No one confused the hamiltonian with the lagrangian (not even you,

Eric confounded both, wrote H = L in previous message and did
incorrect claims about a blog article. You also did :-)

Eric isn't a physicist so don't expect him to be precise as one.

I don't wait Eric to be precise. As noticed in previous days he makes
dozens of mistakes each week, I only point a small fraction of his
nonsenses and I usually do when he decides to replies to me claiming
some mistake from mine, that he imagines in his usual paranoia...

All those big words are confusing. Please forgive the lack of precision
in my verbiage.


But one thing is being no precise and other is his nonsensical claim
that

No. The special relativistic Hamiltonian is H = L = -mc^2 * [1 -
v^2/ c^2 ].

I left out the square root, and you didn't notice?!

ha ha ha ha ha ha continue to troll. Since yesterday there is a new
article in my blog ready to be published. Please take a look :-)

The correct Lagrangian is in my blog. You copied it wrong. Pete also
noticed this mistake from *you* :-)

Moreover, your (H = L) is pure nonsense. That is why I wrote "NONSENSE"
when you wrote above nonsense.

And you wrote many more nonsenses. Each one will be noticed. Congrats you
may be one of more fanatics trolls in the USENET and you will become
known for that :-)

That was your intention during years of insults, no? When avoiding any
advice to change your attitude, no? Then congrats.

You even whine about the placement of gamma, but you don't say word one
about the square root.

The Hamiltonian is identical to Jacobi's integral (sometimes called
the "energy function") in value. The former is expressed in terms of
position and canonical momentum whereas the later is expressed in
terms of position (q) and its first time derivative (dq/dt)

But expressing a Hamiltonian as a function of velocity was only one of
Eric mistakes.

I didn't bother writing the Hamiltonian in the correct set of
generalized coordinates, instead I left it be because IT IS SO FUCKING
OBVIOUS and it was irrelevant to my point.

But since you are pitching a shitfit over it, here: v = p/m --> H = -
mc^2 [1 - p^2 / (mc)^2 ]^1/2

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

I can't stop from lauginhg.

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Does that substitution of the bleedingly obvious make you feel better?
Its' still the same quantity - just in a different set of generalized
coordinates.

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

The second being his confusion that (H = L) from the components T and
V!

Did you fail every classical mechanics course you ever took? How can you
possibly disagree that H = T + V and L = T - V? Regardless, it does not
matter since the Lagrangian is constructed from the metric.

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha


The third mistake being his confusion between the Lagrangian and the
energy in special relativity. Note that Eric *multiplies* by the factor

(1 - (v^2/ c^2))

instead dividing by it. According to *Eric* when a particle travel to
energies close to c its energies vanishes...

No its' supposed to be like that, though with a ^1/2. Nice job on not
noticing an actual mistake.

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

According to *Eric* when a particle travel to energies close to c its
energies vanishes...

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Regardless since you disagree about the sign choice, Taylor expand L in
in v/c and you'll see why the sign is as it is. The negative sign on the
Lagrangian offsets the negative sign when you expand it, so the v << c
limit is Newtonian.

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Given how hard of a time you have understanding Newtonian limits, I
expect a fair bit of arguing about this.

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha


But I am still more perturbed by the fact Eric and Dono considered the
special relativity Hamiltonian (energy) to be a negative quantity!!!

The dynamics do not matter as long as the choice is a consistent choice.

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Regardless - I never claimed that H was an energy in special relativity.
Sure its' conserved, but that doesn't mean it is energy.

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha



*They* sure us that Hamiltonian is negative

H(Eric) = -mc^2 * [1 - v^2/ c^2 ].

With a ^1/2...

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

I'm glad nobody noticed [or at least said anything] in the few hours I
left this message half-constructed.

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Open up any goddamn mechanics textbook and you will see the Lagrangian
for special relativity constructed. It will be the same.

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha


What physicist, student, or aficionado you know that would think that
energy of a massive particle in special relativity is negative?

I never said it was the energy of motion, stupid. All I ever said is
that it was conserved - which is not the same as saying it is energy.
The energy you want to talk about is constructed a different way.

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha


Apart from ignorant and arrogant pair, Eric and Dono, I know of nobody
else.

And after his nonsense still Eric has claimed he is smart and his
formulae is right whereas insulted you!!!!!!!!

That's because the both of you are as smart as bricks, and just as
stubborn.

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha


Pete

My recommendation to users is to avoid Eric and Dono as plague. Several
of their posts with discussion of their favorite tactics will be cited
in a new version of USENET guidelines

http://www.canonicalscience.org/en/miscellaneouszone/guidelines.html

Finally they will get worldwide fame!

Why do you suffer the delusion that your guidelines are relevant to
ANYONE other than yourself?

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Please continue, I want more trolling *nonsense*, don't stop please,
shows us your knowledge and mastering of physics :-)
