Pentcho Valev - 25 Nov 2005 06:50 GMT
Albert Einstein, "Relativity", Chapter 7: "There is hardly a simpler
law in physics than that according to which light is propagated in
empty space. Every child at school knows, or believes he knows, that
this propagation takes place in straight lines with a velocity c=300000
km/s."

Chapter 22: "...the law of the constancy of the velocity of light in
vacuo, which constitutes one of the two fundamental assumptions in the
special theory of relativity and to which we have already frequently
referred, cannot claim any unlimited validity. A curvature of rays of
light can only take place when the velocity of propagation of light
varies with position. Now we might think that as a consequence of this,
the special theory of relativity and with it the whole theory of
relativity would be laid in the dust. BUT IN REALITY THIS IS NOT THE
CASE."

Interesting! Are these the opinions of the biologists Athel Cornish-Bowden

Right. So? And where is the lie, do you think?

Every child at school knows that if A meets B then B meets A.
This is not an approximation as has already been shown to the first order
of small quantities, it is a law far simpler than any stupidity about
speed.
Valev has omitted the chapter title,
"The Apparent Incompatibility of the Law of Propagation of Light with the
Principle of Relativity",
which does not discuss the Principle of Relativity AT ALL, it being KNOWN to
be a simpler law.
The intro SUCKS, as does Einstein.

It was erroneous, but still workable. The same can be said of the preceding
theory of Newton, which is still in use as well.

Although very interesting, that's a slightly different subject than the one
of gravitation that Einstein had in mind. Wasn't this one already discussed
in the relativity group? If not, you could start a thread on it.

Nonsense.
The time for a radioed signal to reach Cassini-Huyghens from Earth
does not equal the time for signal from Cassini-Huyghens to reach Earth.
The speed is ~ 3.0003m/sec  one way and ~ 2.9997m/sec  the other,
depending on the relative positions of  Earth and Saturn at the epoch
of emission. There is no "limit speed".
The theory of relativity is not "workable".
Newtonian physics is workable which is why it is still in use,
the same cannot be said.

There once was a time when I didn't understand the difference between
speed and velocity either, just like you.  But I overcame my ignorance
and became educated.  It can do wonders for your outlook.  It might be

You still don't. Get educated instead of indocrinated. Just a suggestion.
BTW, you are not adressing Valev. All he has done is quoted Einstein,
so I take it your remarks are directed at Einstein. Too late, he's dead.

Igor, funny enough you're mistaken, your new education is useless for
correctly understanding old English publications. Maybe you were too much in
newsgroups, and don't read enough publications, especially of that time
period -- also just a suggestion. Or learn German -- just another
suggestion. In any case, Einstein's Geschwindigkeit in the above text means
"speed" in the jargon of this newsgroup. And if you knew to which
calculation Einstein referred in the above text, you would already know
that.

As far as I have verified, whenever the word "Geschwindigkeit"
appears in the original article, he is talking about the speed (or
in a few cases the closing speed, when
The only place where he is talking about the vector, he calls

I understand exactly what you saying, but I don't think it should
matter.  Anyone with even a high school physics education should at
least be able to distinguish between what he was saying in those two
statements.  Unless you're really dense or just trying to be a major

I now think that you really don't know to what calculation Einstein referred
in the second text -- for if you knew, it wouldn't make sense for you to
suggest that the meaning of his first velocity is different form the second
one.

It's not the difference between speed and velocity.  But you have to be
careful in specifying who is making the measurement.  General relativity
locally reduces to special relativity, and the local speed of light is
always c.  When you throw in the spacetime curvature of the general
theory, the speed can differ over extended regions.  E.g. the Shapiro
effect.

How is it the speed?  Does it work like refraction?

How do you measure a speed?  But the time it takes for something to go
from point A to point B.  In special relativity the elapsed time depends
on the motion of the observer, but space transforms, too, so the ratio of
the distance over time is constant for a light ray.  General relativity
retains that for local measurements.  That is, when everything involved in
a measurement is in a small enough region that the spacetime curvature
doesn't matter.

So when you have a light ray bending around the Sun, you could have a
sequence of observers each making their own measurements of the speed in
their own small regions, and each gets c.  But the distant observer will
get a different result because of the curvature between them.  The distant
observer, making careful measurements of the local observers' rulers by
e.g. the apparant sizes in his telescope, and comparing their timers to
his own, will disagree with the lengths and elapsed times that are
reported and will find a different ratio.  And he'll disagree that each
local observer measures the same c.  

Dear Pentcho would find his objections, if not his incredulity and
indignation, evaporating if he carefully thought about what a measurement
means and who was making it, and transformed both space and time as the
theory demands.  Or, for that matter, improved his critical reading
skills.  He quotes:

Chapter 22: "...the law of the constancy of the velocity of light in
vacuo, which constitutes one of the two fundamental assumptions in the
special theory of relativity and to which we have already frequently
referred, cannot claim any unlimited validity."

