Tom Potter - 11 Jul 2008 11:51 GMT
I suggest that if anyone wants to analysis
the utility of the various physical models,

that they take a look around and note what models
are used every day to make life better for mankind.

On the other hand,
if anyone wants to analysis
what physical models generate more heat than light,

and what models are hyped by people on the public payroll,
and people motivated by race and religion,

I suggest that they that a look at what models
are hyped by the mass media, and what models
are hyped and countered in the newsgroups.

As can be seen,  models such as
Newton's Laws, the DNA model, Ohm's Law,
Kirchoff's Laws, thermodynamics, etc.
are used every day,
and there is no hyping or worshipping of these models,
and no debate on their utility.

Considering that the only claim to the utility of
General Relativity is the false claim that it
was and is essential to the GPS system,
it appears that General Relativity is a
Tower of Babel, that generates more heat than light,
and is hyped for race/religion glorification and taxpayer funding,
rather than for it's cost-effective utility

Of course, I could be wrong,
and I will be looking forward to seeing any of the
posters who hype General Relativity to post a few
worked-outs examples showing how General Relative
can be used to make life better for mankind.

As is well known Newton used his model
and the data collected by ships that England
sent all over the world using standard pendulums
to count the number of swings from sunrise to sunrise,
to compute the size and shape of the Earth,
and the tides at various places.

Considering that it is much easier and simpler today
using modern computers to duplicate Newton's work,

I challenge the people who claim that
General Relativity is a cost-effective, viable model,
and in the same class as Newton's Model,

to compute the tides at ONE place
to demonstrate the viability of General Relativity.

If General Relativity is such a powerful and useful model,
it should be pretty simple for a General Relativity supporter
to set up a computer program, enter the data Newton used,
and duplicate or improve upon Newton's results.

No doubt, many models can be found to predict
things beyond man's capacity to measure,
like the beginning and end of the universe,
time travel, worm holes, dark matter,
the number of angels that fit on the head of a pin,
but I suggest that the value of a model to mankind
rests in its' utility.

I was disappointed to see that Uncle Al's references
were the web sites of a General Relativity Cult Leader
who is on the government payroll,

and the web site of
the most active General Relativity Cultist in sci.physics.

I was hopeful that someone could provide
a comparison of the actual benefits to society of
General Relativity vs. the DNA model,

and to provide verifiable proof of any claims for GTR
rather than parroting the false claim
that GTR was and is essential to the GPS system.

No doubt Clifford Wills hypes GTR because
it provides him with job security, a good income,
and lets him travel all over the world to attend GTR seminars
at the expense of the American taxpayers,

and of course, Sam Wormley hypes GTR
because it helps him score with hot, young chicks
who can't tell the difference between clean oats,
and oats that come out of a horse's a.s.

I expected more of Uncle Al
as I thought he had the equipment
to distinguish good oats from bad oats.

It seems to me that we have some aggressive
organic fertilizer salesmen at work here.

  Potter, you certainly have misconceptions...

  Newton's gravitational theory didn't explain what gravitation
  is but does provide reasonable accuracy for calculations.

  GTR provides a more complete understanding of gravitation
  and is more accurate than Newton... orbital precession,
  gravitational lensing, etc. and yes, GTR predicts accurately
  the corrections necessary for Global Navigation Satellite
  Systems (GNSS).

  GTR is an essential tool in investigations of compact
  astronomical objects... binary pulsars, supernovae, quasars,
  supermassive black holes, galactic evolution and galactic
  cluster evolution... Dark Matter distribution and cosmology.
  And so on!

Sammy makes a good point!

GTR provides a good understanding of
"astronomical objects... binary pulsars, supernovae, quasars,
supermassive black holes, galactic evolution and galactic
cluster evolution... Dark Matter distribution and cosmology"
and the beginning and end of the universe

( That is if you use the GTR model to model these things
and then use GTR to verify
that the observations fit the GTR model.),

whereas all the DNA model does is
enable man to produce more and better food,
improve medical care, reconstruct history,
fight crime, duplicate productive plants and animals,
establish innocence and guilt, etc.

Thanks for this comparison Sammy!

Your pal,

Just for the record,
so that no one will fall for any dishonest editing,
I am reposting the point that my pal Wormley made.

GTR provides a good understanding of
"astronomical objects... binary pulsars, supernovae, quasars,
supermassive black holes, galactic evolution and galactic

Potter has the tolerance for fundamental research of a three-year-old
who wants what he wants when he wants it, which is NOW. Delayed
gratification is indefensible for Potter.

