Hi Kad gotcha Woman,
You asked me,
" Do you have memory problems at all ?
Delusions of adequacy maybe ? "
I've got both of those problems... and in spades.
Re: How Einstein's so called " Greatest Blunder ",
the cosmological constant,
has recently become the leading theory.
( i.e. Dark energy, negative mass, negative energy.
which is gravitationally repulsive...
it's the virtual energy deficit that's
required to maintain the vacuum of space-time )
You burbled,
" He didn't like the idea of a start to the universe because
it didn't cohere with his atheistic notions
so he fudged his calculations with what he called
a 'cosmological force constant' to show that
the universe was essentially static and eternal.
What he did was introduce a constant that
caused the forces of repulsion and attraction
to cancel each other out to nothing. Nothing.
Remember that word. It's important to you
as you go through the rest of your pathetic life, Relfy. "
So there you go, Einstein's truths are outing your ghosts.
Dark energy makes every point in space-time
the center of mass in our universe.
The total energy of our universe adds up to zero.
What's even worse,
Our universe is going from being infinitely dense
to being infinitely empty. ( Due to innate entropy )
( All this is from our perspective, as mere humans )
Because physical processes determine absolutely everything,
Time is perfectly static.
( i.e. Perfectly spatial,
the future is just as fixed as the past )
Einstein threw in the cosmological constant in the face
of other cosmologists who claimed contradictory evidence.
That was a very bold move.
And one that was ultimately quite vindicated.
Re: How Einstein stressed the importance of distinguishing
between A. Randomness due to incomplete information,
and B. Intrinsic randomness ( Which doesn't exist ).
You quipped, " The information in B is incomplete. See A. "
If you think B is not the best assumption,
then ( shudder ) try to tell me why.
Gödel's incompleteness theorem just means that everything
is self-referential ( recursive ) or inconsistent...
so we can only posit, we never perfectly know anything.
You wrote,
" Anyway, Relfy, you must be confused, you poor dear.
Where did you pluck those ideas from in A and B
only to associate them with
someone being helped to understand ? "
Perhaps you've heard about
the twenty year debate between Einstein and Bohr ?
Did you know that Einstein was a very Popular author ?
I have some of his quotes on this topic at my website,
http://www.NCPlus.NET/~jeff_relf/
I conclude with the following quotes from Einstein...
" People like us, who believe in physics,
know that the distinction between past, present,
and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion. "
" every true theorist is a kind of tamed metaphysicist,
no matter how pure a ' positivist '
he may fancy himself.
[ ... He believes in ] a conceptual system built on
premises of great simplicity. ".
" But the scientist is possessed by
the sense of universal causation. The future, to him,
is every whit as necessary and determined as the past. "
" A human being is a part of a whole,
called by us ' Universe ',
a part limited in time and space.
He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings
as something separated from the rest ...
a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. "
" Everything is determined,
the beginning as well as the end,
by forces over which we have no control.
It is determined for the insects as well as the star.
Human beings, vegetables, or cosmic dust,
we all dance to a mysterious tune
intoned in the distance by an invisible piper. "
" If [ God ] is omnipotent, then every occurrence,
including every human action, every human thought,
and Every human feeling and aspiration is also His work ;
how is it possible to think of holding men responsible for
their deeds and thoughts before such an almighty Being ?
In giving out punishment and rewards he would,
to a certain extent, be passing judgment on Himself.
How can this be combined with
the goodness and righteousness ascribed to Him ? "
" The more a man is imbued with
the ordered regularity of all events
the firmer becomes his conviction that
there is no room left by the side of
this ordered regularity for causes of a different
[ ? Supernatural ] nature. "