Well, general relativity is not special relativity.  It's not clear
whether he noticed that.

If you would spend as much time studying the subject as you do complaining

Poncho Valev does not know the differences between

   - kneeling down and bending over,
   - local and global,
   - a sycophant in English and in French,
   - massive and massless particles,
   - a Real Pentcho and a Sears Pentcho,
   - implication and equivalence,
   - inertial and non-inertial,
   - group velocity and phase velocity,

That's very childish Dirk, in the above passages they are synonyms and you
know it; moreover, the difference between science and religion is usually
emphasized by those who don't realise their similarities.

idiots like you have never seen before.

OK. I'm following this in sci.skeptic, where kooks abound
but where quite a few of the engineers (hopefully including
yours truly) are at least layman-level conversant with the
principles of science.

Oh, my. The few I looked at seem to prove your contention,
although how an "electronic engineer" managed to get through
both general and semiconductor physics, not to mention E&M,
while continuing to make the claims he does, is rather
puzzling. Maybe the same way Creationists get through the
"evolution" part of biology classes - parrot the text while
refusing to either accept it or to actually think about it.

Characteristic IMPEDANCE is not resistance. No power is lost
in a coax, save through the resistance, which is of course kept
to a practical minimum by the use of copper.

In English it has not. I do believe Merriam Webster is an American
dictionary. I am also aware that the plural of "you" is "yawl" in Texas
cowpoke and "youens" in western Pennsylvania honky where "nigga"
is strictly ebonic and bad form to use within earshot of an African
American, even if HE says it.
We have African Englishmen in England, often speaking Jamaican,
and we call them black. It does not offend them and many of them
speak perfect Cockney.

'The "Salem Hypothesis" is credited to Bruce Salem, who developed it as a
regular contributor to the Usenet talk.origins newsgroup. It continues to be
used in circles where the debate between evolution and creation is ongoing,
often for its humor value.'

Bruce Salem is a phuckwit, shown by wackypedia (the book anyone can write)
to be a laughingstock.

Engineers are scientists unable to stomach the excrement of the
male bovine of academia, the builders of technology. They are
for the most part gentle quiet folk, providing workaround solutions
to such fuckups as the general theory of relativity applied to GPS
satellites; whereas academia writes papers, engineers write
code for the automatic upload of ephemeris from groundstations.
Engineers have far more knowledge of how things really work
than do arrogant crackpots who only think they know.

Since when are "velocity" and "speed" used as synonyms in the
physics literature?

Since at least more than a century ago -- see for example the title of
Lorentz's 1904 paper, which Tom yesterday cited again, or simply the Lorentz
transformations: "v" stands for "velocity".

Oh, you wrote SINCE but in fact you meant UNTIL. All comments here were
about old writings of Einstein and not current literature -- didn't you
notice?
Still, you asked an interesting question, and I vaguely remember having even
seen rather recent articles where "velocity" was used for "speed". Just
check with Google Scholar (I now did). You will readily spot some.

You must be joking.

1. I didn't suggest that it's my word choice -- this sloppiness is yours,
don't shoot the messenger!
2. It's your claim (for you to prove) that it's sloppiness of those who
choose "velocity", and not a difference of convention.
3. Apparently you had a quick look and noticed many Arxiv articles, and
that's why you now changed your demand... and you try to trick me in doing
the work for you, and next you'll say that it's only a few and/or the
journals are not very reputable, depending on the result. Sorry, you can do
that yourself (you'll find at least one).

Anyway, as a result I encountered many interesting papers. :)

In agreement with experience we further assume  you are another
stupid bastard that thinks peer-review has any meaning, because
in agreement with experience "assume" has passed peer review,
the moron Einstein wrote it.
Yes, the other "convention" in measuring velocity is to ASSUME
that the velocity of a ray of light to go from A to A is c.
"2AB/(t'A-tA) = c " -- peer-reviewed idiot Einstein.
Ref http://www.fourmilab.ch/etexts/einstein/specrel/www/

Only a peer-reviewed abject moron like you would fail to realize
c =  a peer-reviewed assumed zero.

Hi Randy, there are too many examples in old physics literature (to which I
originally referred), such as the ones that this thread started with. But it
seems to be rare in new papers, in 10 min. search I stumbled on only one of
5 years ago (in the "Modern Physics Letters" about neutrino oscillations)
that apparently (for that's not my piece of cake) still used "velocity" for
v as in the LT. Maybe it was a glitch. ;-)

Sorry, the onus is on you to back up your ridiculous statements

YOU were the person who wrote:
"velocity is often used as synonym for speed"

YOU were the person who wrote

We both perfectly know the difference between speed and
velocity. The thing is that you don't seem to know the
diffference between an obnoxious troll like Valev and an
religious ether engineer like yourself. That is of course the
primary reason of your always ending up defending the most
obvious idiots of these newsgroups and making the most
irrelevant and misplaced remarks to those who kick the trolls
around.

Part of my agenda is to expose phoneys with a transparent

rather primitive indeed. No argument there.

