting. I never told such a story. I never
spent time with Gell-Mann.  I did spend time with Feynman on
several occassions in 1963 and 1967 and Feynman did send me
a funny letter to "The Great Sarfatti" to me at UCSD in 1967.
He did drive around with me in my Jaguar convertible in 1963.
But I never even spoke to Gell-Mann and never said I did.

Baez wrote:

---------------------------------------------------------------
Used to tell people
Murray Gell-Mann found his ideas interesting; someone finally checked
with
Gell-Mann - and found the complete quote was "Your ideas are
interesting, but
[looking at watch] I'm late for an appointment." Posts from   ....

------------------------------------------------------------------
Also Baez falsely says I wrote letters of complaint to academic
superiors of at least one other person other than him. This is
a lie - the only letter of complaint I did write was to John Baez's
Department Chirman and Academic Dean at UCR (where I got my Ph.D.
with Fred Cummings in 1969). John and his graduate student, David
Dixon, who has a history of terrorizing females on campus, have
been spreading lies about me for over a year on the internet for
over a year which is why I did complain to his Dean.  This is not
professional behavior for a promising professor without tenure
and I wish he would stop it. My personal displeasure over his
distortions of my ideas etc will not stop me from reading his
book on Knots and Physics - but I hope his writng there is more
accurate than his lies about me.

What is this net.legend.FAQ which seems to be a repository of
false information? "

The conflict started not around 2000,
but around 1994.

Boy how times flies!

And many of us who are tutored in physics also find it entertaining.

anyway) unless we feel like being entertained.

For those following the soap opera, a cursory search of the Google archives
reveals that the "Crackpot Index" was first proposed by John Baez in 1992:

http://groups.google.com/group/sci.physics/msg/f32dd5bb05208802

He was following up to this post by Robert McElwaine:

http://groups.google.com/group/sci.physics/msg/0ab6e7db67e6bdfb

Over the next few days, he applied the new index to posts from such people
as McElwaine and Alexander Abian:

http://groups.google.com/group/sci.physics/msg/9fcb4033adb16018
http://groups.google.com/group/sci.math/msg/f6dab03c8612046c
http://groups.google.com/group/sci.physics/msg/6d023f1a0f958024

And himself (discussing loop quantum gravity):

http://groups.google.com/group/sci.physics/msg/aae73e53490da9eb

Sarfatti did take particular exception to the index, though, and started
two threads that week on it:

http://groups.google.com/group/sci.physics/browse_thread/thread/9cb80029a7a83d5a
/db40ffbb510cac50

http://groups.google.com/group/sci.physics/browse_thread/thread/291384f45faa0367
/2a5e0e7f8691a99d


He also mentioned it in:

http://groups.google.com/group/sci.physics/browse_thread/thread/a77ea7f093c95a23
/123a6eb7110af8fb


He says to Baez, "I think you mostly post good stuff - with some slips like
crackpot index."

Baez's response was:

I am pleased to see that "Jim Black"
researched to find the point at which
sci.physics began to turn into a "River of sh.t",
and it appears that he found the point to be in 1992.

As us old timers on the net know, pre 1992,
folks of all kinds, students, experts, professionals,
phonies and us "scientific illiterates"
interacted in a rational, intelligent, civil way.

As could be seen by actually witnessing the decay,
and as can be seen by researching the situation,

after Baez created his "Crackpot Index"
phonies like "Jim Black" and "Sam Wormley",
ego trippers, ignorant people, and young students
immediately began to use the list as
a weapon to attack messengers,
so they did not have to address messages
and expose their ignorance.

I suggest that "Jim Black" reflect on why
anyone would create a "Crackpot Index"
in the first place, and use it to demean
opponents in debates and discussions.

No doubt Alexander Abian and Sarfatti
had a few unconventional ideas tucked in with
their extensive and intensive knowledge and experience,

( Abian was a professor and great mathematical,
and  Sarfatti knows far, far more about physics
that  "Jim Black" and the phonies
who rally around and defend the "Crackpot Index"
like the Romans Armies defended their Standards.)

but rational, intelligent, moral people
attack SPECIFIC points of messages,
rather than try to create generalized INSTITUTIONALIZED ICONS
that can be used to demean messengers.

Phonies, con-men, dishonest and immoral people create
negative and positive ICONS and use them
to manipulate ignorant people.

Any time you see someone using icons like
"Crackpot Index", Nazi, Hitler, KKK, patriot, etc. as weapons,  
you can be sure you are dealing with an immoral (Or stupid) person.

