| "The Einstein Hoax" | 31 Mar 2006 20:56 GMT | 1 |
"The Einstein Hoax" "The Einstein Hoax" was written to counter an intellectual "fast shuffle" which used Dr. Einstein's Special Relativity (which is easily seen to be a mathematical copy of the earlier Lorentz Transformations Aether

| expanding balloon model question | 31 Mar 2006 14:47 GMT | 3 |
The expanding balloon model of the universe gives a technique to imagine the homogeneity of the sky. Question: Is this a solution of GR? Using whatever model we like, we can do the following thought experiment.

| Logic and the Criminal Theories of Postscientism | 31 Mar 2006 13:39 GMT | 6 |
Postscientists have found a very successful way of deriving the results they need: they simply use what logicians call the fallacy of affirming the consequent. You just take some credible implication antecedent -> consequent, e.g.

| How does the palace of our physics look like? | 31 Mar 2006 08:42 GMT | 6 |
Its base consists of: 1. Abstract separate absolute space of Newton. and abstract separate absolute time of Newton. 2. Abstract ideal gas,

| "Is There a Force of Gravity?" | 30 Mar 2006 16:52 GMT | 1 |
"Is There a Force of Gravity?" In undergraduate physics, the Newtonian concept of an attractive force between masses that is proportional to the product of the masses divided by the square of their separation is taught. When one advances to the more

A simple look at the field of a uniformly moving electric charge ( see for example http://www.its.caltech.edu/~phys1/java/phys1/MovingCharge/MovingCharge.html [the linear mode] ) and the striking fact that the field is always

We all know the endless discussions about one of the twins chasing the stars and coming back, about SR and Lorentz. Here is a "relatively" simple question, with two

| The BIG Bang! | 30 Mar 2006 15:10 GMT | 155 |
I am not a scientist, just an intelligent man of some education. So I read in the newspaper that scientists have "the smoking gun" that proves that during the Big Bang the universe went from the size of a marble to a volume larger than all observable space in a ...

| Karl Popper and the Criminal Theories of Postscientism | 30 Mar 2006 02:56 GMT | 3 |
Karl Popper: "On this basis we can argue that it would be a highly improbable coincidence if a theory like Einstein's could correctly predict very precise measurements not predicted by its predecessors unless there is 'some truth' in it."

| Great physics happening here ! | 29 Mar 2006 23:43 GMT | 6 |
Isn't physics a great science? Don't you admire physicists? Wouldn't you, as a child, dream of becoming one? Especially when reading some of the gems those great minds can come up with: <quotes>:

| The Dimwits of Spacetime | 29 Mar 2006 20:26 GMT | 6 |
I dare not say, I dare not write that space is warped in the same fashion as magnetism. I dare not say, I dare not write that they even argue about the notion of a monopole at the creation of spacetime.