And yet, his iconic role models he remembers unclearly and with rose-
colored glasses. For example, Newton's laws of universal gravitation
led to no interesting scientific discoveries for 180 years and no
practical application until the launching of satellites nearly 300
years later, and yet Potter has no tolerance for developments for a
theory that is 93 years old, and which was shelved for 30 years while
quantum mechanics and nuclear physics accelerated.

Gregor Mendel's work took place in the 1860's, but his work was
ignored for 50 years, and it did not lead to any significant practical
applications for 100 years. And yet, that fundamental work has
*profound* impact on medicine, breeding, agriculture, and evolutionary
biology. Yet Potter somehow does not see this as a waste of time, nor
is he grievously wounded by the attention Mendel gets in textbooks,
mass media, classrooms and newsgroups. I wonder how he would have felt
about it in 1910 or 1920, and whether he would have felt any remorse
today at being so wrong.

Potter is famous for rationalizations and selective evidence-sieving.
He has an agenda and is only interested in seeing that which supports
his agenda. Rationalizations and selective judging is a sign of
prejudice and bigotry, which Potter is also publicly famous for, and
which he nevertheless projects on others.

I can make a fairly confident prediction that Potter will feel
compulsively *obligated* to respond with a defensive air, and will
sniff that anyone who finds his view repugnant is bigoted by
definition.

Potter is a nutjob with WAAAAY too much time on his hands and a deep
need for self-promotion and visibility.

It appears that PD prefers to attack the messenger,

rather than examine why billions of dollars
of the taxpayers hard-earned money
are spent to rationalize General Relativity,

when the time, money and minds
could have been better spent on
models that have proven to work,
like DNA, quantum mechanics, classical mechanics, etc.

rather than wasted on a non-viable auguring model
that compares to astrology,
in that it "augers" the "mind of God",
the beginning and end of the universe, etc.
and has no room for a universe inhabited by
sentient beings.

Note that while General Relativity is a Tower of Babel
that wastes time, money and minds,
the DNA model is improving food production,
medicine, crime fighting and prevention,
the reconstruction of history, etc.

Where would you like to see your tax dollars spent,
and what models would you want you children to be
educated to, a Tower of Babel, auguring model,
or a useful model like DNA?

PD "is a <race/religion motivated> nutjob with

Hey Gisse,
considering that PD posted the personal attack quoted below,
do you think I "typecast" him pretty well when I posted:
" It appears that PD prefers to attack the messenger"

Excerpt from PD's *****FIVE STAR***** post follows.
=======================================
"Potter has the tolerance for fundamental research of a three-year-

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

As can be seen,
I was right on target with my "typecasting" of PD.

And of course, you could fill in for PD Gisse,
and no one in the audience would know the difference,

but you wouldn't get a *****FIVE STAR*****
Google rating like PD unless you also have a few sock puppets.

Defensive much, crackpotter? That isn't a personal attack - that's an
objective assessment of your defective personality.

Did you typecast him as being astute? He could not have hit the target
more cleanly with that shot.

> And of course, you could fill in for PD Gisse,

Only if they are as senile as you. If you can't tell the difference
between Paul and myself then I don't know what the f.ck. Paul is a lot
nicer than me, with an order of magnitude more patience and subtlety
than myself when it comes to morons like yourself.

Notice that he never - even once - called you a blithering f.cking
idiot even though it would be entirely correct.

Why do you care about post ratings so much, crackpotter?

I am sadden to see that Eric Gisse,
who claims to be a high school graduate,

is all bent out of shape because
he thinks that his buddy PD is incapable
addressing my posts.

I suggest to Eric Gisse,
that PD is certainly more competent
to address my posts,
tha some high school graduate from Alaska,

who can't work simple problems that
Newton worked centuries ago,
without the aid of powerful digital computers.

Regarding Gisse's question:
"Why do you care about post ratings so much, crackpotter?"

One might ask, why Gisse fantasizes that
I care "so much" about Google Ratings,

and one might ask,
why Gisse cares "so much" about
how he thinks that I feel about Google Ratings.

As can be seen from the url below:
http://sci.tech-archive.net/Archive/sci.physics/2007-08/msg01321.html

it is PD, not I, that cares "so much" about Google ratings.

And as can be seen by scanning a few of
Eric Gisse's *****Five Star***** Google posts,
Eric  also cares so much" about Google ratings
as he uses his sock puppet to give himself
*****Five Star***** Google ratings on his one line vulgar posts
that simply attacks some poster.