You still don't understand that you joined an anti-ether witch hunt (or do
you?). While you made anti-ether campaining either your pastime or your
religion, you claim (even here above in this link) that Valev "doesnt know
the difference between science and religion" -- but that's one of the few
things that he got right.

It's much more primitive. You're a Jekyll and Hyde. Your first agenda is to
show of, and that's not harmful, most people appreciate you for that and
because of that I first thought that you're a nice guy. Your second agenda
however is similar to those bullies at secondary schools who kick other
pupils because they dare to be or think "different" in some way or another.
Possibly that raises some hormone levels.

You've got it all wrong - as always.
I have no problem with people who think differently, quite
on the contrary. I make fun of those who think differently
and who at the same time bully those who "don't think
differently". I also make fun of those who, like you, think
differently but pretend to do it with an "open mind".
Your mind is so open that you probably don't understand
this. But don't worry, I can live with that.

Hmm... I'm beginning to think you are more sensible than you
first gave me an impression of. Spermless Van de merde is
all you say he is. Nice guy he is not. Bully he is. He gets into
difficulties with definitions. For example, every real number
has two square roots, but moortel thinks sqrt(x) is only
the positive root, the negative root has to be written -sqrt(x).
Yet x can be negative. <shrug>
You'll find his difficulties displayed in what he calls "fumbles"
by other people, mistakenly thinking they are in error when
they point out exceptions to the generalized rule. Such people
pass examinations when the pass mark is 40%, never realizing
they were 60% wrong for the rest of their lives. Its called "stupidity".
You have another example with the "peer-review" crowd, exemplified
by Blind Poe:
Einstein:
½[tau(0,0,0,t)+tau(0,0,0,t+x'/(c-v)+x'/(c+v))] = tau(x',0,0,t+x'/(c-v))
Reference:
  http://www.fourmilab.ch/etexts/einstein/specrel/www/

"Where in that equation did (c+v) occur?" -- Blind Poe.
and Uncle Al
"BTW, you f.ck-faced baboon, "(c+v) appears nowhere in the paper, nor
could it." -- Uncle Al.
and Jerry whom you've just encountered.
Stephen Hawking's papers passed peer-review, but he admitted
he was wrong after 30 years (unlike Einstein, who never once
admitted his 1905 paper was the nonsense that became SR).
They are all the typical learn-by-rote parrots, unable to think for
themselves. Do not expect them to admit they are in error.
Another is Bielawski.

To me it's interesting - what are the limits of withstanding blatant
contradictions (infinite, apparently).

According to Bielawski, Relativity works because

Bielawski ran away with his tail between his legs, he found his capability
to withstand blatant contradiction wasn't infinite.

I goofed the other day. I referred to the Welsh language as "Cymru"
(which is the nation) instead of "Cymraeg".

Androcles has been attaching this quote to the above equation for
so long I'd forgotten what the actual context was where I said
it. Needless to say, that wasn't the equation. Here's the original
context:
http://groups.google.com/group/sci.physics/msg/20626b1b979f1b91?hl=en&

And "that equation" was this:

   x'/(c-v) = t.

But five minutes of reading Androcles-the-terminally-confused will
reveal his penchant for taking quotes from one place and
dropping them into other places. Witness the mess he's made of
[Einstein, 1905] by this trick. He's now got a whole stew of
equation X attached to the explication of equation Y which
has become his standard cut-and-paste template.

Once again demonstrating just how blind Poe really is.
Needless to say,
½[tau(0,0,0,t)+tau(0,0,0,t+x'/(c-v)+x'/(c+v))] = tau(x',0,0,t+x'/(c-v))
IS the equation that contains c+v , nor could it.
But, water under the bridge.

Hey Blind Poe! You there?  Anyone home?
The equation
½[tau(0,0,0,t)+tau(0,0,0,t+x'/(c-v)+x'/(c+v))] = tau(x',0,0,t+x'/(c-v))
contains c+v, Poe! Nor could it, Blind Poe. Not anywhere in the paper, Blind
Poe.

Androcles was much more entertaining when he would reply to my
messages. He still does on occasion, but he refuses to discuss what hes
misunderstanding.

*sigh*, I really don't see how he can sustain the whining about trolls
and "not doing physics" while contributing nothing himself.

Then you never used any original text on relativity, such as the ones this

So you don't see the difference between a doctor measuring your
pulse, fever, etc, and a vodoo priest exorcising your bad soul?
For you it is the same, or at least similar?

No, not at all. Their is a similarity though: both may believe that they are
working to heal the patient. But similarities between Western and African
health care is a completely different subject.

Yep, even fundamentally different things may look similar.

There are citerions of external pressure
which force people to vote by their feet.
Assume 2 doors, door A is labelled "science", door B "faith",
healthy people will choose one or the other, depending on
their mood, but most sick people will prefer door A.
When they feel the pain, they do know right or wrong.
Which means, knowledge hurts, while faith never does.

You're much too optimistic.
