You are prepared to accuse me of being supercilious, yet give not so much as
an answer when the accusation is levelled back and you, instead quoting
Einstein's plagiarism of "It is better to give than receive", and snip all
else (i.e. deliberately ignore) without so much as a by-your-leave.

Does a decade equal a constant force?
No. The question is meaningless drivel.

| I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination.
Yeah, con-artist.
| Imagination is more important than knowledge.
Oh sure... you imagine it, but leave someone with the know-how
to design it.
| Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world. - Albert Einstein
Certainly Einstein's knowledge of mathematics was limited, but then, so is
yours so that's not something to compare.
Go into any public library. The shelves are filled with fiction
(imagination). The reference section (knowledge) is much much smaller, and
you can never find what you are looking for.
Which are the most popular programs on TV? Soap, or educational?
Is Einstein the only sci-fi author you read?
No wonder you imagine your Imagination Quotient is over 136.
When someone is "plonked", that means their name / email address has a rule
applied to it so that the messages they write are no longer read. The reason
for doing so is to filter out the noise that permeates this newsgroup, which
has
something in the order of 200 messages a day, mostly drivel, but some from
serious students of physics.