The scientific approach is to expose and debate SPECIFIC points ,
not to tag those who perceive an issue differently with a negative icon,
and those who agree with a positive icon.

That said, anyone who doesn't agree with me
is a dirty, ignorant, bigoted, Neo Nazi coward who hates America,
and a zombie-parrot who has been brainwashed to worship Relativity,
not to mention is a member of the KKK, a Jihad Muslim and a Communist.

Regarding "Jim Black" rationalization that Baez created his
"Crackpot Index" as a "joke" and that something is wrong with
the folks who don't see the humor in it.

It is interesting to see that Bush rationalizes his Iraqi War
by asserting that something is wrong with the folks who
don't go along with his war.

Personally, I don't see the humor in a list
designed to demean messengers,

and I don't see the patriotism in a needless war
against a tiny nation, located half way round the world.

  Potter, you didn't fair well, did you, when scrutinized by the
  The Crackpot Index? -- http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/crackpot.html

  Contrary to your belief that it is "designed to demean messengers",
  it serves as a useful tool to identify potential crackpots like
  yourself. Should we say a little prayer for you, Potter?

Thanks to my pal Sammy
for demonstrating how  the "Crackpot Index" is
used by ignorant people, immoral people, and fools,
when they do not have the intelligence or knowledge
to address a message.

For example,
although I score very low on the Crackpot Index,
at times a few immoral ( Or stupid ) people have tried
to create the impression that I score high on this odious list.

To put John Baez's "Crackpot Index" in perspective,
I have created an Einstein Cult Index

The Einstein Cult Index
Tom Potter

A simple method for rating Einstein Cult members.

1. A -5 point starting credit.

2. 5 points for using the phrase "gestalt experiment".

3. 5 points for each hype of "Einstein", "Feynman", Gel Mann, or a Jewish physicist.

4. 10 points for each claim that General Relativity models reality to 10 decimal places.

5. 10 points for each claim that General Relativity is a useful model
without providing solid, WORKED OUT, real world evidence of the fact.

6. 10 points for claiming that Einstein's models were positive "paradigm shifts".

7. 10 points for claiming that non-Einsteinian models cannot
be used to accurately model effects that involve changes of the frequency of oscillators
with distance, velocity, acceleration, pressure, temperature, etc.

8. 20 points for claiming that slave tick accumulators are clocks,
rather than instruments.

9. 20 points for claiming that the background times of
all remote oscillators in the universe change,
rather than that the frequency of the oscillators
change with changes in their environment with respect to
THE Master Oscillator that is used as a reference.

10. 20 points for emailing me and complaining about the Einstein Cult Index,
or attacking me personally in the newsgroups.

11. 20 points for suggesting that Einstein deserved the Nobel prize
for corrupting Planck's quantum of Action.

12. 20 points for each use of the phrases "crank", "crackpot", "stupid",

13. 30 points for suggesting that Einstein positions on politics, religion, and society
are the best positions.

14. 30 points for suggesting that Einstein developed the ultimate theory of reality.

15. 30 points for claiming that Einstein was the world's most intelligent man,
and deserved being named Time Magazine's "Man of the Century"
over Watson, Crick, Planck, Bohr, Ford, Edison, Truman, Eisenhower, etc.

16. 40 points for using the phrase "Jewish physics".

16. 40 points for attacking those who criticize the Einstein Cult as anti-Semitics..

18. 40 points for claiming that anti-Semitics are engaged in a "conspiracy"
to demean Einstein and the works of Jewish scientists.

19. 40 points for attacking opponents as uneducated, stupid, cranks, or crackpots.

20. 40 points for avoiding debating issues involving Einstein
by creating a flame web site, or using a flame web sites as a reference.

21. 40 points for claiming that when Einstein's theory is finally appreciated,
the Doppler Effect, the Hubble Effect, the Galileo Effect, the temperature effect,
and the DNA, Quantum Mechanics, and Classical Physics models
will be seen for the shams they truly are.

22. 50 points for claiming that General Relativity was essential to the GPS System

23. 50 points for hyping models that speculate about
the beginning and end of the universe,
time travel, space warps, worm holes, etc.
rather than accepting models that are used every day
by millions of people.to make life better for mankind.

24. 50 points for being on the public payroll
and not having to produce cost-effective useful results.

25. 50 points for being on the public payroll
and profiting from the promotion of General Relativity.

26. 50 points for being Jewish.