That seem a bit extreme.  GR does fairly good
at predicting where some matter has to be.

The waste occurs when you try to put the matter
where the theory says it should be.
Then the nut-cases of the "Loyal order of the
youthful twin" mount their steeds to defend their
delusions.

Now if you expect people who can't even spot a
causality violation to do anything other than snatch
defeat from the jaws of victory, then you expect
far too much from the bottom 30 percent
of the aggregate mass of human protoplasm.

Ahhh... no.

~An idle mind is the devil's workshop~

And most of the people you've mentioned
elsewhere shouldn't be anywhere near any kind
of work shop where sharp objects, power tools
and inadaquate adult supervision is the norm.

So consider it your contribution to humanity
to show some tolerance for those unfortunates.

Even feign some interest in their delusions if
necessary.

After all... They can't even hurt themselves if
you can keep one of their hands glued to a keyboard and
the other glued to a mouse.    :o)

Can I take your post to mean that you are
incapable of using General Relativity
to compute just ONE of the many things
that Newton computed hundreds of years ago.

Gisse, I am surprised that a bright high school grad like you
with access to the amazing General Relativity model
and powerful digital computers cannot duplicate just ONE
of the many computations that Newton made
with hand calculations using his primitive, inefficient  model.

Dear Tom Potter,
You are addressing a very busy man with expansive interests.
Try to have a bit of patience.

It is surely the same as his problem with dull and
uninteresting torsion pendulums.

Don't run and hide Gisse.

You claim General Relativity
is a useful and viable tool,
and that you are proficient in its' use.

All I'd like to see you do,
is duplicate just ONE of the tide computations
that Newton made hundreds of years ago
using what you assert is an inferior model.

What puzzles me is why
all of the General Relativity Gurus
are on the taxpayer dole,
and none make a living in the free market
using their powerful, esoteric knowledge.

Considering that you should use the
best tool for the job,
I'd like to see a demonstration of
what jobs General Relativity is is the best tool for,

other than computing things
beyond man's capacity to ever experience in time and space,
like the beginning and end of the universe,
time travel, warping through space, worm holes, etc.

If the taxpayers is going to spend their hard earned dollars
training high school grads like you, it seems to me
that they should expect you to be taught something that
can be uses to improve the lot of mankind,
like DNA, etc.

Back in the 1970's,
the taxpayers spent a lot of money
paying to teach inner city boys how to play basketball.

I wonder if teaching boys GTR is a similar scheme to keep boys
off the streets, or if it is a useful tool for anything.

Relativity itself does not. The reason why it appears to is that
certain anti relativists have a hidden agenda. It is all about
antigravity, Roswell, ODESSA and little green men.

The authour of this posting is a self confessed anti semite and
holocaust denier. Does this affect the validity of what he is saying.
Well, quite apart from the fact that what he and indeed everyone else
in his camp is saying has no validity. Just a modicum of thought
indicates this.

If Relativity is true it follows that the CIA accepted war criminals
into its bosom on the basis of some cock and bull story about
Aldebaron, hidden forces and antigravity.

In the McCarthy era the ODESSA brigade effectively took over.
Oppenheimer (together with a lot of other good scientists) was ousted
and relaced by "aldebaron khayyid". Don't know what that means.
Forward some years to WMD, no arabist consulted (just as no physicist
consulted in 1945) an illegal war with ethnic cleansing on a vast
scale.

I am surprised to see "Ian Parker" assert that he is
"a self confessed anti semite and holocaust denier".

I suggest that Ian should hate the "sin",
not the "sinner".

For example, even though Jews have come into conflict
with all of their neighbors through history,

and although Jews have institutionalized bigotry and revisionism,
and although Jews have a long history of instigating
conflict and war for power and riches,

one should not hate Jews,
but should hate the "sins" Jews engage in,
and try to call the negative effects of their sins
to them, so they can learn to get along
with their neighbors.

I am not a Nazi or anti semite. You are. I always said there was
something suspicious about anti relativity. There were 3 ODESSA
destinations after the war.

1) Lain America. Particularly Argentina, although there were a lot of
Nazis in Paraguay.

2) The USA viz area 51/Roswell antigravity and the CIA.

3) Middle East. I am going to explore that Arab Israeli wars in this
posting.

What are my own views. I am an Arab supporter although not an
uncritical one. I feel that a right to live in the Middle East is
conferred by your contribution. It should not depend on race or creed.
Israel must go back to the 1967 borders and the Arabs must guarantee
peace. Palestine should be shared between Arab and Jew. This was the
hope of the early Jewish settlers. If you have build your own research
center with your own hands you have a right to live in the ME. This
was what happened at the Weizmann Institue.

