Re: Awareness of Nottale's scale relativity work

Hello:

The only web page that was reachable for me was the amazon page. All
other pages claimed: "The connection has timed out." That is one basic
reason :-)

For people who work on the edge of physics, I wish I could impose a
standard that all the math has to be run through a symbolic math
checker, such as Mathematica or Maple.

As a relevant example, the rotation profile of thin disk galaxies
doesn't work for two reasons: based on the mass seen by light and
using Newton's law of gravity (using GR would not materially change
the calculation), the predicted velocity profile falls off instead of
what is observed, which is the velocities are flat as R increases.
Less well known is that disk galaxies are unstable to a perturbation
along the axis: they should collapse when another galaxy passes by!
Any alternative must answer both problems, and be backed up
numerically.

I have my own differential equation I'd like to apply to this
problem. I've even found a description of the mass profile written as
an exponential function for one particular galaxy. Yet I don't
understand the nuts and bolts of elliptical integrals that were first
used by Alar Toomre to solve this problem. I also don't get how to do
numerical integration on the problem. I am not going to buy any
claims of a prediction from an independent researcher until it has
passed through a symbolic math package. Such software is a first
level screen, one that my own work has from time to time failed.