The bottom line seems to be that
members of the Einstein Cult are either Jews,
or people who have been brainwashed by the mass media
to believe that Jews are intelligent, virtuous victims.
rather than a cult that institutionalized bigotry
and the revisionism of history.

=====================================================

The dingleberry pass mark is 5% of the total.
The total is 905, so nobody (at present) can score more than 900.
5% of 900 is 45, so that's the qualifying score.

That is, you get a five point credit so you can refer to "gedanken" or
"gestalt
experiment" and you still only score zero, but for "Jewish physics" (clause
16)
AND gedanken (clause 2) AND a hype of a Jewish physicist you fully qualify
as
a dingleberry. It's really quite tricky, clause 3 has an OR in it, so you
cannot
claim fully-paid-up dingleberry status for a hype of Einstein AND a hype
of a Jewish physicist.

The amusing thing about the ring laser gyroscope is that is
actually models Einstein's "thought experiment" but for practical
reasons the straight line path Einstein used is wrapped around a
circle so that x' coincides with 0. Now all you need do is spin
a turntable against a mark on a fixed table and you have the
"stationary" and "moving" frames perfectly modelled.
Do not view a ring laser gyroscope in action, your wristwatch
will run slow.

Tom Potter seems to be one of the most brilliant anti-relavitists
around, compared to Driscoll, etc. For those who have mastered
Potter, what exactly are his theories and counter arguments? Can
anyone summarize it. We know for a fact that General Relativity
is not complete because it can't be reconcile with quantum
mechanics and special relativity is just approximations because
life really occurs in curved spacetime, not flat. Someday if we
have a better theory that can duplicate all predictions of general
relativity in the classical limit then it would not be called
general relativity but it would behave like general relativity. Is
this what Potter is claiming that his new model can predict it
yet not GR? Or is he ignoring experimental data like Driscoll?
If Potter is theorizing a new model that can produce the same
result as GR in the classical limit, then his model deserves
scrutiny esp. if it can be reconcle with QM. What is wrong
with his theory for those who is familiar with him?

I am pleased to see that Eric Gisse
who is a "faithful reader of my posts"
wants to discuss physics issues,
rather than engage in flame wars.

This article makes rigorous definitions of a few constants,
and discusses what physical properties should be considered invariant.

Let us consider a system composed of one electron and one proton.

1. Let M(P) = the mass of the proton.
2. Let M(E) the mass of the electron.
3. Let C = a universal distance per time constant. ( The speed of light. )
4. Two bodies interact about a common point in a common time.
  The common point is the center of mass of the system
  and the common time is the period of the system.
  Let T(C) = the common period divided by 2 times pi
                 = L(C) / C

  where L(C) is the distance light travels during one radian of
  interaction of the electron-proton system.

5. Assume that  K = a universal distance per mass constant.
  K = 1.0585382 x 10^13 meters per kilogram for E-M interactions.

6. Assume that fine structure(E) = ( M(P) * K / L(C) ) ^1/3
then    fine structure(E)^0 * L(C) = 1 / ( 2 * Rydberg Constant )
and     fine structure(E)^1 * L(C) = 2 * pi * Bohr Radius
and     fine structure(E)^2 * L(C) = Compton's wavelength
and     fine structure(E)^3 * L(C) = 2 * pi * classical electron radius
                                  = M(P) * K

As interactions are symmetrical about the common center of mass, we can
define a fine structure constant for the proton and obtain the following
equations:

       fine structure(P) = ( M(E) * K / L(C) ) ^1/3
       fine structure(P)^0 * L(C) = 1 / ( 2 * Rydberg Constant )
       fine structure(P)^1 * L(C) = 2 * pi * Bohr Radius(proton)
       fine structure(P)^2 * L(C) = Compton's wavelength(proton)
       fine structure(P)^3 * L(C) = 2 * pi * classical radius(proton)
                                  = M(E) * K

       fine structure(P)^3 * M(P) =  fine structure(E)^3 * M(E)

7. Let h(E) be the Planck's Constant for an electron.
8. Let h(P) be the Planck's Constant for a proton.
Note that:

       M(E) * M(P) * K^2 = fine(E)^3 * fine(P)^3 * L(C)^2
                         = h(E) * fine(P) * K / C
                         = h(P) * fine(P) * K / C

Also note that:
       h(E) * K / C = fine(P)^3 * fine(E)^2 * L(C)^2
                    = M(E) * K * fine(E)^2 * L(C)
and symmetrically:
       h(P) * K / C = fine(E)^3 * fine(P)^2 * L(C)^2
                    = M(P) * K * fine(P)^2 * L(C)

Equations showing the simplest relationships between Planck's Constant
and the Fine structure constant:
       fine(P) * h(P) = M(P) * M(E) * K * C
       fine(E) * h(E) = M(P) * M(E) * K * C

Note: As K and C are universal constants, and as we are considering rest
     masses to be constant, h(X) and fine(X) must vary reciprocally when a
     system such as a hydrogen atom is changing states.