The reality, largely thanks to Odessa was very different.

The CIA picked the arabs to win

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2008/jun/01/the-first-arab-israeli-war/

I think the CIA wanted the Arabs to win. There was only one problem.
The Israelis were fighting for hearth and home. The Arabs by contrast
were fighting for their leaders.

These next two references show the liks that Gamal Nasser had with
ODESSA.

http://coat.ncf.ca/our_magazine/links/issue51/articles/51_08.pdf
http://www.jewukr.org/observer/eo2003/page_show_en.php?id=233

Now Relativity tells us that the CIA had no "greater good". If Nazis
had all been tracked down the Middle East might have been spared its
current tragedy, because that is what it is. A Nazi Egyptian
Intelligence service + an Israeli victory set the seal of tragedy.

You Neo Nazis blame everyone except yourself, and the Jews fill the
bill when all else fails. The fact that there was no "greater good"
and that should have been obvious to everyone. This is the fact that
has to be hidden at all costs.

http://www.hartford-hwp.com/archives/51/217.html

Saddam Hussein was a great guy until he had the temerity to invade
Kuwait. Apologists for the present war say he had to be removed.
Bollocks, the best way to removre him was not to have had him
installed in the first place.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saddam_Hussein

The CIA and its neo nazis have brought misery and tragedy to everyone.
Also brfore the Iran/Iraq war the CIA gave a nod and a wink to Saddam
Hussdein. It was this war and its catastrophic losses that induced
Saddam Hussein to invade Kuwait.

There is one particular beef I have as a scientist and that is the
flying saucer cult - did the Jews start that too? Alien abduction is
in fact a sleep disorder. You are in a wakeful dream state. THIS NEEDS
TREATMENT - Not the CIA telling you that perhaps little green men
exist.

I think I'd best lay off Ian for a while.

It appears from the incoherence of Ian's recent posts
that the CIA (Or LGMs) planted a receiver
in his brain, and it is messing up his thought processes.

I want to know about Roswell. The "blue book" which really dealt only
with aliens tells only half the story.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Blue_Book

This is absolutely keystone cops stuff. Not even the USAF was told
about Roswell.

I am also commenting on your obvious antisemitism. I am also trying to
figure out how you abtained the position you claim. I am telling you
that I think there must have been influence of some type between the
scene.

http://preposterousuniverse.com/grnotes/grtinypdf.pdf

Gives a fairly good introduction. In a weak field we can reduce to
R(4,4) = Delta^2(V)/c^2. All other terms are small. This is in fact
Newtonian Physics. As fields get stronger, of course, the other terms
start to have an effect.

The other thing I have noticed about your postings, apart from them
being nonsensical in physical terms, is the antisemitism. The basic
fact remains. If Relativity is true ODESSA sold a pup. The question I
will ask and ask repeatedly is "Why were no experts on Relativity
consulted at the time?" "Why were decisions taken in a cabal of
igniorami?". I see a parallel with Arabic and Iraq.

Pencho Valev (and yourself) have talked about the money "wasted" on
the teacing of GTR. The biggest waste of public money is, of course,
Iraq. I will say now, if anyone goes not wish to learn about
Relativity, perhaps they could do a course in Arabic instead. If you
look at it the parallels are striking.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/cia-is-undermining-british-w
ar-effort-say-military-chiefs-427848.html


I am in fact British. I personally feel that our "special
relationship" has brought nothing but grief. Our efforts are
undermined by a secret cabal. I think Britain would do a lot better to
have closer European links, end the special relationship and like
other European countries withdraw completely from Iraq and have
reconstruction only in Afghanistan.

I never said it was inferior - just wrong. Newton is an excellent
heuristic that is valid for most purposes - just like the rest of
classical mechanics.

Besides you aren't being clear enough about what you are asking.

Here comes the typical crackpotter rant about how much he hates basic
research. GPS and accurate [parts per trillion] time keeping are two
direct advances general relativity has brought.

Why ask questions whose answers have been given to you countless times
over the years? If you restrict yourself to technologies that are
direct functions of general relativity instead of the tremendous
astrophysical benefits, you have the global positioning system and the
ability to keep clocks accurate to parts per trillion levels by
accounting from gravitational and kinematic effects.

But that's not good enough for you, now is it?

Thanks for deliberately playing up sci-fi crap that no scientist takes
seriously in an attempt to discredit a theory you hate on personal
grounds. None of the things you babble about are possible without
unphysical initial conditions.

