Re: Einstein swinging from a rope

Thanks for the replies. It will take some time to decipher what you think
is the case. By then the thread will probably be too far down the list.

I did look at the NASA page about the clocks. At first pass it appears that
someone is on an ego trip at taxpayers expense.

NASA needs an enema. A few days ago there was a NASA representative
responding to concerns that the 14 grams of deadly plutoium on board some of
the launches presents a considerable health hazard. Something in the order
of a millionth of a gram will cause severe health problems. The NASA rep
said there is nothing to worry about. There is only a 1-in-300 probability
of a fatal accident. He has his family there at the launch site, so he
isn't worried. No one should worry because he is willing to kill his family
for "progress."


The lack of respect for the man who took Maxwell's equations a step further
is frightening. I suppose that this is how the Creator keeps the mentally
incompetent from discovering the link between electromagnetism and gravity.
It is best that mankind does not have the power to generate gravity.

I will look into your posts, but high-school geometry is not where
relativity is at.


A few days ago on PBS news radio one of the original inventors of the
electric car was interviewed. He and some others from MIT and Cal-Tech
worked together in the 1960s. They came up with 2000 pounds of batteries in
a VW bus.

Today the guy took a hybrid car getting about 50mpg and increased it to
93mpg. He is so proud of himself, an automotive genius. What he did was
install an adapter and plug the batteries into the wall at night.

The problem is that he doesn't account for the increased mpg by taking
energy from the power grid. He also doesn't realize that if everyone
plugged their car into the wall at night there would be a massive brown-out.
He also doesn't realize the inherent inefficiency of the power grid.

This is what happens when people who have a few pieces of a puzzle take a
hammer and make them fit.

Einstein wasn't an idiot.

magnetic
field gives the electric field, and the rate of change of the electric
field gives the magnetic field. This is what happens in a transformer,
for example, and we've been using sinusoidal AC since Tesla.
Edison doesn't get a look in, he wanted DC but you cannot change
the voltage of DC."

This is first year college engineering. Wave propagation is far more
complex than this.

Einstein's writings indicate that the gravitational field in essence is
non-different from the effect of swinging a box around in a circle on the
end of a rope. There is of course a hypothetical scientist standing on
the
floor of the box in circular motion.

Any opinions? Please don't get too technical. I can appreciate
space-time
theory, but I cannot understand such essentials as Maxwell's equations. I
haven't even figured out what a tensor is. I don't support contemporary
contentions that Einstein made mistakes that need to be corrected. I
suspect that the problem is that far too few people can really understand
what he said. The primary warning in space-time theory is that our
perspective is flawed due to the fact that we do not know what our
relative
state is. We cannot trust what we perceive.

The problem is that the high-energy state of the components of our
reality,
electrons etc., renders them space-time phenomena. That is, they are
grossly affecting the reality that we perceive. That with which we
perceive
is also made of what we are perceiving. The mass-energy relationships of
the components of our reality cannot really be known from our perspective.

We only perceive the outcome. The true nature of what we perceive to be
an
electron may be very different. Mark