The relationship between the orbital velocity of a body and the fine
structure constant is:
       sine(X) = velocity(X) / C = fine(X) * charge ratio

Comments:

1. The common period is associated with Rydberg's constant.
  In other words, the distance symmetrical to both bodies
  is the reciprocal of Rydberg's constant. The other distances
  ( Comptons wavelength, etc. ) relate to a particular body.

2. If we assume that rest masses are constants, we have to acknowledge that
  the h's and fine structure constants must vary for a system to
  accommodate change.

 The simplest system would consider the rest masses
  to be constant, the distance common to the masses L(C) to be an
  independent variable and all properties to be dependent variables.
  Note that the distance L(C) is related to the common period of the system.

3. Schrödinger's Equation would be symmetrical to both the electron and the
  proton if were based on the mass products rather than a "constant"
  associated with only one of the bodies. The equation works because the
  incoming and outgoing frequencies are common to both parties to an
  interaction, but the equation does not provide a symmetrical look at the
  classical system absorbing or emitting the frequencies. Schrödinger's
  Equation, like Planck's Constant is biased in favor of the electron.

4. I emphasized distances, rather than more fundamental times and angular
  displacements, in order to more clearly show the relationships between
  the common physical constants.

  The more fundamental approach would be to use the time intervals
   associated with the distances, as spaces are fundamentally time intervals.

  Hey Potter--Let's talk about special relativity. I was wondering

  nature needing to be taken into account in numerous engineering
  projects?  What's your take Potter?

My take is,
as I have pointed out for many years,
velocity is a tangent function,
and the addition of velocities in "special relativity"
is just an expression of the addition of tangents.

And as can be seen from my posts,
I have never asserted that the addition of tangents,  
which is the basis of Special Relativity,
is wrong.

Who discovered the addition of tangents anyway?

Sammy, why would anyone use a phony,

I'd rather use your regular, primary reference source,
the web page of the unemployed computer programmer
who took some data processing classes at a third rate California college.

If you want to compare the numbers you get
using the law of addition of tangents
and Special relativity, I suggest that you
just plug in some numbers and compute away.

Tom, there is a LOT you don't see. One thing is the standard methods
of politics. The difference that you are all whining about is the
entry of political action into the group. Slogans, My side is always
"right" and yours is always "wrong" arguments, name-calling,
assertions that your opponents are "insane" which implies that their
opinions can be rejected without any consideration are ALL political
methods.

The problem is that scientists usually HATE politics. Which is
unfortunately why they are so easily manipulated by it's standard
techniques!  They usually don't even know they are being manipulated!

Just as YOU are so easily manipulated by those in power (in your case
on the left). Well there is no "humor" in a list designed to demean
(and dismiss) messengers. It's all a political tactic designed to keep
official physics dogma in it's place. Sure you have a cow over dogma
for the masses like George's excuses for the war, but you chime right
in with the dogma in physics perpetrated by the same bunch. You need
to wake up.

But that's the problem isn't it. If there is ANY person that makes
this group need a moderator you probably rank right up there on the
list! You have your agenda and work hard to bring your politics right
into this discussion of other topics.

Witness your references to Dubya's war. Now think about this for just
a minute. I KNOW you can do it if you try. Oil is a limited resource.
With the masses of the world (india, china) wanting the American good
life, it's clear to any thinking person that even though there is
quite a bit oil left, the price is just going to keep going up as the
competition for it grows.

So is your idea to just stand by and let America crash and burn as it
runs out of fuel?  Not what I'd call good leadership. Is your leftist
idea to maybe burn food for vehicle fuel? Gosh I wonder what the
unintended consequences of that one would be? How about those lefty
favorites of water power, windmills, and solar cells?  Obviously this
is "science" by people who only know how to write good novels, but
know nothing about anything else. The quantity of energy is simply not
there.