There's that requisite crack about me being a high school graduate.
Did you not graduate high school, or something?

Define "improve the lot of mankind". It took nearly 50 years before
DNA became useful. You only defend it in hindsight because you find it
useful _AFTER_ the scientists that "are on the public dole" did the
basic research you would never willingly fund.

Spot the lie. It starts and ends with "I wonder".

You know how GR is useful, it has been explained to you nearly every
time you post your inane little rant. You just don't care because
_you_ don't think the technologies and science it makes possible are
useful.

As can be seen,
Eric Gisse tries to create a false strawman,
and make me the issue,
rather than the utility of General Relativity,

with the bare face lie
that I oppose government funded basic research.

Considering the enormous amounts of time, money, and minds
spent trying to rationalize General Relativity,
and educating (Brainwashing) young people,
and brainwashing the masses that it is
a powerful model of reality,

all I ask is for ONE General Relativity Guru,
or ONE General Relativity supporter (Cult Member)
to demonstrate the utility of General Relativity
by working out just a tiny fraction of the real world
applications that Newton worked out hundreds of years ago.

There is a vast difference between wisely using the
taxpayers money to educate young, impressionable people,
and to do "basic research"

and using the taxpayers hard-earned money
to promote what seems to be a non-viable, auguring model of reality
promoted more for its' glorification of
a particular race/religion, than for its' utility.

A prime example of this is that Einstein was Time Magazine's
"Man of the Century although the DNA model is used every day to
fight diseases, improve food production, fight crime,
reconstruct history, etc.

whereas GTR is an obvious dead end, non-viable Tower of Babel,
that leaves no room for sentient man,
and it wastes time, money and minds
on pursuits beyond man's capacity to ever experience in time and space,
like the birth and death of the universe, time travel,
warping through space, worm holes, etc.

As can be seen, the General Relativity Cult
parrot the false mantra that GTR
was and is essential to the GPS System,
when this has been shown time and again that
this is a false mantra.

Hopefully Gisse will work out ONE
of the tides that Newton computed centuries ago
to demonstrate that he understand General Relativity,
and that it is a useful, cost-effective, viable tool
to do the useful things for mankind.

I suggest that the government should
find a better way to keep Nerds off the streets,
and that Nerds should be encouraged to
play basketball so they will be stronger
and more healthy.

Friends, we've got trouble.
We've got trouble right here in Anchorage.
We've got to find a way to keep the Nerds off the streets,
and to get them to exercise and learn useful skills.

Bodies and minds are terrible things to waste.

  Potter, you certainly have misconceptions...

  Newton's gravitational theory didn't explain what gravitation
  is but does provide reasonable accuracy for calculations.

  GTR provides a more complete understanding of gravitation
  and is more accurate than Newton... orbital precession,
  gravitational lensing, etc. and yes, GTR predicts accurately
  the corrections necessary for Global Navigation Satellite
  Systems (GNSS).

  GTR is an essential tool in investigations of compact
  astronomical objects... binary pulsars, supernovae, quasars,
  supermassive black holes, galactic evolution and galactic
  cluster evolution... Dark Matter distribution and cosmology.
  And so on!

Why should anyone do anything for you? We've been down this road
before - remember your "13 hacks of general relativity" that you
couldn't shut the f.ck about? Remember your denials that GR was used
in the global positioning system?

Whenever your idiotic arguments are bitchslapped so hard that even you
can't ignore it, you simply shift the goalpost back a little bit
further and make people jump through your asinine little hoops again.
Frankly, who the f.ck cares what you think? I don't - responding to
you serves as nothing more than entertainment.

If you want to know about GR reducing to Newton, open a f.cking
textbook. I'm not gonna teach you jack.

...and how long did it take for DNA to be useful in these industries?
Pretty f.cking close to 50 years after DNA was discovered, wasn't it?

Einstein's contributions to science are legendary. You just can't
accept them due to your personal issues with the man.

Typical salesman bullshit. You know what you are saying isn't true,
but you are hoping to sell your bullshit through sheer persistence
since it has no merit. It isn't going to work, a.shole. We all know

GR produces the same equations of motion and thus the same predictions
at the Newtonian limit. Study the theory you attempt to poorly
criticize, before opening your ignorant ex-pat mouth.

