His posts are constructive. I wonder sometimes if it's difficult for
you to appreciate anything but destruction.

Stupidity is not constructive. He doesn't know the difference between
force and the scalar potential.

That's nice. Why don't you get off your rear and explain it to him
instead of just flapping your jaw randomly to "hear" the sound of your
own voice?

F = - grad V

Yea, that was hard.

There is no purpose served in explaining it to him because he has
taken the time to write a LOT about three subjects he does not
understand: classical mechanics, special relativity, and general
relativity.

He doesn't understand how to get from a scalar potential to a force -
no understanding of classical mechanics.
He doesn't understand that SR is /only valid/ in gravitation-free or
sufficiently local regions - no understanding of SR.
He doesn't understand GR, which he is trying to supplant/replace, by
virtue of no understanding of the previous two.