So what is the "solution"? Sorry bunkie, nobody knows what it is!
There IS NONE! The plans for a simple free energy device are not yet
on the internet!  So there is ONLY one sensible thing to do. And that
is jump into the cesspool with the rest of the world squabbling over
the last remaining oil reserves. Grab as much as you can and sit on it
like a hen hatching eggs until the end comes. In the meantime you can
switch to natural gas vehicles (works for the gas companies) and coal
vehicles (electric cars are essentially powered by coal).

And just what did our Glorious Leader do? Duh! He grabbed one of the
larger (some reports say it's actually the largest) known oil reserves
for us. And now he's sitting on it like a hen hatching eggs. I don't
know what YOU think, (and I don't care) but that gives me the warm
fuzzies!  Do I give a sh.t that Dubya had to lie his a.s off to the
American people to do it? NO. What's he gonna say? "Hey, let's go grab
Iraq Oil because we can and Saddam is an a.shole anyway?"  Or maybe he
should have just been honest and fair and said, "We are gonna do
nothing about the peak oil problem. We are just going to let Iran and
Russia and anyone else that has more than we do tell us what to do as
time goes on. Expect to die eventually." There are NO rules in
sovereign politics, save what can you get away with.

The bottom line, is that YOU are the moron here who is constantly
bringing politics into this science group. The problem is YOU!  Yes,
science people DO need to wake up and discover how they've been duped
by politics, but just coming in with slogans and name-calling isn't
going to do that.

Probably the best answer here is that when the government finally bans
all "alt." groups, they probably should ban all "sci." groups at the
same time. Or at minimum install a censor (moderator) since free
speech is a "collective" right and only applies to official media
organizations, not to the internet. Right?

I think what "Benj" is trying to say is:
1. Stealing is good.
2. Might makes right.
3. It is more cost effective to wage a continuous war
half way round the world that wastes enormous amounts of
lives, limbs, and energy,rather than to allow the free market
to operate.
4. Consume it now. Let our grandchildren eat cake.
5. The opinions of physicists about things like
Relativity, black holes, dark matter, worm holes, etc.
come about because "they are so easily manipulated".
6. To rationalize abuses, usurpations and crimes LIE!

Why take pot shot only at relativity, why not quantum
mechanics too? In QM, a particle doesn't go from A to B.
It takes all path at once.. so space and time cease to exist
in quantum mechanics (before measurement). At least with
relativity, things only get distorted and this only occurs
perspectivewise and not on the first person state. So you
still have space and time in relativity versus full reality
defeating stunt in qm. So why take pot shot just at relativity?
QM is even weirder.

If they say time ceases to exist, they are also just as warped
as relativists and have completely lost the science of measurement.
once the science of measurement is distorted or lost, the science
itself is no longer there.

Sadly, All these silly religions are basically saying basic math
is wrong, and then they use basic math to prove that basic
math is wrong.
That is truly one of the funniest things about all the dingleberries.
They have lost the logic completely.

But it is reality. Particle accelerators, GPS, etc. apply
relativity. At the smallest scale and fastest velocity,
things are pretty distorted. Here, QM and relativity rule.
You just happen to be born in a small window where
newtonian laws is valid. This doesn't mean it is valid
all the way to smallest scale and fastest velocity.
This is simple common sense. Why can't you go on
terms with it???

I have a feeling that reasons can't penetrate, hostility
of physics runs too deep in your blood. So you end up as
newtonian cultists. Cant you see it?

Also. If relativists dig for einstenian religion.. you guys are
newtonian cultists.

Unfortunately. Experimental proof goes in the company
of the religious relativists so you newtonian cultists lose,
in light of quantum mechanics even more stranger foundation.

Ponder on it hanson and driscoll. Even weirder physics is to
come when the Large Hadron Collider goes online in August. Be
prepared or be left behind in the medieval ages.

Particle accelerators would not work at all
if Newtons was not mostly if not all correct.
and nothing about a particle accelerator proves Newton incorrect.

GPS actually provides a massive problem for relativity,
because it actually uses absolutes to find absolutes in the long
run so if anything "again" it needs Newtons absolutes thinking.

The smallest scales work fine with Newton,
It is just a matter of finding all the newtonian forces
that apply, the only reason it fails is when some sort
of Newtonian force was left out of the equation.

Hostility towards physics?
You got that 100% wrong,
You see, I want physics to again provide physical causes
for effects like Newton has done.
but poor old Relativity lacks it completely.
Relativity has not one physical cause for any of the effects
it describes.

If you truly believe relativity has found even one physical cause
you are only fooling yourself and joined the religion blindly.
:)
Newtons "science" explains each and every effect with
"physical causes".
That hardly puts it in a religious state such as relativity
at all.