I suggest that Gisse's reply to my post

asking him to prove that the General Relativity
is a viable, cost-effective, viable model

by simply working out ONE of the many tides
computed by Newton using his inferior model, centuries ago,

should be used as a text book example of equivocation.
--------------------------------------------------------

One would think that if General Relativity
was such a powerful, useful model,

that at least ONE of the people who hype it
and pretend to be privy to power, esoteric knowledge,
that they expect the taxpayers to support with
education and billion dollar experiments,

would simply demonstrate ONE example
of the power of their esoteric knowledge,
rather than waste enormous amounts of time
and net resources equivocating.

Let us hope that our government representatives will
do a lot of RESEARCH on what models
yield the greatest benefits to mankind,
and put the taxpayers hard-earned money into RESEARCH
using models that provide cost-effective results and benefits.

With the diminishing oil supply,
it appears that the free lunch is over,
and that the taxpayers can no longer afford the luxury
of paying kids to play basketball,
and take mental masturbation courses that condition them
to think they have access to powerful, esoteric knowledge.

And of course on billion dollar programs
RESEARCHING things beyond man's capacity to EVER
experience in time and space,
like the beginning and end of the universe, black holes,
time travel, warping through space, etc.

You first Gisse.

As I have asked many times,
prove that you actually understand General Relativity,

and that it is an efficient, viable model,

by simply computing just ONE of the many
tides that Newton calculated by hand centuries ago,
using his old model.

Can I put you on my list of phonies
that pretend to have access to powerful knowledge?

I'm surprised that Gisse and Wormley
are ignorant of the Gravity Probe B project.

Excerpts from a couple of posts I made about Gravity Probe B
are listed below.

As I predicted on April 11, 2007
the results to be annouinced on April 15
would be "Yes Virginia, frame dragging MIGHT occur."

As can be seen, the General Relativity Welfare Mothers
announced that they would
"announce the final results of the experiment in December 2007".

What were the "final results"?
Have they proven or disproven GTR,
or will they try to con the taxpayers out of a few billion
more dollars for "Gravity Probe C"?

=======================================
"as can be seen by the recent news,
over one billion of the tax payers dollars have been spent
on just one of the many projects to rationalize General Relativity
( Gravity Probe-B ).

Papers on the General Relativity experiment will be forthcoming
in a few days, and maybe, just maybe,
the scientists on the taxpayer dole,
who promoted this project will make the astounding announcement
that "Yes Virginia, frame dragging MIGHT occur."
===============================================

Here is the report on the Gravity Probe B frame dragging experiment
which was released today 4/15/2007.

http://einstein.stanford.edu/

"The other effect, called frame-dragging, is the amount by which the
rotating Earth drags local space-time around with it. According to
Einstein's theory, over the course of a year, the geodetic warping of
Earth's local space-time causes the spin axes of each gyroscope to
shift from its initial alignment by a minuscule angle of 6.606 arc-
seconds (0.0018 degrees) in the plane of the spacecraft's orbit.
Likewise, the twisting of Earth's local space-time causes the spin
axis to shift by an even smaller angle of 0.039 arc-seconds (0.000011
degrees) - about the width of a human hair viewed from a quarter mile
away - in the plane of the Earth's equator. GP-B Scientists expect to
announce the final results of the experiment in December 2007,
following eight months of further data analysis and refinement.
<Data has been on file for two years, and although over one billion
dollars has been spent on this particular rationalization of General
Relativity, they need at least eight more months to <cook the books?>

==============
End quote

As can be seen at the web site below,
NASA took my advice and
Gravity Probe B came last in the NASA review
so the panel recommended cutting funding of the project.

Since Bush and the NeoCons destroyed America's economy
and America's standing in the world community,

American taxpayers can no longer afford the luxury of
funding billion dollar programs to glorify models
hyped by particular races and religions for their glorification.

There is quite a lot to get one head round in terms of space
technology as well. No doubt you and your ilk will want to see
continuously from GEO at 10cm resolution. Here is how to make a
fragmented telescope.

I think you should also remember that the "dole" as you put it also
gives us technology.

Thanks to my pal Ian Parker for calling my attention to
how the hundreds of millions of the taxpayers, hard-earned dollars
were spent on the Gravity B Probe experiment.

Can you imagine the benefits to mankind
if that money had been spent on the DNA model,
rather than on hyping and rationalizing a non-viable model
promote by people on the public dole
for race/religion edification?

Here is where billions of your tax dollars go folks.

No doubt some positive results came from the millions spent,
just as some positive results would result
from throwing billions of dollars out of an airplane over Cleveland.

  Care to detail these "billions" of dollars... or were you referring

  Newton's gravitational theory didn't explain what gravitation

  GTR provides a more complete understanding of gravitation

  gravitational lensing, etc. and yes, GTR predicts accurately

  the utility for the world... generating tens of billions of
  dollars of economic and utilitarian benefit to the peoples
  of this world. Both the quantum mechanics and general relativity
  have made that possible.  :-)

Try the URLs below for starters:

http://www.misunderstooduniverse.com/Gravity_Probe_B_Cosmic_Money_Pit.htm

http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=9682351

"The team had planned to release its results around now.
But there have been problems:
The results so far are 1,000 times less precise than what the team had expected.
Much of the trouble came from the gyroscopes.
The spheres inside carried small patches of electric charge,
which subtly disturbed their motion.

Physicist Francis Everitt at Stanford University is the project's leader.
He says the team will be able to subtract the disturbance and <hack> the data.

NASA recently gave the Gravity Probe B team several million more dollars to continue their work.
The team hopes to have better results by the end of the year."

It's past the end of the year.
Where are the "better results"?

I must point out that the Gravity Probe B gang
used all kinds of Newtonian and Maxwellian physics
in their effort to hack  the project data
to fit Einstein's model.

It is a good thing that they found these things out. Well worth the
money for the technological know how. I have noticed too that you seem
to be posting the same anti semitic twaddle in many different places.

Would you be any chance be "Puppet Sock" or anyone else?

I have set up a second account myself just to show how easy it is. I
think I will keep it. It might be needed if and when I investigate
parsing in inflected languages (Arabic) and compression of a parse
generated sequence.

BTW - I think it is quite appalling that we still seem to live in the
age of Galileo.

I am surprised to see that "Talebun"
thinks that it is worthwhile to spend billions
of the taxpayers dollars on projects
motivated more by the edification of a specific race/religion,
than by the returns to the taxpayers.

As I indicated in my post,
no doubt, if you tossed a billion dollars
out of an airplane over Cleveland, some good
would result from it, but is this a good project
to use the taxpayers money for?

Regarding "Talebun" question:
"Would you be any chance be "Puppet Sock" or anyone else?",

As can be seen from the many pictures of me
on my web sites, and from my many years of
posting on the net, I am "someone else".

But considering the question,
"Puppet Sock" must make some very interesting posts,
so I will Google and read some of his posts.

Regarding "Talebun" comment:
"you seem to be posting
the same anti Semitic twaddle in many different places."

I am of the school,
"hate the sin, love the sinner",
and I place a great value on truth and justice.

It appears that when I point out
the historical fact that Jews have
come into conflict with all of their neighbors throughout history,
and that they have a long history of instigating conflict and war
for power and riches,  that "Talebun"
confuses this with being "anti-Semitic".

Of course, even if I were anti-Semitic,
I would be in the vast majority,
as most folks throughout history have been
anti-Semitic according to what many Jews say,
and of course most of the folks on the planet today
are anti-Semitic.

If "Talebun" doesn't believe me,
he should read what many Jews have to say
in the media and on the net,
about people being anti-Semetic.

I never hear Germans, Englishmen, Asians,
Mexicans, Mormons, Hindus, etc, saying
"You hate me because I am a "XXXXX",
but as many Jews are loudly proclaiming that
folks are anti-semetic, so they must be right.

The question is,
why have most folks been,
and why are most folks now,
anti-Semitic?

If all you can think about is how over-eating is bad for you,
so that you're constantly dwelling on it, to the exclusion of all else,
you'll never stop being a foodaholic.

Same goes for Gisse dwelling on stuff he doesn't like
( e.g. non-textbook physics ) or Potter dwelling on what he doesn't like
( e.g. General Relativity ).

Tom's basketball and Eric's textbooks are both insane wastes of time,
I say; it's more productive to post to UseNet, surf Google, etc. .

As I see it, Tom would have us earning money we don't need,
just to burn up the only planet he have, like a log in the fire.

Anything short of hibernation will shorten your life ..
and even that could kill you toot sweet.
Same goes for humanity as a whole.
 
“ U.S.A. Inc. ” is like a party .. call it “ DisneyLand ” if you will.
Pay the “ entrance fees ” ( a.k.a. “ rent ” or “ taxes ” )
and obey the “ regulations ” .. or be “ evicted ” ( i.e. kicked out ).

For oft' random reasons, the homeless are “ The Evicted ”.

It's the right of every “ land Lord ”
( e.g. yourself, the government, etc. ) to “ evict ” on a whim.
Going up a level, every landLord is a “ tenant ”.

Nothing is acausl, randomness is always ignorance, nothing more.

The cosmos “ just is ” .. 4-D static, 4-D motionless, 4-D unchanging.
“ The Mind of God ” ( the “ HyperMind ”, if you will ) is choiceless;
but “ The Mind of Man ” ( 3-D ) must pay “ rent ” or get “ evicted ”.

Gravitational fields can't be anything other than 4-D space,
no matter how imponderable .. otherwise you'd have to ask:
“ What's fueling it ? ” and “ How efficient is it ? ”.

Likely, intrinsic mass and electromagnetic fields are also 4-D fields,
but that's so much more imponderable that it almost doesn't matter.

Further, mass is a form of energy.  Given two identical lasers,
one beaming from a station on Earth to a geosynchronous satellite,
the other from the satellite back to the station ..

While the speed of the beam received by the satellite
exactly matches the one received at the station,
the Earth-bound beam has more inertia .. more energy .. more Mass .

For what value of "everyone" ?

The vast, vast majority of what interests me is not printed in any
textbooks. What is printed in textbooks is either only the basics or
horribly outdated.

It takes time for current concepts to be taught as bob standard.
Relativity can be classed, now at any rate, as bog standard. The fact
that the thread was renamed is to me indicative of something. Next
time I change it it we be changed to

" The Black Sun and Aldebaran [khayyid?]"

That to me can be the only reason for this sniping. You see when
people accept a theory that is experimentally confirmed there is no
neeed to impute motives, they are following scientific method. The
criticism, both in type and volume, of Relativity suggests strong
ulterior motives.

Ian Parker makes a good point when he
points out that unscrupulous people
con the masses into accepting models
in order to promote their selfish agendas.

For example, Aztec priests conned the public
into accepting their model that if they
ripped out the hearts of people,
that the sun would come up in the morning.

Jews conned the public into accepting
much of their religious model.

Freud conned the masses into accepting
his doped up, sexed up perception of
how the mind works.

Marx and Engel conned some of the masses
into accepting class warfare.

The America NeoCons conned Bush
and some Americans into accepting religious warfare.

The best measure of a model is its' utility
in a few and open market,
not how it pits one class against another,
one religion against another,
one race against another.

For example, rational, intelligent folks
who want to learn how to judge the value of models
should compare the General Relativity model
with the DNA model.

Note that although General Relativity has been
enormously hyped for one hundred years,
and Einstein was made Time Magazine's
"Man of the Century" and the masses
were conned into thinking that he was the
most intelligent man who ever lived,

that Einstein's model is a Tower of Babel
that wastes time, money and minds
on such pursuits as time travel, warping through space,
the beginning and end of the universe, worm holes, etc.

whereas the DNA model is used every day to
improve health, create better crops, create better live stock,
fight crime, reconstruct history, etc.

Thanks Ian for pointing out that the enormous hype of
"Relativity suggests strong ulterior motives."

I suggest that this "ulterior motive"
is to portray Jews as intelligent, virtuous victims
rather than a criminal gang that has come into conflict
with all of their neighbors throughout history.

  Na, You're wrong Potter, the measure of a scientific model
  is in the data agreeing with the models predictions. For
  example, there predictions of Special and general relativity
  have never been contradicted, but confirmed, by observations.

  Newton's gravitational theory didn't explain what gravitation
  is but does provide reasonable accuracy for calculations.

  GTR provides a more complete understanding of gravitation
  and is more accurate than Newton... orbital precession,
  gravitational lensing, etc. and yes, GTR predicts accurately
  the corrections necessary for Global Navigation Satellite
  Systems (GNSS).

  You've got to admit, Potter, that GPS have proved to be quite
  the utility for the world... generating tens of billions of
  dollars of economic and utilitarian benefit to the peoples
  of this world. Both the quantum mechanics and general relativity
  have made that possible.  :-)

  GTR is an essential tool in investigations of compact
  astronomical objects... binary pulsars, supernovae, quasars,
  supermassive black holes, galactic evolution and galactic

  And so on!

Sammy makes a good point!

"GTR is an essential tool"
if you want to model things beyond man's capacity
to ever experience in time and space such as
"binary pulsars, supernovae, quasars,
supermassive black holes, galactic evolution and galactic
cluster evolution... Dark Matter distribution and cosmology.
And so on!" ( Time travel, warping through space, worm holes,
the beginning and end of the universe,
the mind of God, etc.)

Of course, Sammy makes a bad point
when he parrots the lie
that General relativity was and is
essential to the GPS System.

Shame on you Sammy!!!
